Professional Tuning for Superb Color Reproduction
Color reproduction with features like color matrix, chroma gain
and gamma curve creates the same look as that achieved by
other Panasonic professional models. These features combine to
produce the lifelike images that professionals demand.
Auto/Manual Selector
Auto mode provides quick and easy shooting, while manual
mode lets you adjust the white balance, brightness (IRIS and gain
up to +18 dB) and shutter speed (1/60 to 1/8000 second).
Manual focusing is also possible by setting the selector to the
Focus position.
Focus Assist
In manual focus mode, the MF Assist function enlarges the
image at the center of the frame for easier focusing.
The AG-HMC70 also has a one-push auto function. Simply press
the Push Auto button to temporarily activate the AF system for
quick focusing.
Guidelines (Markers)
The LCD and viewfinder can display three types (horizontal,
grid, 4:3) of guidelines. The horizontal and grid guidelines
enable easy confirmation of camera tilt for stable framing. The
4:3 guidelines let you check images as they will display in
Standard Definition (SD) format.
Other Shooting Functions
•2.1-megapixel still image recording lets you take stills while
shooting video.
•Two-step selection of maximum 30x or 700x digital zoom.
•Black fade or white fade selectable for fade-in/out.
•Zebra pattern (white washout warning) on the LCD monitor
and viewfinder.
•Five scene modes (Sports, Portrait, Low Light, Spot Light and
Surf & Snow) speed up shooting under various situations.
Small, Lightweight and
Reliable SD/SDHC Card
The AG-HMC70 records onto an SD/SDHC
card. Because there is no motor to drive the
recording media, the AG-HMC70 starts recording immediately
with no need for cueing. The SD/SDHC card also resists the
effects of dust particles, temperature changes, and impacts, and
is equally unaffected by condensation, dropout, and head
clogging. This solid-state recording media contributes to the
AG-HMC70's silent operation, compact size, and light weight.
AVCHD Format for High-Quality, Efficient HD Recording
The AG-HMC70 uses the AVCHD format for 8-bit 4:2:0 digital
component recording of high-resolution 1080i (1440 x 1080)
HD video. It complies with the latest H.264 motion image
compression standard, which forms the basis of the AVC-Intra
codec used by P2 HD broadcast systems, and employs the High
Profile standard to improve compression efficiency. Featuring
twice the compression efficiency of HDV (MPEG-2),
the AG-HMC70 achieves extended HD recording.
Up to 360 Minutes* of HD Recording
The high compression efficiency of the AVCHD format makes it
possible to record up to 360 minutes* of HD video onto a single
SDHC card.
* When recording in HE mode using a 16GB SDHC card.
Fast Scene Searches with Thumbnail View
Image data is recorded as a file for each scene.
Thumbnail images and file
information are
automatically attached to
each file to enable smooth,
easy confirmation and
deletion of files displayed
on the LCD monitor.
AVCHD Files Transfer Directly to IT Systems
Unlike tape, AVCHD files require no digitizing and can be
directly accessed by a PC (Windows/Macintosh). This makes it
easier to use motion images in new IT applications, like content
production, Internet distribution and source material archiving.
*1: An SDHC card reader is required if the SDHC card is not recognized by the PC.
*2: AVCHD-compatible software is required. The Minimum System Requirements for using the software
must also be satisfied.
