Digital Zoom Ratio	1000
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Image Stabilisation	Yes
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
resolution (Megapixel)	1.17
Resolution (Pixels)	1920x1080
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.

Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.

Hard Disk Capacity in GB	100
Hard Disk capacity is measured in GBs which stands for Gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 MB or megabytes. The more GB you have the more info like photos and music you can store.

100GB Full HD SD Card/HDD Hybrid Camcorder with 16x Optical Zoom

The HS25 is a hybrid camcorder that records Full HD images either on an SD (or SDHC) Memory Card or the built-in 100GB hard disk drive. A 100-GB HDD can hold around 41h 40min of recorded video clips (in HE mode). The HS25 can copy recorded video images from the SD Memory Card to the hard disk, or vice versa, with easy operation.

The iA function automatically activates several convenient shooting functions. These include Advanced O.I.S., which compensates for hand-shake to eliminate blurring; Face Detection, which adjusts the exposure so faces are captured perfectly; and Intelligent Contrast Control, which helps ensure proper contrast. Also included is the Intelligent Scene Selector, which determines the shooting conditions and automatically selects the scene setting that will provide optimal results. And AF Tracking keeps the subject in focus even if it moves around to ensure continuously beautiful image quality.

With the developed Leica Dicomar lens, which enabled the optical 16x zoom, HDC-HS25 gives you dynamic zooming in full HD image quality. The HDC-HS25EB-K is an exclusive to Currys.
