Internal Optical ND Filter
The AG-AF100 series has an internal neutral
density (ND) filter that is essential for video
recording. The dedicated dial on the camera
body lets you adjust the setting in three
steps (1/4ND, 1/16ND, and 1/64ND) with any
type of lenses.
Dynamic Range Stretch Function
DRS recognizes the average brightness of
highlight and shadow areas and then
automatically adjusts the aperture and uses
knee control to suppress blocking in the
shadow areas. In scenes with mixed dark
and light areas, DRS automatically provides
a wider dynamic range with minimal blown
highlights and blocked shadows.
7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the
VariCam, Panasonic has equipped the
AG-AF100 series with advanced gamma
functions that address seven different
shooting scenarios and enhance your
creative abilities. This includes the cinelike
gamma, which produces the characteristic
warm tone of film recordings.
