•The displayed available space includes the management area, and so the space available for recording is smaller than this.

•Concerning the division of clips recorded on P2 cards

When using a P2 card of at least 8 GB in this camera, if the continuous recording time for a single session exceeds the time shown in the following table, recording will be automatically resumed as a different clip. When performing a thumbnail operation (display, delete, restore, copy, etc.) on clips using P2 cards, you can operate them as a single clip. When you are using non-linear editing software and a PC, for example, the clips are displayed individually.

AG-HVX200AP specifications

The Panasonic AG-HVX200AP is a highly regarded camcorder that has made a significant mark in the world of professional video production. Launched to cater to the demands of filmmakers and videographers, this camera combines versatility, portability, and high-quality imaging capabilities.

One of the standout features of the AG-HVX200AP is its ability to record video in both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) formats. This flexibility allows users to choose the appropriate quality based on their project requirements. Utilizing the DVCPRO HD codec, this camcorder delivers stunning resolution and clarity, making it ideal for a variety of shooting environments, from documentaries to commercials.

The camera features a 1/3-inch three-CCD image sensor, which plays a crucial role in delivering exceptional color reproduction and image quality. Each CCD sensor captures color information independently, resulting in a more vibrant and true-to-life image. This, combined with a native resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, ensures that the AG-HVX200AP produces images that are sharp and detailed, suitable for even the most discerning audiences.

Another key technology incorporated into the AG-HVX200AP is its variable frame rate (VFR) capability, which allows filmmakers to shoot at different frame rates, including slow motion and fast-motion effects. This feature enables creative storytelling techniques and adds a unique flair to the final product.

The AG-HVX200AP also boasts an ergonomic design, making it easy to handle during extended shooting sessions. Its lightweight body and well-placed controls enhance usability, allowing operators to focus on their craft rather than fumbling with equipment. The camera comes equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens, providing excellent versatility in framing shots without losing image quality.

Connectivity options are another highlight of the AG-HVX200AP. With multiple outputs, including firewire and video component, users can easily integrate the camera into various workflows, from live productions to post-production editing.

In conclusion, the Panasonic AG-HVX200AP is a powerful tool for professionals who seek high-quality video production. Its combination of advanced imaging technologies, flexible recording options, and user-friendly design makes it a compelling choice for anyone in the filmmaking industry. Whether for independent films, corporate videos, or event coverage, the AG-HVX200AP delivers outstanding performance that filmmakers can rely on.
