Panasonic HC-X2 4K 60p Ultra HD Pro Camcorder with 1-inch Sensor, 24.5mm Wide-Angle Lens & 20x Zoom
Panasonic HC-X2 4K 60p Ultra HD Pro Camcorder with 1-inch Sensor, 24.5mm Wide-Angle Lens & 20x Zoom
The Panasonic Camcorder HC-X2 video recorder offers 20x optical zoom, 24.5mm wide angle for both UHD and FHD, 4K high-precision AF with new face detection and higher precision, 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+, high brightness LCD, and more. For video recording, the HC-X2 supports 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p/25p internal video recording and the new, high-efficiency HEVC codec, with a wide variety of recording formats for the best selections such as Super Slow Motion (120/100 fps) and VFR (2 to 60 fps). With built-in Wi-Fi, direct connection to Ethernet, HLG*2 Gamma Mode and 13-stop V-Log for production of 4K HDR video content.
Optical Performance for Precise Shooting
The integrated lens offers a remarkably powerful, optical 20x zoom that ranges from 24.5mm wide-angle to 490mm tele. i.ZOOM achieves 24x at 4K resolution, and 32x at FHD. The 4-Drive Lens System drives the four lens groups independently, thus achieving the optical 20x zoom and compact body size.
High-speed, High-precision AF Including Face Detection AF/AE
Superior focusing speed, stability and tracking performance for both 4K and Full-HD is achieved thanks to Face Detection AF/AE together with the precise focus lens drive. Face Detection AF/AE provides precise focusing and sufficient exposure for subjects. In addition, subject tracking with color recognition can be activated by just touching the LCD panel enabling precise tracking.
5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ Enables Stable Image Acquisition
For both UHD and FHD modes, in addition to OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), Electronic Image Stabilization operates to detect and correct handshake in 5 axes, including rotational blurring. This provides strong correction under unstable conditions, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction on the drive section, achieving delicate correction even for a small-amplitude handshake. This produces beautiful images with suppressed handshake even at high, 20x optical zoom.
High-sensitivity 1.0-type (1.0-inch) 4K Sensor for Superb Image Quality
The 1.0-type (1.0-inch) MOS sensor (approximately 15.03 effective megapixels) is capable of recording at UHD (3840 x 2160) without cropping and offers a moderate depth of field and an excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity. The file format can be selected from versatile and easy-to-use MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and AVCHD.
High-Quality Recording with Versatile Modes
The camcorders support a variety of bit rates and formats to meet professional needs. Internal recording of UHD up to 29.98p/25p and FHD up to 59.94p/50p in 4:2:2 10-bit high quality is now possible. When set for 10-bit recording, the camcorder delivers 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, enabling high image quality capture with an external recorder. New, highly efficient HEVC recording (LongGOP/10-bit 4:2:0/MOV) is also supported for recording 59.94p at a high bit rate of 200 Mbps, in addition to MOV, MP4, and AVCHD file formats.
HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) /V-log for HDR Video Production
HDR is an image display technology that provides a wider brightness range (dynamic range) than conventional SDR. HDR renders more natural and true-to-life images without compromising the gradation in bright image areas or dark image areas. The HC-X2 is equipped with HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) shooting mode, one of the standards related to HDR. In addition, it supports V-Log, which is also available on the Panasonic VARICAM cinema camera and LUMIX mirrorless cameras, providing 13 stops of latitude. When combined with a V-log compatible camera, color grading provides a uniform image in post-production.
