Shooting at a high shutter speed also makes it possible to later produce

crisp, sharp still photos from the moving images you've captured.

The SD100 and HS100 also introduce a new high-performance

Leica lens in which both resolution and contrast have been

improved by refinements to our low-dispersion lens and

aspherical lens. The lens is highly refractive too, making it possible to pack a

powerful 12x zoom into a compact body. A multi-coating process applied to all lens

surfaces helps suppress ghosts and ﬂaring, so you get sharp, crisp images even in

strong outdoor lighting. The superb rendering ability of this advanced camcorder

Switch the power on and the SD100 and HS100 are in

This clever function records three seconds of

images even before you actually begin shooting.

The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory,

before recording onto the SDHC/SD Memory Card or hard disk begins.

This helps ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to

record, such as when an event begins all of a sudden.

Face Detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and
