Controls and Card Slots Grouped on One Side

All operation switches and volume controls are set on the left side of the camera. P2 card slots, which were set on the right side in previous models, have also been moved to the left side. Their logical horizontal arrangement makes it easy to insert and remove cards quickly.

Low Power Consumption — Only 19 W

By developing a new energy-efficient DSP and integrating the AVC-Intra codec circuitry with it, Panasonic significantly downsized the printed circuit board. This not only makes the AG-HPX370 series smaller and lighter, it also reduces power consumption. The new image sensor helps lower power consumption too. Together, these innovations reduce power use to only 19 W during recording. The lower battery consumption can mean greater mobility in the field.

High Image Quality Color Viewfinder and LCD

The AG-HPX370 series’s color EVF uses a 0.45-inch approx. 1,226,000 dots-equivalent (852 x 480 x 3[RGB]) LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) display panel. This newly developed system delivers bright, detailed, high-resolution images and a high response speed. The AG-HPX370 series’s LCD monitor is a 3.2-inch panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. With approx. 921,000 dots (1920 x 480), it boasts higher resolution than the LCDs in previous models.

Support Functions for Greater Convenience

White balance: Three values (A/B/Preset) of white balance with the auto tracking white function.

Mode check: Displays a list of the camera settings on the viewfinder and LCD monitor.
