ULTRA USABILITYNew Design - Switches Match Like Those on
Shoulder-Type Models
The AJ-PX270 was designed for easy operation as an ENG camera. It
inherits the functions, switch layout and dials of shoulder-type camera
recorders. Users of professional shoulder-type camera recorders will be
able to take advantage of the
mobility of the AJ-PX270
immediately.
• Front Rec Button: The front
Rec button is positioned
immediately below. When a tripod
is used, this button allows smooth
recording starts after operating
the lens.
• Industry First* - Front Audio
Level Dials: This is the industry’s
first handheld camera recorder to
feature audio input level controls
(which can be allocated with ON/
OFF and CH) on the front side of
the unit. This allows quick
operation during recording.
• Industry First* - Triple Toggle
Switches: Three toggle switches -
DISP/MODE CHECK, GAIN and
WHITE BAL - are provided. They
are located at the same location
as on a shoulder-type model to
support operation during
recording.
• Audio Level Dials: Large
2-channel (switchable between
CH1/ and CH2) audio level dials.
* As of March 2014, according to a Panasonic
survey.
New Design — Separately Positioned
XLR Audio Input Terminals
The AJ-PX270 is equipped with
2-channel XLR mic/line audio
input terminals supporting a +48V
phantom power supply. They are
arranged on the front and rear
sides of the unit, just like on a
shoulder-type model. The front
mic terminal is located behind the
rear mic mounting section,
eliminating problems resulting
from catching protrusions on the
side panel. The rear external audio
terminals are located on the right side for comfortable holding of the
AJ-PX270 against the chest during recording, and also permit easy
connection and disconnection while holding the camera recorder in
shooting position.
Battery Replacement during Recording
The large-capacity battery is housed in the main body, and does not extend
beyond the rear panel. This ensures comfortable holding of the AJ-PX270
against the chest. When power is supplied to the DC power supply input
terminal using the AC adaptor, the battery can be changed while recording.
Handle with Multi-Stage Zoom Lever
The zoom lever located on the
upper part of the handle is also
provided with a multi-stage
variable zoom function. It provides
the same smooth zooming
operation from a super-low speed
as the zoom lever on the hand
grip, allowing smooth zooming
when shooting from a low angle or
using a tripod.
New Design Offering Enhanced Mobility and
Easy Operation
Even with its high-power zoom lens, the AJ-PX270 is compact and has a
low center of gravity. It remains stable during handheld shooting, and
provides excellent visibility and a wide field of view. The lens hood with a
built-in cover improves convenience and safety while moving. The
magnesium alloy diecast chassis is rugged and durable.
3G SDI Output and HDMI Output
• 3G SDI OUT: A 3-Gbps speed supports 1080/60p and 50p progressive full
frame image output. Can be set to HD SDI or down-converted SD SDI.
Allows Rec Start/Stop linked backup recording with a Panasonic recorder
equipped with SDI input.
• HDMI OUT: This terminal allows digital A/V
output to a wide range of devices such as an HD
monitor.
• Aspect Conversion: The aspect ratio can be selected from among Side
Crop, Letter Box, or Squeeze mode when down-converting and outputting
from the SDI OUT terminal.
