Shooting Angles, Image Quality, Mobility, Operating Ease – No Compromises in This Professional Handheld Model.
29.8mm Wide Angle
to 12x Zoom Lens
This high-powered zoom lens can be
used in all areas from news gathering to
image production field. It goes from 29.8
mm (35 mm equivalent) wide-angle to 12x
zoom. Panasonic’s unique Nano Surface
Coating minimizes ghosts and flaring, and
the high-speed F1.5 (at the widest angle)
enables extremely clear image rendering.
High-Sensitivity BSI Type
3MOS Sensors
Three (RGB) 1/4.7 type MOS image
sensors have an effective pixel count of
2,680,000 pixels. In addition to high BSI
(backside illumination) sensitivity and
excellent 3MOS color reproduction, 4x
dense pixel shifting technology achieves
high resolution. This lets you record high-
quality Full-HD (1920x1080) images even
in dim lighting. The image processing
circuit, which is tuned for professional
use, produces highly natural gradation
and detail.
Three Manual Rings —
Zoom, Focus, Iris
The lens barrel is equipped with manual
rings for focus, zoom and iris to enable
speedy and intuitive camera work.
5-Axis Hybrid Hand-Shake Correction
The AG-AC90A features 5-Axis Hybrid OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer/
hand-shake correction). This powerful image stabilizer combines the
advantages of both optical and electronic systems to ensure stable
handheld shooting.
Intelligent Zoom and Digital Zoom
Intelligent Zoom gives you seamless zooming up to 25x magnification
while minimizing decreases in resolution. A 2x/5x/10x Digital Zoom is
also featured. Combining the optical zoom and Intelligent Zoom, this
provides an ultra-telephoto range up to 250x.
Seven User Buttons
User buttons one to three are hardware buttons, and User buttons four
to seven are touch panel controls. Seven functions out of a total of
twelve (Push AF, Backlight Compensation, Spotlight Compensation,
Black Fade, White Fade, ATW, ATW Lock, Digital Zoom, Histogram
Display, Rec Check, Last Clip Delete, and Menu) can be allocated to
these buttons.
Focus Assist and Push AF
The Focus Assist (Focus in Red)
button shows when your subject is
in focus by outlining subject edges
in red on the LCD monitor. Push
AF activates the AF function while
in Manual mode with the press of
a button (allocated to an User
button). This provides handy support
for manual focusing.
Scene File Function for Advanced Image Quality Settings
The six preset scene settings allow immediate response to a variety of
shooting situations. The following settings can be freely changed and
saved over the preset values.
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher): Suppresses blocked shadows and
blown highlights by visually expanding the dynamic range. This function
can be assigned to the user button.
• 7 Mode Gamma: Allows selection from seven gamma curves: HD
NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B.PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/CINE-LIKE V.
• Other settings: H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and skin
tone detail, chroma level, chroma phase, color temp and master
pedestal, auto iris level, knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), matrix (NORM1/
NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE).
