New, Stylish Design Boosts Mobility
Even with its high-powered zoom lens, the integrated camera and
recorder sections are compact and stylish. Shifting the handle grip and
LCD position forward (toward the lens) has improved the weight balance
and visibility for handheld shooting, enabling a comfortably wide view.
The magnesium alloy die cast chassis also excels in both ruggedness and
durability.
Low-Angle Shots and Interviews
• The upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop
button and a lens zoom speed control (three speed levels). This design
assures easy shooting even at low angles.
• The LCD monitor mirror mode is convenient when shooting interviews.

Multi-Camera Synchronizing with Genlock IN and TC IN/OUT
These handheld cameras support a multi-camera configuration. They
feature a built-in SMPTE time-code generator/reader, TC input/output,
and Genlock input for multi-camera recording with time-code
synchronization. Images can be synched and output to a switcher,
providing the same level of operation as many shoulder-type models.
Digital A/V Output with SDI and HDMI
• SDI OUT (HD/SD):
Allows camera-through output during HD/SD
recording, or outputs high-quality 10 bit, 4:2:2 images for playback of
AVC-Intra 100 footage. Includes embedded audio, and supports Rec S/S
linked backup recording with a Panasonic recorder equipped with HD SDI
input. When outputting SD SDI down-converted from an HD source, the
Aspect Ratio Conversion mode can also be selected.
• HDMI OUT:
This is a next-generation interface for HD video and audio.
It allows digital A/V output from a wide range of devices with both
professional and consumer specifications.
• VIDEO OUT:
SD composite output. HD playback is down-converted.
Other Interfaces
