Description:
Panasonic has expanded its professional AVCCAM line with the introduction of a
more compact, lighter handheld camcorder – the AG-HMC40. Weighing less than
2.2 pounds, the new AVCCAM camcorder is packed with an impressive range of
professional features including full HD 3MOS imagers, high-resolution 10.6-
megapixal still photo capture, 12X optical zoom and high-quality, solid-state
AVCHD recording on widely-available SD cards.
The HMC40 is an AVCHD format based camcorder that uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
high profile encoding, which provides a near doubling of bandwidth efficiency and
improved video performance over the older MPEG-2 compression formats (e.g.
HDV, DVD etc.). AVCHD high definition recordings look clean and crisp, even
during fast motion, reducing the image degradation or dropout associated with
older HDV recordings.
The HMC40 features a full resolution 2-megapixel, 1/4.1-inch 3MOS imager that
produces stunning 1920x1080 HD images with high sensitivity. The camera
captures still images with 10.6-megapixel resolution directly onto the SD card as a
JPEG image. The handheld offers a 12X optical zoom (includes 2X, 5X, 10X) and
professional image functions like Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) that helps
compensate for wide variations in lighting, and a Cine-Like Gamma mode which
gives recordings a more film-like aesthetic.
General Specifications
The HD camcorder records in all four professional AVCCAM recording modes,
including the high-quality PH mode (average 21 Mbps/Max 24Mbps), the HA mode
(approx.17 Mbps), the HG mode (approx.13 Mbps) and the extended recording HE
mode (approx. 6 Mbps). It supports 1080/59.94i (in all modes) and 1080/29.97p,
1080/23.98p native, 720/59.94p, 720/20.97p, and 720/23.98p native (in PH mode
only).
Using just one 32GB SDHC memory card, a user can record three hours of full
resolution 1920x1080 video and audio in PH mode, four hours at HA mode and 5.3
hours at HG mode. In the HE mode, the camera can record up to 12 hours of
1440x1080 HD content – all on a single 32GB SDHC card.
