What’s in the Box?

- AC Adapter (VSK0697)
- AC cable (K2CA2CA00029)
- DC cable (K2GJ2DC00021)
- AV cable (K2KZ9CB00002)
- USB cable (K1HA05CD0018)
- VideoCam Suite 1.0 Software

Other Features (2.0)
MagicPix - This is Panasonic's night mode, and like night modes on most camcorders, it can appear a little heavy handed. When activated, the auto shutter appears to drop as low as 1/2 of a second. While it does increase low light sensitivity, it has the effect of making your video look incredibly blurry when anything moves.

Fades - This option forces the camcorder to fade up from and into black or white whenever you hit the record button.

Power LCD Plus - This feature brightens or darkens the LCD. Be careful, however, that you don't mistake the brightness of the LCD for the exposure levels that the camcorder is producing. The button to turn it on and off is located on the back of the camcorder.

DVD Copy - When the SDR-H60 is connected to a standalone DVD burner, push the DVD Copy button on the back to start the back-up process.
