ULTRA QUALITY

Newly Designed 22x Zoom Lens

The AJ-PX270 features a newly developed, high-performance, compact
zoom lens. Zooming from 28mm to 616mm (35mm equivalent), this 22x
zoom lens covers a wide field of view, from wide-angle to telephoto,
without the need for a conversion lens. Combining 18 lens elements in
12 groups, this advanced lens unit further adds a UHR (Ultra High
Refractive) glass element, a low dispersion element and aspherical lenses.
This newest optical technology provides superbly high resolution.
In addition, it is combined with our unique, Emmy awarded digital signal
processing technology called Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) to
minimize color bleeding in the surrounding image areas and to achieve rich
expression with finely rendered nuances and excellent shading.

Three Manual Rings and Ultra

Low-Speed Seesaw Zoom Levers

The AJ-PX270 has three manual rings: a
mechanical (cam-type) zoom ring, a focus ring
and an iris ring. The operating feel and rib
pattern of these rings are carefully designed to
make manual operation feel using an
interchangeable lens. The focus ring is knurled for
reliable fingertip control of delicate focusing.
The seesaw zoom levers (grip/handle) support
extra-slow zooming down to 180 seconds.

Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), Digital Zoom and ND Filter

• Hand-shake correction with the built-in optical image stabilizer (OIS).
• Equipped with a digital zoom function.*1 Magnification control can be
assigned to a user button for quick zooming to 2x, 5x or 10x. It provides a
telephoto capability of up to 220x in combination with the optical zoom.
• Built-in ND filter (OFF, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64).
*1: Flash Band Compensation will not operate while digital zooming.

High Sensitivity and Low Noise with

New 1/3-Type 3MOS Image Sensors

Newly developed 2.2 megapixel 1/3 type 3MOS
(RGB) image sensors offer full-pixel HD (1920 x
1080) resolution, F11 (59.94 Hz) or F12 (50 Hz)
sensitivity*2 and low noise. They also achieve
rich gradation and vibrant color reproduction.
*2: With [HIGH SENS.] mode

Image Adjustment Function from a New Menu

The AJ-PX270's camera signal
processing LSI enables
hue-adjustable 12 axis color
compensation for each color gamut,
independent 3 axis skin-tone color
compensation, and also has a
detailed image adjustment function.
The new image adjustment menu
brings you intuitive image control.
Setting Items: H detail, V detail, detail coring, skin tone detail, chroma level,
color temperature, master pedestal, knee, matrix, color correction, RB gain
control, chroma setting, black control, gamma, high color, white clip.

Professional Image Quality and Advanced Functions

• Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC): High-precision flash band
detection and compensation.
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown
highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.
• Gamma: Select from 7 mode gamma curves (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/
FILMLIKE 2/FILMLIKE 3/FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC).
• Three-position Gain Selector and +36dB Super Gain: The 3-position gain
selector can be assigned with gain levels selected from a range of –3 dB to
+18 dB to its L, M and H positions. The AJ-PX270 is also equipped with a
+24 dB/+30 dB/+36 dB Super Gain function to enable extra-high sensitivity
recording of scenes with subject luminance of as low as 0.02 lx.*3
• Electronic Shutter with Slow Shutter Capability: The shutter speed can
be set in seven steps between 1/60 and 1/2000 second (60i/60p mode).
It is also equipped with Slow and Synchro Scan (variable) mode.
The shutter opening angle (deg value) can be set with synchro scan mode.
• Shockless Auto White Balance: A smooth transition occurs when
switching White Balance modes. This is effective, for example, when
moving from outdoors to indoors.
*3: When set to F1.6, 18 dB gain, 1-second accumulation, [HIGH SENS.] mode

Variable Frame Rate Supporting 1080p

The Variable Frame Rate function (AVC-Intra100)*4 was inherited
from the Panasonic VariCam, which is widely used for producing
movies, TV series and TV commercials. Featuring a variable
frame rate of 1 to 60 fps, this function creates a wide range of
film-camera-like images, such as overcranking for slow-motion
and undercranking for quick-motion effects.
*4: Pre-Rec, Loop Rec, Interval Rec, One-Shot Rec, Dual Rec and One-Clip Rec cannot be used while
recording at the native variable frame rate.

Advanced Focus Assist Functions

A variety of focus assist functions support quick and accurate focusing in
manual focus mode.
• Turbo-Speed One-Push AF: Pressing the PUSH AUTO button enables
focusing in 0.5 seconds or less.*5
• Focus-in-Red Display: Emphasizes the image areas in focus by marking
the edges in red.
• Expand: Enlarges the center portion for increased visibility.
• Focus Bar: The meter graphically displays the focus level.
*5: The focusing time varies depending on the shooting conditions and subjects.
