Overview

Preserve all of those precious moments in 4K

Description

Save Your Precious Moments in Everlasting 4K

Preserve all of those special moments in 4K and the Leica Dicomar lens. with 4K Cropping, you can track your children and correct hand-shake after shooting, to enjoy beautiful, Full-HD images.

Preserve Your Memories in All Their Beauty

With four times the resolution of Full-HD, this compact Panasonic camcorder records in 4K resolution. That means you'll have detailed, true-to-life scenes in any shooting situation.

In-Camera 4K Cropping

When zooming takes your subjects out of the frame or causes hand-shake, 4K Cropping solves the problem. Cutouts using post auto/manual tracking or post stabiliser with Full-HD quality from 4K images can be easily done using only the camera, entirely after shooting.

High-Quality Core Technologies

In addition to rendering crisp images, the remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading that LEICA lenses are renowned for, with minimised ghosting or flaring. And by increasing the read-out speed, the advanced BSI Sensor with approx. 8M effective pixels suppresses distortion for accurate images. The Crystal Engine 4K features a high-speed, large-scale integrated circuit to process the huge volume of 4K data quickly and accurately while reducing noise.

Cinema Like Effects

Professional effects
While shooting with Slow & Quick Video*, you can combine slow and quick motion for active scenes to achieve pro-like effects.

Dramatic touches
Normally difficult to accomplish manually, slow zooming is easy with Slow Zoom, which lets you express emotional shifts in your subjects.

Suspenseful scenes
Dolly Zoom* zooms in on the background only while maintaining the subject's size to express feelings such as confusion, distress or surprise.

Emotional masterpiece
With smooth Slow Motion Video*, you can turn everyday scenes into works of art.

  • Available only with MP4 1080/28M format.
