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

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