24p Advance Mode — For 24p Non-Linear Editing

In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted (24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format. The tape can then be played back or edited using an ordinary DV system. True 24p editing can be achieved by uploading 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted images via an IEEE1394 DV interface to a compatible non-linear editing system.* The 24p Advance Mode allows 60i/24p conversion with minimal image degradation.

*Systems compatible with 24p Advance Mode (as of July 2003): •Apple Power Mac G4/G5 and Final Cut Pro 4. •Avid Xpress Pro.

Improved Color Reproduction and Advanced Image Adjustments Built-In

•Optimized color separation optics help provide true-to-life colors •Matrix setting with new "Enriched" mode for richer colors •Adjustable V detail level (edge correction in vertical direction), H/V

detail balance, and detail coring (detail noise removal) •Knee point (luminance compression) settings –

Camera-Recorder specifications

Panasonic has long been a leader in the field of camera technology, and its range of camera-recorders continues to uphold this tradition. The latest models in this lineup are engineered to meet the demanding needs of both professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features.

One of the standout features of Panasonic camera-recorders is their 4K recording capability. With the ability to capture images at a resolution of up to 3840 x 2160, these devices ensure unparalleled clarity and detail in every shot. Whether filming a wedding, a documentary, or a corporate event, the high-resolution output is a game changer. Many models also support HDR (High Dynamic Range) recording, enhancing the dynamic range and providing richer color quality that allows each frame to come to life.

Another notable feature is the advanced lens technology. Panasonic collaborates with top lens manufacturers to provide high-quality optics that deliver exceptional performance. The incorporation of Leica lens technology, available in select models, adds a layer of prestige and precision, making it easier to achieve professional-grade results. Moreover, users can benefit from the versatility of interchangeable lens systems, allowing filmmakers and photographers the flexibility to choose the best lens for their particular needs.

Stabilization technology is also a highlight of Panasonic camera-recorders. With built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) and advanced electronic stabilization features, users can expect smooth footage, whether shooting handheld or in dynamic environments. This is crucial for capturing action shots or scenes while on the move, as it significantly reduces the chances of shaky footage.

Audio quality is another focus area, with professional-grade audio inputs and recording capabilities built into many models. Users can connect external microphones directly, take advantage of XLR inputs, and utilize advanced audio monitoring tools to ensure that every sound is captured clearly and crisply.

Panasonic also emphasizes usability in its camera-recorders, featuring intuitive touch screens, customizable menus, and robust networking options for easy sharing and live streaming. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow users to control their camera remotely and transfer files effortlessly.

Durability is a characteristic that often sets Panasonic apart, with many of its camera-recorders designed to withstand harsh conditions. Dustproof, splash-proof, and freeze-resistant bodies ensure that filmmakers can work confidently in a range of environments.

In summary, Panasonic camera-recorders are a superb choice for those seeking a combination of advanced technology, high-quality optics, and user-friendly features. Whether for professional or personal use, they provide a reliable solution for capturing life's most important moments in stunning detail.
