The new palm camcorder - AG-AC30

Panasonic to launch new palm camcorder

DUBAI, July 12, 2016

Panasonic has annoucned plans to launch a new palm camcorder - AG-AC30 - in the Middle East and Africa region, aimed at semi-professional event videographers.

The new model, to be available from September onwards, is a one-chip Full-HD camcorder, designed and built in Japan, which includes an exceptional number of useful tools and features, which will help deliver professional looking pictures in all environments.

The camcorder offers a newly designed lens capable of a very wide focal range (20x zoom and 29.5mm wide angle), three manual rings for focus, iris, and zoom and two-channel XLR audio inputs, said a statement from the company.

The compact camera is one of the lightest in its class, weighing just 1.5 kg and includes a powerful, integrated LED video light, capable of 300 lx at one metre, that supports shooting in dim light, such as night time wedding parties and ‘run and gun’ interviews, it added.

It has a new 1/3.1-type back side illumination (BSI) sensor, which is larger than the sensor on the current model and offers excellent resolution and superb image quality, said a statement.

It has a major new feature, the Level Shot, a function that automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images and complements the OIS for professional looking pictures.

The camcorder’s dual recording functionality can also ensure safe, secure, simultaneous recording so the user has instant fail safe backup, it added.

Masa Kitamura, general manager – broadcast division, PMMAF, said: “This is a compact camcorder that fully meets the on-site acquisition needs of professional videographers.”

“When the card in slot one becomes full, the camcorder automatically continues to record onto the card in slot two,” he said.

“In addition, the camcorder lets the user exchange cards while shooting. By sequentially exchanging recorded cards with blank ones, the AC30 achieves endless recording to capture extended events,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
