High Image Quality and Advanced Functions in an AVCCAM Camcorder

with Easy Mobility and Solid- State Reliability

The powerful new tapeless AG-HMC150 series joins the Panasonic line of professional HD camcorders. This new AVCCAM camcorder features highly-acclaimed functions for the popular AG-DVX100 Series of DV-tape based camcorders to tapeless HD recording. Using the cost-saving AVCHD format to record onto SDHC or SD Memory Card media, the AG-HMC150 series produces exceptional images and responds to creative production needs.

It also features a 28mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle lens — widest in a professional camera of this class — and a newly developed 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCD. It further enhances image quality by adding a higher-quality PH mode to the clean, extended-time recording abilities of the AVCHD format. The AG-HMC150 series handles full-pixel (1920 x 1080/1280 x 720) 25p progressive recording, and includes cinelike gamma and other versatile functions to meet

the special needs of creative image production.
