About this model
The Panasonic HC-V380 is a compact, easy-to-use Full HD camcorder built for family films, holidays and events. Its 50x optical zoom pulls distant subjects close, while 5-axis hybrid image stabilisation keeps handheld footage steady even at full zoom. Video is recorded at Full HD 1080p to SD cards, and the 3-inch touchscreen makes menu navigation straightforward. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you monitor and control the camcorder from a smartphone, and share clips wirelessly. A built-in LED light helps in dim conditions, and the long-zoom lens makes it a versatile choice for travel and outdoor shooting.
