Mini DV Format
The revolutionary digital video format capable of more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution -- far superior to the 240 lines offered by 8mm camcorders, and nearly double the resolution offered by a live television broadcast. Mini DV offers three times the color sharpness of 8mm camcorders to create brilliant video color with minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture. It can also record CD-quality audio - all on a miniature cassette that is 1/12th of the size of a standard VHS tape. Plus, when you make a digital copy of your Mini DV tapes, it is an exact clone of the original.
24x Hi-Definition Zoom/800x Digital Zoom
The Panasonic PV-GS19 Mini DV camcorder comes with a lens capable of a 24:1 optical zoom. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity, so you won't miss a single detail. It also offers variable zoom speeds, so you can zoom in for close-ups, or zoom out for wide angle shots, using any of seven different zoom speeds.
Through the use of digital technology, the zoom ratio can be increased to 800:1*, producing an incredibly close shot.
* As digital magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.
Digital Electronic Image Stabilization
To steady shaky video, the PV-GS19 camcorder incorporates Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement.
One-Touch Navigation and Joystick Control
A convenient thumb wheel lets the user quickly access major functions such as JPEG playback, memory card recording and tape recording while a new joystick allows easy navigation of the controls using the thumb only.
Built-in SD Drive
SD memory cards are incredibly versatile, holding vast amounts of information and are about the size of a postage stamp. That's why they're revolutionizing the way people enjoy audio, video and information content. In fact, SD memory cards are used in a wide range of products, including A/V equipment, PCs, cellular phones, PDAs and other communication devices. And you'll be able to enjoy this amazing technology as most Panasonic Digital Palmcorders boast SD card slots, opening up a wealth of networking possibilities.
Thanks to the SD card slot, you can actually use your camcorder as an external SD storage drive. PC connection cable and driver software are included with the PV-GS19. Using the included USB cable, transfer photos, data motion files or even motion images back and forth between the camcorder and your PC.
USB Connection Via Optional USB Cable
This convenient feature allows you to link the camcorder to your computer via the USB port. Then, you can easily transfer still images captured on Mini DV tape to your computer for use in e-mail or printed documents.

Pure Color Engine
The Pure Color Engine LSI converts the CCD output signal into an RGB signal (containing the three primary colors in light) at an early stage and extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal. The result is superb color reproduction.
Soft-Skin Mode
To faithfully reproduce natural skin tones, the PV-GS19 camcorder features Panasonic's Soft Skin Detail function, which detects skin's different tones and softens the focus to create a realistic blend.
i.Link� IEEE 1394 Digital Video Interface
Using the industry standard i.LINK (IEEE 1394 PC interface, also known as FireWire), the DV format offers professional editing and dubbing capabilities in a user-friendly format. You can create duplicate copies of videos without any deterioration in video quality, or record professional-looking videos at home without the need for expensive professional software and equipment.
The i.LINK (IEEE 1394 PC interface) provides a high speed, two-way link that allows the user to easily transfer video and still images between similarly equipped camcorders, or between a camcorder and a computer without any deterioration in either sound or video quality.
