Basic camera positioning

1Hold the unit with both hands.

2Put your hand through the grip belt.

3It is convenient to use the Recording button icon A when holding the unit at waist level.

When recording, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another person or object.

When you are outdoors, record pictures with the sunlight behind you. If the subject is backlit, it will become dark in the recording.

Keep your arms near your body and separate your legs for better balance.

Do not cover the microphones with your hand etc.

Basic motion picture recording

The unit should normally be held steady when recording.

If you move the unit when recording, do so slowly, maintaining a constant speed.

The zoom operation is useful for recording subjects you cannot get close to, but overuse of zoom in and zoom out can make the resulting motion picture less enjoyable to watch.

Recording Yourself

Rotate the LCD monitor towards the lens side.

≥ The image is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror image. (However the image recorded is the same as a normal recording.)

≥ Only some indications will appear on the screen. When appears, return the direction of the LCD monitor to normal position and check the warning/alarm indication. (l 196)

HC-W850, HC-V750 specifications

The Panasonic HC-V750 and HC-W850 are advanced camcorders designed to provide enthusiasts and casual filmmakers with high-quality video recording capabilities. Both models boast impressive features that cater to a range of filming needs, making them ideal for capturing life’s memorable moments.

The Panasonic HC-V750 is renowned for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 1/2.3-inch BSI (Back Side Illuminated) sensor. This technology significantly improves low-light performance, allowing users to capture clear and vibrant footage even in challenging lighting conditions. With a 20x optical zoom lens, the HC-V750 provides versatility in framing shots, enabling users to shoot both wide-angle scenes and distant subjects with ease. The integrated hybrid image stabilization system further ensures smooth footage by compensating for camera shake, which is especially beneficial during handheld recording.

On the other hand, the Panasonic HC-W850 enhances the recording experience with its unique dual camera feature. This allows users to capture two perspectives simultaneously – one from the main camcorder and another from a small lens mounted on the side. This functionality facilitates creative storytelling, enabling filmmakers to include different angles and contexts within a single shot. The HC-W850 also shares the same advanced BSI sensor and 20x optical zoom as the HC-V750, ensuring high-quality imagery.

Both models support recording in full HD (1920x1080) with various frame rates, including 60p, which provides smooth motion and improved detail during fast-paced scenes. The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows for easy sharing and remote control via smartphones or tablets, making it convenient for users to manage their recordings.

The user interface of these camcorders is intuitive, featuring a 3-inch touchscreen LCD that simplifies navigation through settings and playback. Additionally, the HC-V750 and HC-W850 come equipped with various scene modes and creative filters, giving users the freedom to experiment with their visual style and achieve professional-looking results.

In conclusion, the Panasonic HC-V750 and HC-W850 offer a powerful combination of innovative features and robust performance.
