Shooting Angles, Image Quality, Mobility, Operating Ease – No Compromises in This

29.8mm Wide Angle to 12x Zoom Lens

This high-powered zoom lens can be used in all areas from news gathering to image production field. It goes from 29.8

mm(35 mm equivalent) wide-angle to 12x zoom. Panasonic’s unique Nano Surface Coating minimizes ghosts and flaring, and the high-speed F1.5 (at the widest angle) enables extremely clear image rendering.

High-Sensitivity BSI Type 3MOS Sensors

Three (RGB) 1/4.7 type MOS image sensors have an effective pixel count of 2,680,000 pixels. In addition to high BSI (backside illumination) sensitivity and excellent 3MOS color reproduction, 4x dense pixel shifting technology achieves high resolution. This lets you record high- quality Full-HD (1920x1080) images even in dim lighting. The image processing circuit, which is tuned for professional use, produces highly natural gradation and detail.

Three Manual Rings —

Zoom, Focus, Iris

The lens barrel is equipped with manual rings for focus, zoom and iris to enable speedy and intuitive camera work.

Focus Assist and Push AF

The Focus Assist (Focus in Red) button shows when your subject is in focus by outlining subject edges in red on the LCD monitor. Push AF activates the AF function while in Manual mode with the press of

a button (allocated to an UserFocus Assist button). This provides handy support

for manual focusing.

Scene File Function for Advanced Image Quality Settings

The six preset scene settings allow immediate response to a variety of shooting situations. The following settings can be freely changed and saved over the preset values.

DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights by visually expanding the dynamic range. This function can be assigned to the user button.

7 Mode Gamma: Allows selection from seven gamma curves: HD NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B.PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/CINE-LIKE V.

Other settings: H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and skin tone detail, chroma level, chroma phase, color temp and master pedestal, auto iris level, knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), matrix (NORM1/ NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE).

Professional Camera Functions

• ZEBRA Button: Displays two zebra patterns (blown highlight

warning) and a marker (brightness level percentage).

• BARS Button: Outputs a color bar image and test tone audio.

• DISP/MODE CHK Button: Shows mode settings at a glance.

• Auto Slow Shutter: Allows the shutter to automatically slow down to

brighten dark scenes.

5-Axis Hybrid Hand-Shake Correction

The AG-AC90A features 5-Axis Hybrid OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer/ hand-shake correction). This powerful image stabilizer combines the advantages of both optical and electronic systems to ensure stable handheld shooting.

Intelligent Zoom and Digital Zoom

Intelligent Zoom gives you seamless zooming up to 25x magnification while minimizing decreases in resolution. A 2x/5x/10x Digital Zoom is also featured. Combining the optical zoom and Intelligent Zoom, this provides an ultra-telephoto range up to 250x.

Seven User Buttons

User buttons one to three are hardware buttons, and User buttons four to seven are touch panel controls. Seven functions out of a total of twelve (Push AF, Backlight Compensation, Spotlight Compensation, Black Fade, White Fade, ATW, ATW Lock, Digital Zoom, Histogram Display, Rec Check, Last Clip Delete, and Menu) can be allocated to these buttons.

High-Speed Shutter: Adjusts up to a maximum speed of 1/2000 sec.

• White Balance: Allows the selection from ATW, P3.2K, P5.6K or VAR

(variable between P2.4K and P9.9K). Two manual settings (A/B) can be

stored in memory.

• iA Mode: The AG-AC90A detects the shooting conditions and

automatically switches to the optimal iA mode (Portrait, Landscape,

Spotlight, Low Light, Normal).

Displays various safety zone markers and a center marker.

Professional AVCHD Support for a Variety of Modes

PS Mode: Records Full-HD progressive (1080/50p) images compliant with the AVCHD Progressive standard.

PH Mode: This AVCCAM professional mode supports 1920x1080 full-pixel images and switchable HD formats of 1080/60i, 30p and 24p.

HE/HA Mode: Records 1080/60i images for an extended rec-time.

PM Mode: Records 1280 x 720 pixel progressive HD images (720/60p). Ideal for usage of in sports coaching.

SA Mode: Records SD (480/60i) with high image quality.

CS Mode: Features a low rate of 3.5 Mbps for swift uploading to a cloud server. Records 720 x 480-pixel SD (480/60i) images.
