High-quality Recording
1/2.5-type (1/2.5-inch) Sensor
Increasing the readout speed has made it possible to handle large-volume 4K data at a fast 60 fps. This suppresses the rolling shutter distortion that often occurs when shooting moving subjects.
LEICA Dicomar Lens
This high-performance lens has passed the stringent inspection standards of Leica Camera AG for aspects such as resolution and contrast.
In addition to rendering sharp, crisp images, it produces the distinctive nuances and subtle shading that Leica lenses are renowned for.
Wide 25mm* and Optical 24x Zoom Lens
The lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom achieved by a 4-Drive Lens System.
- * 35mm camera equivalent.
i.ZOOM 32x (UHD) / 48x (FHD)
4K High-Precision AF
An image sensor with 60fps readout and a precise focus lens drive enable superior focusing speed, stability and tracking performance for both 4K and FHD. Complex 4K focusing is also automated for comfortable framing of stunning 4K shots.
Face Detection AF/AE Using Color
Face Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out-of-focus problems and insufficient exposure.
Also, by adding color recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.
5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S. (UHD/FHD)
In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. This provides strong correction under unstable conditions, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting.
Ball O.I.S. System
This system reduces friction on the drive section, achieving delicate correction even for small-amplitude handshake.
O.I.S. Lens Unit
ND Filter
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. Also, when opening the aperture, you can attain high resolution and a shallow depth of field.

ND Filter 1/64
Heat-Dispersing Design
A new ultrathin fan disperses heat in the camcorder with integrated lens and 4K 60p recording. It is the industry's smallest and lightest unit with low power consumption.
Venus Engine
The Venus Engine, which contains technologies accumulated with LUMIX, is newly incorporated in these camcorders. This enables 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording with maximum 29.97p in UHD, and maximum 59.94p in FHD.
HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit Recording
Equipped with new, highly efficient codec HEVC recording.
High-bit rate recording with LongGOP 200M (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MOV) and LongGOP 100M (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MP4) is possible.

- Pre Rec
This function constantly caches approximately 10 seconds of video and audio data in AVCHD format and FHD MOV/MP4 format, approximately 5 seconds in UHD MOV/MP4 format or approximately 3 seconds in P2* format, prior to Rec Start, so the data can be recovered in case there is a delay in pressing Rec Start. - Interval Rec
Records intermittently based on a set interval time of 8 patterns, from 1 second to 10 minutes. - Time Stamp
The date and time can be stamped onto recorded images.
- * AG-CX10 only

Wireless Control from a Tablet or Smartphone
Use wireless remote control with a tablet/smartphone app HC ROP (downloadable for free from the App Store or Google Play).*1 In addition to zoom and focus lens control, the app enables remote control of various other functions, including camera setting, picture quality adjustment, REC start/stop and menu setting. What’s more, the app can be used to select the camera to control from up to eight cameras.*2
Wired Remote
Equipped with a REMOTE terminal (2.5-mm super mini jack) for remote operation of focus, zoom, REC start/stop, etc.
- * A wired remote controller (commercially available) is required.
FHD Live Streaming
RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-compatible FHD streaming enables direct connection and distribution of relays for concerts, sports events, and news flashes to Facebook, YouTube, etc. While streaming, recording (with modes below FHD) onto SD cards in the camera is also possible.
3G-SDI Output
The 3G-SDI output terminal (BNC connector, 5CFV) can be used to transmit FHD 1080/60p, 1080/50p signals through a coaxial cable over a distance of up to 100 m. Panasonic recorders equipped with SDI input can be linked to the Rec Start/Stop function of the AG-CX10/HC-X2000.
