Panasonic HMTA20D Camcorder Orange

Shoot anywhere, anytime.

Tough Design for Active Shooting

The HM-TA20 is a triple-tough design with waterproofing down to 3 meters for use even in seawater, shock-proofing to withstand a 1.5-meter drop, and a dustproof structure. This tough, compact, easy-to-carry design is ideal for both everyday and highly active use.

* Waterproof: IEC60529 IPX8, Shockproof: MIL-STD-810F METHOD 516.5 SHOCK, Dustproof: IEC60529 IP5X

Waterproof to a Depth of 3 Meters*

Take the HM-TA20 underwater as deep as 3 meters and get some great shots in a pool or the ocean. Swim along with tropical fish, capture shots of a beautiful coral reef, or get action footage of a friend snorkeling. Waterproofing also means you can shoot in the rain or snow with no worries.

* This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

Shockproof for Falls from Up to 1.5 Meters*

The HM-TA20 is designed to resist damage even if dropped from a height of up to 1.5 meters.* We fortified the outer body casing, making it thicker to improve rigidity and strength. This solid construction makes the HM-TA20 a tough mobile camera.

* This is not a guarantee of no breakdowns, no malfunctions, or complete waterproofing under all conditions.

Dustproof*

A dustproof design keeps the HM-TA20 safe even if handled with dirty hands or used in a place with swirling dust. The HM-TA20 is protected against sand too, so you can take it to the beach or sports field with no worries. And it's waterproof, so if the body gets dirty you can simply wash it off with water.

* This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

Capture bright images even in dimly lit places.

Night View Mode
The HM-TA20/TA2 is equipped with Night View Mode, which lets you shoot with twice the brightness of the previous HM-TA1. When shooting, this function automatically detects dark scenes and the mode selector button lights up on the LCD screen. Simply press the button to start shooting with Night View Mode. And you can shoot clear images with minimal noise even in dark scenes, such as dimly lit indoor shots or party scenes.

Intuitive operation, easy viewing.

3.0-inch Touch Screen
The HM-TA20/TA2 has an easy-to-see 3.0-inch touch panel with intuitive operation. The touch panel has a simple button layout and is easy to operate. The vertical configuration makes the camera easy to hold for shooting, while the horizontal 3.0-inch screen simplifies playback. To further increase operating ease, the Rec button is isolated and positioned below the touch panel. So you can simply pick up your mobile camera and start shooting or playback.

Great for web camera use or when recording stationary images.
