AU-EVA1 Cinema Camera with Newly Developed 5.7K Super 35mm MOS Sensor

November 1, 2017 the shipment has begun for the compact, EF mount, AU-EVA1 camera for cinema production use. A free firmware upgrade will also be available for the AU-EVA1 in March 2018 to support 422 ALL-I 400Mbps/200Mbps/100Mbps codec recording and 5.7K RAW output.

The AU-EVA1 features a newly developed 5.7K Super 35 mm MOS sensor for high picture quality. 4K/2K 10-bit 4:2:2 images can be recorded onto SDXC memory cards (in Double SD Card Slots). Other technologies inherited from Panasonic's VariCam models include a V-Log gamma, wide color V-Gamut with wide dynamic range, dual native ISO, and 4K60p/2K240p high-quality, high-frame-rate images. An IR cut filter ON/OFF mechanism provides the ability to shoot fantasy-like IR (infrared ray) images in Cinematography mode.

The new design has a lightweight 2.65 lbs (1.2 kg) (excluding accessories), compact body, detachable handle and grip, and flexible LCD monitor for a variety of new shooting styles, including shooting from a drone or gimbal. Panasonic will continue contributing to video production by developing equipment and systems that respond to the needs of the 4K production industry, which is expanding globally. The company will also contribute by supporting high-quality image content as well as efficient production operation.
