Panasonic HC-X20E video camera

Panasonic HC-X20E video camera

Equipped with a 1.0-type (1.0-inch) sensor, the X20 offers powerful support for event and other shooting applications. Its optical performance captures the subject reliably and offers the mobility that only a handheld camera with an integrated lens can provide.

Lens: The lens covers the range from 24.5mm wide angle to 490mm telephoto with 20x zoom. i.ZOOM achieves 24x zoom at 4K resolution and 32x zoom at FHD resolution.

Versatile storage: The HC-X20E supports a high bit rate of 200 Mb/s for 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC codec (LongGOP/10-bit 4:2:0/MOV). Super Slow-motion mode supports 10-bit recording in FHD at 120/100 frames per second and in 4K (UHD) VFR at 2-60 frames per second for over- and underhighlighted shots, enabling highly creative video expression.

Facial recognition: High-precision 4K Face Detection captures subjects accurately on the spot without focus problems or insufficient exposure. In addition, with the addition of colour detection, subjects are tracked without interruption as the face moves to either side.

5-axle HYBRID O.I.S: In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to the optical image stabilizer, the electronic image stabilizer detects and corrects hand vibration in 5-axis mode. Optical image stabilizer with ball The system reduces friction in the drive unit, which improves the correction of low-amplitude blur in particular.

4:2:2 10-bit internal recording: Records 4:2:2 10-bit colour profile up to LongGOP UHD 29.97p/25p (150 Mb/s) or FHD 59.94p/50p (100 Mb/s) with SD cards. Transmits 10-bit UHD 59.94p/50p images via HDMI.

HD stripping: RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-compatible HD streaming allows you to connect live and share broadcasts of concerts, sporting events and news to Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Wireless control: The Wi-Fi module is built-in, so only the body Wi-Fi connection is possible. With a tablet or smartphone app HC ROP, wireless camera settings and lens control are also possible.

Triple manual tyres: The X20 has triple manual rings on the lens body for focus, zoom and dimmer control. These manual functions ensure professional operation and allow for fast and intuitive camera operation.

Built-in grey filter: The grey filters are built directly into the lens, and attenuate the amount of light coming in. The filters can be selected (clear, 1/4, 1/16 or 1/64) according to the shooting environment. This is useful, for example, when you want to shoot at slow shutter speeds in bright daylight.
