*1: In HE (extended time) mode using a 32 GB SDHC Memory Card.  
*2: Data transfer speed varies depending on the usage of SD devices. 

The speed given here is the maximum speed according to 
Panasonic specifications.

The AG-HMR10 Series features the image-enhancing PH mode that 
Panasonic developed exclusively for AVCCAM camcorders. It delivers a 
maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mbps (average: 21 Mbps). Designed for 
professional image production, this mode handles full-raster HD 1920 x 
1080 and 1280 x 720 HD pixels, and lets you record 1080/30p, 
1080/25p, and 1080/24p progressive images in addition to 1080/60i and 
1080/50i when connected to the AG-HCK10G (optional).

Unlike videotape, there's no need for cueing with the SDHC Memory Card 
because recording automatically begins in a blank section of memory. Nor 
do you have to worry about accidentally recording over important footage. 
You can delete unwanted clips instantly right on the spot to preserve 
memory capacity. Editing after shooting is smooth and easy, with no need 
for digitizing. The tiny SDHC Memory Card is durable, too. Its operating 
range is from -25 ºC to +85 ºC (-13 ºF to +185 ºF), so you can stop 
worrying about harsh temperatures or condensation and just concentrate 
on your shooting. And of course, you never have to worry about problems 
with dropouts or clogged heads.

Versatile Solid-state Recording Functions

Adjust the Image Quality While Watching the Signal Level

Waveform Monitor Display

To simplify shot selection, you can add a mark to the thumbnail images of 
each clip. You can then display and play only the clips that have shot marks.

Shot mark

This helps to ensure you always get the shot you want, by letting you 
continuously store, and subsequently record, images and sounds for 
3 seconds before the REC button is pressed in standby mode.

* Can be used only when combined with the AG-HCK10G.

Pre-REC

Plays back the last 2 seconds of the most recently recorded clip for 
quick confirmation.

* Can be used only when combined with the AG-HCK10G.

REC CHECK

The image displayed on the LCD monitor can be reversed vertically and 
horizontally to check the angle and recorded image.

* Only the image display is reversed. The recorded image remains in its 

original orientation. It can be assigned as the User button if desired.

LCD REVERSE

The date, camera operator, location, title and other information can be 
added to the image data.

Meta-data recording

Index flags can be added to any desired points in a clip during recording 
or playback. Up to 100 index flags can be added to each clip.

The display can be switched from 
waveform monitor (WFM) to vector 
scope (VECTOR).

INDEX

Only the most recently recorded clip is deleted with this one-touch 
function. It can be assigned as a User button function if desired.

Last clip delete

Displayed from Z00 
to Z99. Handy for 
remembering the 
angle of view.

A horizontal analysis of the input signal's brightness level can be displayed 
on the monitor. This lets you adjust the standard black and white levels 
while checking the Waveform Monitor (WFM), making it easy to get highly 
accurate adjustments.

Convenient Recording Functions

Meets a Variety of Needs

Convenient Playback Functions

You can insert time and date information 
into the video signal. This could be 
convenient, for example, when observing 
animals over an extended period, in 
certain academic uses, in surveillance, 
court reporting, legal depositions or law 
enforcement applications.

Time stamp

TC/UB recording

When the Stop key is pressed during playback, the stop position is 
stored in memory. Simply press the Play key to start playing again from 
the stop position. This feature is especially appreciated when reviewing 
long clips.
* Turning off the power resets the memory. This function is disabled in 

the factory default setting.

Resume Playback

This function provides repeat clip playback. It is convenient for use in 
presentations and demonstrations because playback is seamless, and 
there's no need for rewinding. There's also no wear or tear on the 
recording media or degradation in the image quality.

* Repeat playback of multiple clips is possible only for clips of the same format.

Repeat Playback

The AG-HMR10 Series allows fast forward, fast reverse, clip forward, clip 
reverse, and frame by frame playback operation.

Clip Operation

Provides a built-in SMPTE time-code
generator.

*2: In the Native mode, AG-HMR10 Series records only active frames.

* A Class 4 or higher SDHC or SD Memory Card is required for PH and HA 

recording. Use a Class 2 or higher SDHC or SD Memory Card for other 
modes. (Panasonic SDHC or SD Memory Cards are recommended.)
