The progressive 3MOS image sensors record full-HD images with a total,
3.05-megapixel (approx.) resolution [effective motion-image resolution of
2.51 megapixels (approx.)]. This produces full-raster HD images with high
resolution and superb image quality. Because each of the three separate
image sensors receives one of the three primary colors of light (red, green and
blue), they render more precise images and more faithful colors than the single
light-receiving 1MOS sensor.

Up to 120x Zoom Power
HD Lens Unit
Even at the 490 mm zoom setting (35 mm lens equivalent), this advanced 12x
optical zoom lens is free of image degradation. And the AG-HMR10 Series is
equipped with a digital zoom that instantly magnifies the image by any of
three fixed values. 2x, 5x or 10x. Use it together with the 12x optical zoom
lens, and you get super magnification equivalent to a 120x zoom, without the
drop in light intensity that happens when using a lens extender. This advanced
lens also lets you capture 40.8 mm wide-angle shots (35 mm lens equivalent)
— unusual for such a compact unit.
A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each
pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades
are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for
each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The
images that result are enhanced by a visually wider dynamic range.
Because hand-shake correction is done by actually driving the lens, there's
none of the image degradation that occurs with electronic stabilization. You
can capture beautiful, high-quality shots even in situations where
hand-shake is typically a big problem — such as when zooming, shooting
indoors in dim lighting, or shooting outdoors at night.

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam HD camcorders for
digital cinema, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HMR10 Series with
advanced gamma functions that address seven different shooting
scenarios and enhance your creative abilities. This includes the cine-like
gamma, which produces the characteristic warm tone of film recordings.

Quick, Easy Focusing
HD Focus Assist Function
Wide Range of Settings
Slow Shutter and Synchro Scan Functions
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation
method provides bright-color images with less noise than those captured
using conventional gain-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for
nighttime shooting without illumination.
The AG-HCK10G makes it easy to shoot from high angles. And
because the AG-HMR10 Series recorder comes standard with
HD-SDI output, you don't need a converter for connecting to an HD
digital broadcast recorder, an HD switcher, or a relay transponder.
Recording Unique News Angle
Simply attach the camera to the dashboard, and place the recorder
in the glove box for space-saving installation.
Vehicle Onboard Shooting
The compact AG-HCK10G can be easily set up in the shadow of a
tree for close-up observation of plants and animals in their natural
habitat. The Time Stamp function lets you insert information such as
the date and time directly onto the images as you record, for
scientific use.
Recording Plant and Animal Observations
The AG-HCK10G lets you shoot from angles that would be difficult
with ordinary cameras, such as high places and narrow spaces.
Because the recorder and camera are separate, even if some
unexpected problem should occur with the camera, the recorded
data remains safe.

In addition to the center zoom function, which enlarges the center area of
the image for easier focusing, a focus bar can be displayed to indicate the
focus level by the length of the bar. A peak hold function in the focus bar
makes it easy to find the optimal focus position. The One-Push Auto Focus
mode also lets you temporarily switch to AF mode during manual focusing.
