Panasonic's professional 3CCD video cameras have brought breathtaking images to viewers around the world since 1992, when they were first selected as the broadcast equipment for the Olympic Games. Panasonic has downsized its professional 3CCD camera system for use in the H280. In a 3CCD camera system, the light received through the lens is split into its three primary color components (red, green and blue), providing more vivid, true-to-life colors, greater detail and richer gradation.

It protects data well too, thanks to its exceptional reliability. This is made possible by the super-reliable SD memory card, which does not require any kind of transport mechanism, together with an anti-shock shield that helps protect the built-in hard disk from the effects of external impact. With its extended recording times and rugged design, this model is ideal for shooting lengthy events or for taking on the road.

It also offers a function that simplifies the process of copying recordings from the memory card or hard disk to a DVD disc. No PC is required. A DVD disc created this way can be easily played on DVD players.
