In addition, the PV-GS33's digital zoom ratio can be increased up to an extraordinary 700x. Now that's close up!Soft skin mode detects skin tones and softens the focus in that area of the picture. It helps make blemishes and lines appear less noticeable, while preserving the sharpness of other areas in the picture.Digital Electronics Image Stabilizer (D-EIS) compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize your recordings, even while you're recording as a passenger from a moving vehicle or while walking. With Digital EIS, you will not have to worry about shaky soccer games or family outings.The drama of extreme close-ups is still achievable even if you're too far from your subject to obtain a conventional macro shot.

This powerful imaging technique allows for excellent, soft-focused backgrounds while minimizing the chance of the camcorder casting a shadow on the subject.
