Panasonic's HM-TA20 Waterproof Mobile Camcorder is not only compact and versatile, it's tough. This tough camera shoots high-quality video, photos, and audio, but it's also waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof


The HM-TA20 can shoot up to Full-HD 1920 x 1080 video, giving you the highest possible image quality for large-screen HDTV display. Also standard is the TA20's Electrical Image Stabilization (E.I.S.) to keep your handheld shots from getting too shaky. Add to that the ability to snap high-quality 5MP photos, and you've got a solid and stylish electronic companion that fits snugly in your pocket.

But the TA20 is more than just a tough, reliable warrior-cam. It also revels in flourishes of its own--starting with a large, bright 3" Touch Screen LCD for easily composing your shots. Use it vertically for shooting and horizontally for playing back from an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (purchased separately). You can also shoot at night, using either the built-in LED video light or Night View mode--which lets you capture well-exposed images even in dimly lit environments. If self-portraits or rock-steady images are called for, the included mini tripod provides a sturdy foundation to shoot from.

Other fun additions include a trio of image effects--Sepia, Soft Skin, and Monochrome--to enhance the already high quality of your images. And if audio is all you need, then a separate function lets you record just that (in linear PCM stereo, no less). When it comes time to share your recordings with friends, a built-in USB terminal and HDMI port let you easily connect the camera to a computer for editing and uploading or to the nearest HDTV--to elicit every ooh and ahh your footage deserves.


Tough Design for Active Shooting
The HM-TA20 is a triple-tough design with waterproofing down to 9.8 feet (3 meters) for use even in seawater, shock-proofing to withstand a 1.5-meter drop, and a dustproof structure. This tough, compact, easy-to-carry design is ideal for both everyday and highly active use.

Waterproof to a Depth of 3 Meters
Take the HM-TA20 underwater as deep as 9.8 feet (3 meters) and get some great shots in a pool or the ocean. Swim along with tropical fish, capture shots of a beautiful coral reef, or get action footage of a friend snorkeling. Waterproofing also means you can shoot in the rain or snow with no worries.

Shockproof for Falls from Up to 1.5 Meters
The HM-TA20 is designed to resist damage even if dropped from a height of up to 4.9 feet (1.5 meters). Panasonic fortified the outer body casing, making it thicker to improve rigidity and strength. This solid construction makes the HM-TA20 a tough mobile camera.

Dustproof
A dustproof design keeps the HM-TA20 safe even if handled with dirty hands or used in a place with swirling dust. The camera is protected against sand too, so you can take it to the beach or sports field with no worries. And it's waterproof, so if the body gets dirty you can simply wash it off with water.

Full-HD (1920 x 1080) Recording
Record high-quality Full-HD (1920 x 1080/30p) movies with this handy little compact. Save those fun moments forever in beautiful HD images.

Compact Size
Even with its compact size and super mobility, the HM-TA20 lets you shoot Full-HD movies and photos. Just slip it into a pocket or hang it from your wrist. It goes wherever you go. Perfect for capturing everyday fun.

3.0" Touch Screen
The HM-TA20 has an easy-to-see 3.0" touch panel with intuitive operation. The touch panel has a simple button layout and is easy to operate. The vertical configuration makes the camera easy to hold for shooting, while the horizontal 3.0" screen simplifies playback. To further increase operating ease, the Rec button is isolated and positioned below the touch panel. So you can simply pick up your mobile camera and start shooting or playback.

Built-in USB
The TA20's built-in USB terminal means that there's no need to carry around an adapter. And you can charge the battery by simply plugging the USB terminal into a PC.

HDMI Connection
The TA20 features a mini HDMI terminal that lets you enjoy images with natural Full-HD quality by directly connecting the camera to an HDTV.
