Panasonic Compact Camera Head for Memory Card Portable Recorder

Description

The Panasonic Compact Camera Head for Memory Card Portable Recorder was designed as a special option for the Panasonic Memory Card Portable Recorder. The recorder offers a dedicated interface for this camera, and the two connect over an optional cable that's available in different lengths. Compact and lightweight, the advanced Camera Head can be installed in hard-to-access places to provide a professional capture solution for the portable recorder.

The Camera Head records up to UHD 4K resolution at 29.97/23.98/25 fps, and it has a 20x optical zoom lens that covers a range from 29.5mm wide-angle to 612mm close-up shots, for various applications. Furthermore, it's packed with features such as stabilisation, colour correction, an optical ND filter, focus assist, stereo mic, and more.

Key Features:

Zoom

• 20x optical zoom: 29.5mm wide-angle to 612mm close-up angle
• Intelligent zoom (i.Zoom): Up to 30x in HD format / 22x in 4K (zooms in seamlessly from the optical telae-end)
• Digital zoom: 1.4x/2x/4x/6x/8x zoom without any change in brightness (optical 20x zoom + i.Zoom + digital zoom 8x in HD format enables zooming up to a maximum of 240x)

Stabilisation

• Optical image stabiliser (HD/4K): images are highly corrected even when the camera is unstable, such as when mounted on an arm
• Five-axis hybrid image stabiliser (HD): In HD mode, electronic image stabilisation is added to the optical image stabiliser (OIS) system to detect and correct motions on five axes, including rolling motion; this is effective when shooting while walking

Picture Adjustments

• 16-axis Independent colour correction: provides a separate effect to each of the 16 phases and saturation levels of video images
• Optical ND filter can be manually switched (Clear, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64); resolution degradation from closing down the iris is prevented, even in bright lighting
• Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights to produce improved gradation for each shade when dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene
• Gain/iris: The gain can be increased either with AUTO or 0–30 dB (in 1 dB units), plus super gain (33/36 dB); iris adjustment can also be adjusted independently from the gain
• White balance: AWB A, B (two-value memory) / P3200K / P5600K / ATW / VAR (2000–15000K)
• Image adjustments: Detail, V-Detail, Detail Coring, Skin Tone Detail, Colour Temperature, Chroma Level, Chroma Phase, Matrix (Norm/Cine-Like/Still-Like), Master Pedestal, Gamma (HD Norm/Cine-Like/Still-Like), Black Gamma, Knee, NR Control
