Detailed explanation of Panasonic professional HD 4k camera (which model of Panasonic video recorder is better)

Equipped with 1 inch sensor and 24.5mm * wide-angle lens, it supports 20x optical zoom.

Panasonic officially released a professional-grade 4K camera equipped with 1 inch sensor, which not only meets the needs of professionals in performance, but also ensures the compactness and lightness of the body, which can bring great convenience to news, interviews and event shooting. Handheld cameras equipped with integrated lenses can quickly adapt to various shooting scenes, and their market demand is expected to remain stable and will not be occupied by digital SLR cameras and smart phones. Considering these factors, Panasonic has developed HC-X2 and HC-X20, and their video performance and scalability have been further upgraded.

HC-X2/X20 has excellent optical performance, including 20x optical zoom, universal 24.5mm wide-angle lens in UHD/FHD mode, 4K high-precision autofocus with face detection function, 5-axis hybrid optical anti-shake O.I.S, high-brightness LCD and so on.

In video recording, HC-X2/X20 supports 4: 2: 2 10 4K 30p/25p video recording, and has a brand-new and efficient HEVC coding. Users can choose the best shooting mode among various recording modes. Slow motion video and variable frame rate VFR video shooting can meet a wider range of video expression needs.

HC-X2/X20 is also equipped with many functions, such as picture synchronization between LCD and EVF viewfinder, three manual adjustment rings on the lens, dual-channel XLR audio input, nd filter, dual SD card slots, unlimited recording time, built-in Wi-Fi and so on. Meet the various needs of professional video production.

As a high-end model of the two new machines, HC -X2 is also equipped with HLG * gamma mode and 13 V-log, which can be used to make 4K HDR video. It is expected that the demand for such videos will continue to grow in the future. HC X2 also supports Ethernet terminal direct connection, SDI/HDMI synchronous output, and is equipped with high-definition live broadcast function, supporting various streaming media protocols.

HC-X20 can be used as a medium-sized news gathering and streaming media camera to establish a professional workflow, and HC-X20 can be used as a small camera for personal interviews and event shooting.

* 1 35mm camera

*2 HLG is a transfer function jointly developed by BBC and NHK. The Radio and Commercial Association approved it as ARIB STD-B67, and the International Telecommunication Union added it to ITU Rec. 2 100 suggestion.

Excellent optical performance for accurate shooting.

The camera's integrated lens can provide a powerful 20x optical zoom with a wide angle of 24.5mm * and a telephoto of 490mm *. I.Zoom supports zooming from telephoto end to 24x 4K or 32x FHD images. In a compact body, the four-drive lens system independently operates four lens groups to achieve 20 times optical zoom.

* Equivalent to 35mm camera.

High-speed and high-precision autofocus, including face detection autofocus/automatic exposure.

The camera is equipped with an excellent lens focusing motor, and the autofocus/autoexposure performance of face detection is excellent, which can provide ultra-fast focusing speed for 4K and full HD shooting, while ensuring focusing stability and excellent tracking performance. Face detection autofocus/autoexposure can achieve accurate focusing and sufficient exposure during shooting. In addition, users can use accurate color tracking function to realize object tracking just by touching the LCD panel.

5-axis hybrid operating system ensures stable image acquisition.

OIS and electronic image stabilization both support the detection and correction of five-axis camera shake, including tilt blur, in UHD and FHD modes. It can provide powerful camera shake compensation ability in unstable situations such as low-angle shooting and high-angle shooting. The spherical O.I.S system can greatly reduce the friction caused by driving, and even a small hand shake can be accurately corrected. Even under 20 times optical zoom, it can effectively suppress hand shake and shoot high-quality images.

1 inch high sensitivity 4K sensor can provide higher image quality.

1 inch MOS sensor can achieve uncut UHD shooting, provide appropriate depth of field effect, and achieve an excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity. Various file formats are available, including MOV, MP4 and AVCHD.

High-quality shooting supports multiple shooting modes.

In order to meet various professional needs, the camera supports various bit rates and shooting formats. Today, 4: 2: 2 10-bit high-definition recording can be realized, which supports at most UHD 29.98p/25p and FHD 59.94p/50p. When the recording is set to 10 bit, the camera supports 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10 bit HDMI output, so you can use an external camera for high-quality shooting. In addition, the camera also supports new efficient HEVC recording, which can shoot UHD 59.94p/50p video at a high bit rate of 200 Mbps.

HLG/ vertical logarithm supporting HDR video production

HDR is an image display technology, which provides a wider brightness range than traditional SDR. HDR can render a more natural and realistic image without affecting the layering of bright or dark areas of the image. We have equipped the HC X2 with the HLG shooting mode related to HDR. In addition, HC -X2 can support V-Log and provide 13 file tolerance, just like Panasonic VARICAM movie machine and Panasonic LUMIX series mirrorless cameras. After shooting with a camera compatible with V-log, the later color matching can provide a unified image.

Ultra-slow mode shooting, 4KVFR

Ultra-slow mode can shoot high-definition images of 120 fps/100 fps. HC-X2/X20 is also equipped with 4K VFR recording function, which can set the frame rate from 2 to 60/50fps *. Users can use technical effects such as slow motion and fast motion to generate creative and expressive videos.

* 1 The optional frame rate depends on the recording format.

The network has many functions to optimize the workflow.

The camera has a built-in Wi-Fi module, and Wi-Fi connection is only enabled in the camera. Users can also download HC ROP application through tablet or mobile phone to realize remote wireless remote control, which is used to adjust camera settings and lens parameters.

HC-X20 can be connected to Ethernet to ensure the stable operation of live broadcast. HC-X20 can also use USB Ethernet adapter to connect to wired LAN.

At the same time, full HD streaming media compatible with RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS can be directly used to broadcast concerts, sports events and breaking news through Facebook and YouTube. In addition, the camera now supports recording while broadcasting.

Other network functions:

USB connection can support playing streaming media files of 5G smartphones.

Excellent function and excellent design can help professional photography.

The resolution of 3.5-inch LCD is about 2.76 million dots, more than twice that of the previous generation *. Even in bright sunlight, it can provide higher definition, and the brightness is twice that of the previous generation. Anti-static touchpad can greatly improve the operation convenience when selecting menu items.

The 360,000-point tiltable viewfinder and LCD output can work together. While watching the image on EVF, you can also confirm the image being shot on LCD, which greatly improves the work efficiency. In addition, in order to support fast and accurate manual focusing, the camera is also equipped with focusing assistance functions, including expansion, peak and area modes. Users can also use commercial infrared light * to shoot in dark environment. There are three manual rings on the lens barrel for zooming, focusing and aperture adjustment. There are 14 user-defined buttons, of which 9 are on the body and 5 are on the LCD touch panel, and functions can be freely allocated according to individual needs.

The ND filter can be set to transparent, 1/4,116 or 1/64. The camera also provides a gain selector and an AWB selector to meet the needs of professionals. The camera can use the built-in battery and can work continuously for about 3 hours and 50 minutes /4 hours and 25 minutes.
