Wide-Angle, High-
Magnification 16x Zoom Lens
The AG-DVC62's 16x optical zoom lens answers a broad range of shooting needs, delivering superb results from 39.5mm wide angle all the way to 632mm telephoto (both 35mm lens equivalents). In wide-angle performance — critical in broadcast and other professional
applications — this lens is tops in its class. This new 16x optical zoom lens system uses low-dispersion glass and aspherical lenses to reduce colour aberration and boost resolution. Use of a special multi- coating process dramatically reduces flare and ghosts. The result: sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered pictures with vivid colours, delicate nuances, and exceptional shading.
Optical Image Stabilizer Compensates for Hand Shaking
The AG-DVC62's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) compensates for hand shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyro sensor detects hand-shake and sends signals to a linear motor, which adjusts the lens to compensate. Because this process takes place prior to the CCD image capture (rather than in the downstream electronic processing), it virtually eliminates any effect of hand-shake on resolution and screen angle. The OIS can also be helpful when zooming or shooting in dim lighting.

1/4-Inch, 470,000-Pixel 3CCD Image System: High Sensitivity, Low Noise
To assure a level of picture quality suitable for professionals,
the AG-DVC62 uses a 3CCD image system that delivers the highest sensitivity in its class. Its high S/N ratio and extremely low noise (in darker areas of a picture) combines with high sensitivity to deliver excellent image quality even when shooting indoors under dim
lighting. When shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights, this 3CCD system offers low smear.
12-bit A/D and RGB Gamma Processor
The AG-DVC62 features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit processing as broadcast-quality camera-recorders. This, combined with an RGB gamma processor that uses Panasonic's unique gamma curve function, helps assure high-image-quality processing. In fact,
the AG-DVC62's A/D converter
and RGB gamma processor are the same ones used in our popular AG-DVX100A, which has won acclaim as the industry's highest image quality DV camera.

Movie Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC62 can capture and reproduce images that are strikingly similar in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like gamma curve and a 25-fps frame recording function that electronically interpolates interlaced images to create frames with no time differences between fields.* Settings for this mode are preset in the Movie-Like scene file.
*The resulting images are not the same as native progressive images recorded with a progressive CCD.

High-Sensitivity Slow Shutter
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more.
The accumulation method provides bright-colour images with less noise than those
captured using conventionalGain Up Image gain-up, so you get the higher
sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination. The slow shutter
function can also be used to obtain movie-like effects.
16:9 Wide Recording
The aspect ratio can be set to either 4:3 or 16:9 to accommodate wide-image recording. In 16:9 recording, you can select either letterbox or squeeze mode,
giving you more possibilities in downstream editing
and playback. | 4:3 |
