Panasonic HC-X1500 4K Professional Camcorder
HC-X1500
The industry's smallest and lightest* 4K 60p camcorder in a mobile compact body packs a remarkable optical performance and pro functions into this active handheld with no compromise in quality.
While excelling in mobility and portability, the compact body considers the weight balance of the advanced functions when shooting.
The lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom. i.ZOOM achieves 32x zoom with 4K resolution, and 48x zoom with FHD. (35mm camera equivalent}
Face Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out of focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also, by adding skin tone recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.
In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilisation, Electronic Image Stabilisation detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction in the drive section, especially
improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring.
Supports a high bit rate of 200 Mbps for 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MOV) codec, and 120/100fps* Super Slow-motion with 10-bit recording in FHD. * 59.94Hz: 120fps, 50Hz: 100fps
Records a 4:2:2 10-bit color profile of up to LongGOP UHD 29.97p/25p (150 Mbps), or FHD 59.94p/50p (100 Mbps) with SD cards. Outputs 10-bit UHD 59.94p/50p images via HDMI.
Versatile formats and bit rates are available. In addition to easy-to-edit MOV and MP4, 720p AVCHD 8-Mbps (PM) mode is included.
RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-compatible HD streaming enables direct connection and distribution of relays for concerts, sports events, and news flashes to Facebook, YouTube, etc.
Two Manual Rings are provided, one for focusing and the other for zoom or iris operation. The use of the Manual Rings is improved by using different-sized rings in the front and rear, so they can be distinguished by the fingers
ND filters are built into the lens to suppress the amount of incident light. The filters can be selected (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, or OFF) to match the shooting environment. This is convenient, for example, when you want to shoot at a slow shutter speed in bright daylight.
The Panasonic HC-X1500 4K Professional Camcorder comes with a full Australian warranty.
