The Image Quality, Mobility and Versatility that Professionals Need

The AG-DVX100 shuttered conventional notions of what a DV camera-recorder could do, delivering image quality, functions and
operating ease suitable for professional applications. As the first model in its class to offer the 25p Cinema mode, 
the AG-DVX100 was particularly well received by filmmakers and image creators. Now, Panasonic introduces the AG-DVX100A. 
This advanced new model takes the DV camera a big step forward, retaining the popular features of its predecessor while adding
enhancements that reflect feedback from professionals who used the AG-DVX100.The AG-DVX100A offers higher image quality
and more functions than its predecessor. Even more important, it provides high-level specifications and design improvements that
cater to the needs of professional camera operators. Mobile, versatile and easy to use, the Diamond Graphite AG-DVX100A has
everything you need for creative content production and active image gathering.

Further Evolution in the DV Camera-Recorder

Enhanced 25p Progressive Mode Function

Focus assist, gain up (+12 dB max.), and a colour bar display have been
added to enhance shooting in 25p Progressive mode.

Improved Colour Reproduction 

Optimized colour separation optics and a new high-performance lens that
uses low-dispersion glass combine to capture vivid, faithful colours.

New Cine-Like Gamma Curves and Enhanced Image
Adjustments

New modes have been added to the gamma curve and matrix settings.
New V DTL Level, Coring, and Knee adjustments have also been added.

Slow Shutter Function for Higher Sensitivity and
Dramatic Effects

The slow shutter (accumulative mode) drops the shutter speed to 1/3 sec,
1/6 sec, etc., for higher sensitivity low light shooting and dramatic, frame-
by-frame like effects.

Smoother Zooming and Focusing

The operating feel of the manual zoom and manual focus ring has been
further enhanced. You feel virtually the same steady resistance as when
using a conventional professional lens. 

Focus Assist and New Recording Mode for Improved
Ease and Versatility

The viewfinder features a B/W display mode and detail (PEAKING) function
for easier focusing. Three user-assignable buttons (USER1, USER2, USER3)
give you instant, one-touch access to three setup functions. A new 15-sec
interval recording mode has also been added.
