Panasonic HC-X1 Ultra HD 4K Professional Camcorder New

Panasonic HC-X1 Ultra HD 4K Professional Camcorder. Featuring a large 1" type 4K sensor, the HC-X1 is capable of recording video in DCI (***6 x ***0) as well as UHD (***0 x ***0) 4K resolutions. You can also record ***0p in VFR (variable frame rate) in *0 increments from 2 to *0 fps, as well as record HD video in a super-slow-motion mode at a frame rate up to **0 fps.

Whether producing event or ENG-style videos, or even a short film, the *0x optical zoom power of the lens starts from a wide *4mm equivalent FOV for shooting in tight spots or grabbing impressive establishing shots, and it extends out to **0mm-equivalent FOV for getting in tight on far-away subjects. At longer focal lengths, the 1"-type sensor facilitates background blur reminiscent of larger professional cinema cameras, enabling dramatic compositions without sacrificing versatility found in a compact, handheld form factor.

While 4K video formats may seem daunting, the HC-X1 manages to record them onto convenient SD cards (U3 rated or faster cards are required for video bit rates above **0 Mb/s) which are both small and robust. Two card slots are provided for increased flexibility. You can record to both cards simultaneously, either for backing up or recording high and low bit rate files, or enable relay recording to capture a single file that spans multiple cards for longer recording times.

Ergonomically, the HC-X1 features a familiar handheld camcorder body with plenty of customizable control s for quickly accessing essential functions. When handheld, the sharp OLED EVF is within easy reach. Alternatively, a 3.5 in touchscreen is offered for monitoring and menu control. Waveforms and scopes can be displayed to aid in exposure control. Atop the handgrip sits a large zoom rocker for precise zoom control. Lens functions can also be controlled manually using the three lens rings, one for focus, one for zoom, and one for iris. A ***0mAh battery for powering the HC-X1 is included, along with a charger, and a power supply for fixed-position operating.

High-Resolution Video Recording
The HC-X1 4K camcorder supports DCI 4K at *4p and UHD up to *0p. ***0p and **0p HD resolutions are also supported up to *0p in addition to **0 fps super slow-motion.
Advanced O.I.S.
With an expanded correction area, Advanced O.I.S. effectively reduces vibrations from hand-shake jitters to unstable shooting situations.
*-Axis Hybrid O.I.S.
In HD shooting modes, activate the *-Axis Hybrid O.I.S. for further stabilization. Combining the optical stabilization with electronic stabilization, detection and correction of vibration along 5 axes (pan, tilt, roll, horizontal, and vertical) becomes possible.
4K 1"-Type MOS Sensor
Balancing flexibility and creative depth-of-field control, the 4K 1"-Type MOS Sensor is ideal for run-and-gun filmmaking as well as ENG-style productions.
*-Drive Lens System
The HC-X1 comes complete with a *-Drive Lens System that simultaneously and independently drives 4 element groups inside the lens. Lens size and drive range for each of the 4 groups can be efficiently suppressed to optimize image quality and zoom power.
Leica Dicomar 4K Lens
Designed specifically for the HC-X1, this lens maintains sharp images throughout its *0x optical zoom range. The *4mm wide-angle setting on the lens (*5.4mm equivalent in *6:9 aspect-ratio modes) offers a quick solution for shooting in tight spaces without requiring a bulky adapter that might affect image quality.
*0x Optical Zoom
The optical *0X zoom lens covers the range from *4mm wide-angle to **0mm telephoto (*5mm film equivalent at 4K *4p). And the lens can quickly cover the entire zoom range, so you won't miss your shots.
Intelligent AF
Precise autofocus performance is achieved by moving the Micro Drive Focus Unit minutely and quickly. AF can customize by adjusting AF Speed, AF Sensitivity and AF Area to best accommodate the subject type or application.
VFR/HD Super-Slow Motion
VFR (variable frame rate) recording can be set in up to *0 steps from 2 to *0 fps. Furthermore, a super slow-motion effect can be achieved through high-speed recording in HD resolutions at **0 fps.
Choice of File Format and Bit Rate
Customize the recording to your specific workflow by choosing from the available file formats, MOV, MP4, or AVCHD (only available in HD and SD resolutions), and bit rates ranging from 5 Mb/s all the way to **0 Mb/s.
Multi-Format Recording
Using the two SD card slots simultaneously, you can record in a different format to each card. For example, one card can hold the master 4K file while the second card holds a lower bit rate HD proxy file for easy editing.
Relay Recording
With SD cards in both slots, relay recording enables you to achieve theoretically unlimited recording times, perfect for event videography or other unpredictable situations. When one card fills up, the recording will continue on the second card without interruption. After o
