Panasonic AG-UX90 4K/HD Professional Camcorder Starter PKG 1

• ThePanasonic AG-UX90 4K/HD Professional Camcorderrecords UHD 4K at up to 30p, and FHD up to 60p in variable frame mode. The camera supports 59.94, which is analogous to NTSC, making the camera compatible with US broadcast standards. Featuring an integrated 15x optical zoom lens and a 1" type sensor, UHD, and HD in MOV, MP4. The camera is also capable of recording HD in the AVCHD format.
  
  The AG-UX90 offers gamma settings for eight different scenarios, and manual control rings for iris, zoom, and focus. To monitor the status of all settings, and to perform critical focusing functions, the camcorder features both a high-quality 3.5" LCD touch screen and a full-color LCoS 0.24" viewfinder with 1,560,000 dots of resolution. It incorporates two SD slots that allow for simultaneous recording in UHD and HD. You can also choose relay recording, which allows the recording to shift from one card slot to the other as the card fills up.

  Panasonic Optical Technology

  The integrated Leica Dicomar 15x zoom lens was designed specifically for professional HD video production and features a 24.5mm equivalent focal length on the wide end of the zoom when recording FHD for a 24.5-367.5mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range and a 35.4 to 531mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range when shooting in UHD. The lens combines four lens groups and incorporates Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and when shooting in HD it supports 5-Axis Hybrid image stabilization.

  Digital Zoom

  The AG-UX90 is equipped with 2x, 5x, and 10x digital zoom. Using the 20x optical zoom and digital zoom together yields a 25x zoom factor.

  Manual Control Rings

  Three manual rings, mechanical (cam-driven) zoom, focus, and iris, allow you to operate as if you've got an interchangeable-lens camcorder, able to adjust either focus, zoom, or iris directly without having to select a control surface.

  Intelligent Auto Focus

  Features high-speed focusing, high-precision focus tracking, and high-focusing stability.

  Customizable Auto Focus

  You can adjust the AF speed, sensitivity and area width to fine tune the AF functionality to your tastes or the needs of the shot. The speed can be set from 1 to 7, the higher the number the faster the AF. The sensitivity likewise can be adjusted in steps from 1 to 10, with the higher value corresponding to being able to track faster-moving subjects. The adjustable area width can be adjusted to fine tune the auto focus selection.

  Manual Focus

  To assist you in setting and confirming focus, the following features are included:

  • Focus Assist (Expand and Peaking) - You can select from enlarging a part of the image to check the focus, or engaging focus peaking, which highlights the sharpest part of the image in a solid color. You can select to engage either or both functions simultaneously.
  • One-Push AF - Temporarily activates AF when you are in manual focus mode, when you press the Push AF button.
  • Manual Focus Assist - For quick and accurate focus, this mode fine tunes the focus adjustments you make using the focus ring.
  • Focus Transition - Allows you to set up to three preset focus position. A single touch will shift the focus from one of the presets to the another. You can set how long each transition takes from 2 to 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 90 seconds. You can also set the transition to delay 0, 5, or 10 seconds from when you initiate it.
  • Area Functions - Enables you to touch the LCD screen and have the camera adjust focus to make that area sharp (can also be used for Auto Iris and screen brightness).

  ND Filter

  The AG-UX90 features a four-position (OFF, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral density filter wheel.

  Skin Detail Adjustment

  Skin Detail smooths out fine detail on the face of your subject.

  Eight-Mode Gamma

  Drawing upon the technology of the high-end VariCam line, the UX90 features 8 selectable gamma modes including two cine-like gammas:

  • HD NORM - for standard HD recording
  • SD NORM - for standard SD recording
  • FILMLIKE 1 - Reproduces more gradation in highlight areas than when shooting in HD
  • FILMLIKE 2 - Reproduces more gradation in highlight areas than when shooting in FILMLIKE 1
  • FILMLIKE 3 - Reproduces more gradation in highlight areas than when shooting in FILMLIKE 2
  • Cine-Like D - The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range
  • Cine-Like V - The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast
  • Still-Like - Setting to match images captured with still cameras

  Three-Position Gain Selection

  There is a 3-position gain selector, with L, M and H settings. To each setting you can assign a gain value of 0, +3, +6, +9, +12 and +18 dB. There is also a Super Gain of +24 dB and +30 dB, accessible via a user button only.

  Other Camera Image Settings

  Three values (A/B/Preset) of white balance are selectable with an auto-tracking white function. The preset can be set to 3200K, 5600K, and VARIABLE, which ranges between P2.4K and P9.9K. As with gamma, matrix setting includes a Cine-Like mode. H & V detail levels are adjustable, as are detail coring and skin-tone detail. That's not all: chroma level, chroma phase, color temperature, and master pedestal are all adjustable as well. The camera offers four settings for knee point: Auto, Low, Mid, and High.

  High-Quality, Multi-Format Professional AVCHD PH Mode

  The AG-UX90 uses the AVCHD recording format and also supports the high-image-quality PH mode. AVCHD complies withMPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile motion-picture compression technology. Boasting a compression efficiency that ismore than twice that of the MPEG-2 system (such as HDV), this advanced video file format delivers superb image quality and low data rates. The PH mode was developed for AVCCAM by Panasonic exclusively for high-quality professional video production. This mode boasts a maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mb/s (average: 21 Mb/s) and records 1920 x 1080 Full-HD images. The AVCHD PH mode is also compatible with multiple HD formats, such as 1080/59.94i, 1080/29.97p, 1080/23.98p and 720/59.94p.

  Linear PCM Recording for High-Quality Sound

  The AG-UX90 supports uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM 2-channel digital audio recording with PH mode for high-quality sound. Other modes employ Dolby Digital 2-channel audio recording.

  Double-Slot SD Card System

  Not only can you record continuously on two SD/SDHC/SDXC cards (up to 64 GB), relay recording lets you seamlessly record images onto two memory cards consecutively for added data security, and simultaneous recording records the same images onto two different memory cards to increase reliability when recording. The slot to be used can be switched during normal recording, and clips can also be copied between the 2 slots.¹

  Other Recording Modes

  Pre-Rec continuously stores in standby mode up to 4 seconds of MOV/MP4 video and 3 seconds of AVCHD video, and this pre-record cache is only recorded to the P2 card once you press Record. This helps you get the shot every time, even if you "miss" the crucial moment by a couple seconds. Interval Rec gives you automatic intermittent recording based on a set interval and recording time (1 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min) only in 1080/24p. Rec Check checks the beginning and end of the last recorded clip. If you don't like it, Last Clip Delete enables one-button delete of that last clip. Scenes can be marked with up to 100 Index flags per clip (AVCHD mode only). Time Stamp appends the date and time onto recorded images, which is a crucial feature for evidential images.

  Scene File / User File

  The camera features a scene dial that allows you to choose an appropriate matrix of settings instantaneously. You can modify the six preset files if you'd like, one set of which can be stored internally in the camcorder. Up to eight sets can be stored on an SD memory card.

  Three User Buttons

  A total of 13 user buttons can be set to trigger any selection of 44 different camera functions.

  High-Quality Color Viewfinder and LCD

  The AG-UX90's color EVF uses a 0.45", approximately 1,560,000 dot-equivalent LCD display. It delivers bright, detailed, high-resolution images and a high response speed. The AG-UX90's LCD monitor has a 3.5", approximately 1,150,000-dot high-resolution panel. Various markers and grids can be displayed on the monitor/viewfinder, and with Mode Check, a list of the camera's settings can also be displayed on the viewfinder and monitor.

  XLR Input for Pro-Quality Audio

  In addition to the internal high-performance stereo microphone, the AG-UX90 comes equipped with two-channel XLR audio input terminals with a 48V phantom power supply. The internal microphone, external microphone, or line input can be selected for each channel. Large, easy-to-use level dials are also provided.
