Panasonic HC-X20 4K UHD Professional Camcorder

Description: Panasonic HC-X20 4K UHD Professional CamcorderSKU: PCHCX20Mfr. Part: HC-X20 Item IncludesPanasonic HC-X20 4K UHD Professional Camcorder - AC Adapter - AC Cable - Rechargeable Battery Pack (5900mAh) - Battery Charger - Eye Cup - Lens Hood - Microphone Holder - Microphone Holder Screws - Input Terminal Cap - Panasonic 1 Year Limited Warranty DescriptionThe HC-X20 offers 20x optical zoom, 24.5mm wide angle for both UHD and FHD, 4K high-precision AF with new face detection and higher precision, 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+, high brightness LCD, and more. For video recording, the camcorders support 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p/25p internal video recording and the new, high-efficiency HEVC codec. They have been equipped with a wide variety of recording formats for the best selections such as Super slow motion (120/100 fps) and VFR (2 to 60 fps). Features Featuring Remarkable Optical Performance for Precise Shooting The integrated lens offers a remarkably powerful, optical 20x zoom that ranges from 24.5mm wide angle to 490mm tele. i.ZOOM achieves 24x at 4K resolution, and 32x at FHD. The 4-Drive Lens System drives the four lens groups independently, thus achieving the optical 20x zoom and compact body size. High-speed, High-precision AF Including Face Detection AF/AE Superior focusing speed, stability and tracking performance for both 4K and Full-HD is achieved thanks to Face Detection AF/AE together with the precise focus lens drive. Face Detection AF/AE provides precise focusing and sufficient exposure for subjects. In addition, subject tracking with color recognition can be activated by just touching the LCD panel enabling precise tracking. 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ Enables Stable Image Acquisition For both UHD and FHD modes, in addition to OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), Electronic Image Stabilization operates to detect and correct handshake in 5 axes, including rotational blurring. This provides strong correction under unstable conditions, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction on the drive section, achieving delicate correction even for small-amplitude handshake. This produces beautiful images with suppressed handshake even at high, 20x optical zoom. High-sensitivity 1.0-type (1.0-inch) 4K Sensor for Superb Image Quality The 1.0-type (1.0-inch) MOS sensor (approximately 15.03 effective megapixels) is capable of recording at UHD (3840 x 2160) without cropping and offers a moderate depth of field and an excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity. The file format can be selected from versatile and easy-to-use MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and AVCHD. High-Quality Recording with Versatile Modes The camcorders support a variety of bit rates and formats to meet professional needs. Internal recording of UHD up to 29.98p/25p and FHD up to 59.94p/50p in 4:2:2 10-bit high quality is now possible. When set for 10-bit recording, the camcorder delivers 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, enabling high image quality capture with an external recorder. New, highly efficient HEVC recording (LongGOP/10-bit 4:2:0/MOV) is also supported for recording 59.94p at a high bit rate of 200 Mbps, in addition to MOV, MP4, and AVCHD file formats. Super Slow Motion and VFR (2 to 60 fps) The Super Slow Motion function records HD images at a high speed of 120 fps (59.94 Hz)/100 fps (50 Hz) to provide a slow-motion effect. The HC-X20 is also newly equipped with a VFR (variable frame rate) recording function that allows the change of frame rate setting in ten steps from 2 to 60 fps. This lets the user produce creative and expressive videos using techniques such as overcranking for a slow-motion effect and undercranking for a quick-motion effect. Versatile Network Functions Expand the User's Workflow The built-in Wi-Fi module enables Wi-Fi connectivity using only the main unit. The HC-ROP tablet/smartphone app enables wireless remote control, including camera settings and lens control. HC-X20 can be connected to a wired LAN by using a USB Ethernet adapter (sold separately). RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-compatible FHD streaming enables direct connection and streaming of live concerts, sporting events, breaking news, etc. to Facebook, YouTube, etc. It is also now possible to record while streaming. Functions and Designs Supporting Pro Camera Work The 3.5-inch LCD monitor has a high resolution of approximately 2,760k dots, more than double that of the previous model, and realizes excellent visibility even in bright sunlight with twice the brightness compared to the previous model. The electrostatic touch panel also improves operability when selecting menus. Since the 2,360K-dot tiltable viewfinder and LCD output simultaneously, the image being recorded can also be confirmed in the LCD monitor while viewing it on the EVF, thus improving work efficiency. Also, to support fast, accurate manual focusing, Focus Assist functions are equipped, including Expand, Peaking and Area Mode. For shooting in even darker conditions, commercially available IR lights are supported for IR (Infrared) Shooting. The lens barrel features Triple Manual Rings for zoom, focus and iris operations. There are a total of 14 User buttons, nine on the body and five on the LCD touch panel. These User buttons can be allocated with desired functions. The ND filter can be set to Clear, 1/4, 1/16 or 1/64. Gain selector and AWB selector are also provided. The controls are designed and engineered to meet the needs of video professionals. The included battery is designed to be integrated into the camera, not protruding from it, and can provide approximately 4 hours and 25 minutes of continuous shooting. Double SD Card Slot and UHD/FHD Dual Codec Recording Two SD memory card slots are provided. The recording media switches automatically and seamlessly from Slot 1 to Slot 2. By changing a full SD card with a new SD card, images can be recorded continuously for many hours.
