PROFESSIONAL DESIGN AND INTERFACES

Shoulder-Mount Design

The AG-HMC70 series is compact and lightweight, yet features a large shoulder pad, hand grip and viewfinder for the same kind of shoulder-mounted operation as a broadcast camera.

The 3-point system keeps shooting stable even when zooming and panning.

Professional-Level Audio with

XLR Line/Mic In

The AG-HMC70 series comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone and with XLR-type audio input terminals (2 channels, mic/line switchable, +48V compatible) on the rear panel. You can switch audio channels 1 and 2 separately to either line or front mic input, which is especially useful when recording interviews or narration.

Pro-Type Analogue A/V Outputs

A host of outputs, including component HD/SD video output (BNC x 3), composite SD video output (BNC), and audio output (RCA x 2 channels), let you connect to an external monitor for viewing, video equipment for dubbing, and various other devices.

Large Viewfinder

The AG-HMC70 series viewfinder is as large as those offered on many broadcast cameras.

A slide mechanism lets you shift the viewfinder to the left or right for maximum comfort. You can also use the viewfinder and LCD monitor at the same time.

Recessed Trigger and Zoom Control on Upper Handle Grip

In addition to the lens grip, the upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop button and a lens zoom control. This design assures easy shooting even at low angles or when using a tripod. The zoom speed can be set to any of three speed levels.

This lets a Windows PC installed with the provided HD Writer Version 2.5 software to upload, copy, and write HD video files, as well as transfer them to AVCHD-compatible editing software for HD production.
