Skin Tone Detail Correction
Separately reducing the sharpness of two skin tones helps tone
down wrinkles and dull areas to produce beautiful, naturally
textured results when recording people. Since it is possible to
apply this function throughout the entire hue phase (360°),
sharpness can also be reduced for colors other than skin tones.
Enhanced DTL Signal Processing
Enhanced DTL signal processing ensures superb picture quality
with minimal noise in horizontal and vertical directions, as well as in
the image's dark and brightly lit areas.
Color Correction Matrix
The EBU or NTSC preset color correction matrix can be selected.
Designed for Easy Operation and Expandability
The AK-HC3500A incorporates Panasonic's extensive broadcast
camera design know-how to provide even easier operation.
Convenient features include a backlight on the rear operation panel
for improved operation in dark settings and an SD Memory Card slot
for easy storage of user settings. A movable optical connector is
also provided to reduce stress on the optical cable.
Variable Internal Diameter Lens Mount for
Easy Use with a Build-up Unit*
When mounting onto an optional Build-up Unit, a mechanism enlarges
the internal diameter of the lens mount. Because the lens and camera
can be separately mounted onto or removed from the Build-up Unit,
its operation is easier and faster than a conventional model.
*This model is not available in some areas.
Servo Control ND/CC Filters
The following ND/CC motor driven double optical filters are
available for shooting in variable lighting conditions.
[CC filter] 3200K, 4300K, 6300K, Cross, Diffusion
[ND filter] CAP, Through, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64
SD Memory Card Slot
Using an SD Memory Card enables storage and retrieval of various
camera settings, such as user viewfinder indications.
*SD Memory Cards are sold separately. Panasonic cards with a capacity of 2 GB or lower
are recommended. SDXC and SDHC Memory Cards are not compatible.
Movable Optical Cable Connector
The AK-HC3500A can be connected to a Camera Control Unit (CCU)
via an optical fiber cable. High-quality images and signals can be
transmitted even when the cable length between the camera and the
CCU is up to about 2,000 m. Operating convenience is further
assured by the movable connector.
RS-422/RS-232C Selectable Data Trunk Line
Two lines of data trunk are provided (selectable from RS-422/
RS-232C).
Ergonomic, Low-Profile Design
The ergonomic, low-profile design reduces fatigue when the
operator needs to shoulder the camera for long periods. It also
facilitates use when mounted on the Build-up Unit, for more
efficient operation both indoors and out. When held on the
shoulder, the viewfinder is closer to the optical axis, thus reducing
parallax. The shoulder pad can be moved in a 24-mm range, to
enable more stable shooting.
Other Advanced Digital Functions
• A lens file function (for up to 32 files) to save flare and shading
values.
• Various information, including color temperature, is displayed in
the viewfinder.
