Catch the scenes you want with easy zooming and excellent quality. Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie technology to get clear shots even with backlighting. And take sub camera shots with a smartphone.
Premium picture quality with advanced lens, sensor and engine
The lens system drives each of four lens groups separately, reducing the drive ranges to result in high image quality, high-powered zooming, and a compact camera body.
HDR movie clear shots with excellent detail in both bright and dark areas
By combining two images taken with different exposure times, the HDR Movie function suppresses blown highlights and blocked shadows for crisper, clearer videos. This is the world's first' consumer camcorder to feature the HDR Movie function. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent gradation.
Wireless twin camera
Using your smartphone with Wi-Fi operation as a sub camera, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. Since you are shooting with different cameras, you can use one at a distance, or at any angle you choose.
20x optical zoom with 4-drive lens system
By driving each of four lens groups separately, the drive ranges are reduced, resulting in high image quality, high- powered zooming, and a compact camera body. This keeps the body compact even with a 20x optical zoom.
BSI Sensor
The Back Side Illumination Sensor has a large effective area with 6.03M effective pixels, suppressing noise even when shooting in dimly lit places, such as indoor scenes or nightscapes. It achieves stunningly beautiful images even down to the tiniest details.
Crystal Engine
Panasonic's unique, high-speed engine lets you shoot and play smooth Slow Motion Video in Full HD. Its noise reduction function reduces noise for crisp, vibrantly colorful Full HD images.
Level shot function 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S. +
The Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images. The setting can be adjusted to one of three levels depending on the shooting conditions.
Full HD slow motion video
Records Full HD (1920x1080) at 120 fps. And the Intelligent Frame Creation of the Crystal Engine interpolates to an equivalent of 240 fps,' for smooth slow motion. Switches to slow motion while you touch the icon on the LCD screen during shooting.
