Other Features (3.0)
Faders - You get two fader colors on the PV-GS320—white and black. When the camcorder begins rolling, shots will fade in. Shots will fade out when the record start/stop button is pressed again to end recording. Quite dramatic.

Quick Start - Most camcorders include a quick start feature. When engaged, the PV-GS320’s version keeps the battery running even when the LCD and viewfinder are closed. Because of this, the camcorder can spring back into action in—based on what Panasonic reports—1.7 seconds. Don’t be sucker punched by Panasonic’s grandiose claim; it’s more like 2.4 seconds.

AGS - Auto Ground-Directional Standby is not the most amazing feature we’ve ever seen, but it has its uses. When engaged, this control senses if camcorder has been left in the on position while facing downward or upside-down for too long. If so, it automatically shuts off.
