With its 1/2.5-inch, 7.38-megapixel (total) CCD, the Xacti HD2 lets you take beautiful 7.1-megapixel still images with vivid, true-to-life color and extraordinary detail. Switch to 16:9 wide-aspect ratio, and it can capture 5.3-megapixel (3072 x 1728) stills.

	SANYO's original algorithm uses a pixel-interpolation filter to convert the CCD's 7.1 effective megapixels to the recorded equivalent of 10 megapixels. This filter enables fine-grained A3-sized printouts of detailed images. You can even enlarge part of an image without sacrificing image fidelity.

	Thanks to its advanced 4-pixel mixture technology, the Xacti HD2 can capture increased levels of detail in still images taken at ISO 1600. Now you can capture sharper and more accurate still images, even under the kind of low lighting conditions that occur during an indoor party or outdoors at night.

	In the middle of shooting an HD (1280 x 720-pixel) movie, a simple press of the shutter button lets you record a 7.1-megapixel still image at the same time. Alternatively, you can simultaneously capture a wide-angle, high-definition, 5.3-megapixel still image (3072 x 1728 pixels).

	Using the 16:9 wide-picture mode ([5.3M] mode: 3072 x 1728 pixels), you can enjoy superb panoramic images on a wide-screen, high-definition TV.

	The following settings can be manually adjusted according to the shooting situation: Manual focus adjustment (22 settings); aperture adjustment (5 steps); exposure compensation (±1.8 EV, 0.3 EV steps); shutter speed (16 settings); ND filter On/Off; and image-quality adjustment (for sharpness and color saturation).

	Ideal for shooting plants, insects, or products you wish to auction on the web. The Xacti HD2’s super macro function lets you shoot subjects from just 1 cm away.
