Panasonic AG-AC7 HD AVCHD Camcorder:
R 16 049.00
The Panasonic AG-AC7 Shoulder-Mount AVCHD is Full HD camera that
enables a truly professional style of operation. Professional projects
require stable operation over long periods of time and manual control
over the picture, with smooth adjustments. The AC7's shoulder-mount
design, its relatively low power draw from the included long-life
battery and selectable-bit-rate AVCHD recording to high-capacity
SD/SDHC/SDXC cards all serve to facilitate long days of shooting events,
weddings, news and anything else that requires you to be on the move,
ready to shoot, camera on shoulder.
It's also perfect for houses of worship and educational institutions
that teach manual settings and a professional style of camera operation.
For ease in completing both SD and HD projects, the AG-AC7 camera
features AVCHD recording at 1920 x 1080 and 720 x 480, both at 60i. The
built-in 16.7x (optical) / 23x (Intelligent) zoom lens starts out nice
and wide at 35.8mm (35mm equivalent), so indoor shooting does not become
a challenge to see how deeply into the corner you can smash yourself.
With a large grip and zoom lever and a large, easy-to-hold manual focus
ring, you've got accessible, precise controls and a zebra pattern
assists you in setting exposure. In addition to extensive manual
controls, there's also Intelligent Auto (IA) and Hybrid optical image
stabilization, providing the high-tech help you need to ensure smooth,
reliably crisp & clear capture of Full HD video.
Features:
| Full HD 1920 x 1080 Recording: The AG-AC7
camcorder lets you shoot with Full HD picture quality (1920 x 1080
at 60i), allowing you to capture extremely fine details of the
scenes and objects you're recording |
| Professional Shoulder-Mount Design: The
camcorder has a large hand grip with a large zoom lever mounted on
top (helpful for smooth operation during low-angle shooting). The
wide-diameter, easy-to-hold manual focus ring enables smooth,
positive operation and quick, precise control over focus |
| HD/SD Recording in the AVCHD Format: The
AG-AD7 records to the AVCHD format in both HD and SD resolutions,
with modes that range from 17 Mb/s HA mode (1920 x 1080) to 4.5
Mb/s SX mode (720 x 480). See Specifications tab for full details |
| Zoom Lens - 35.8mm at Full Wide: The
AG-AD7's zoom lens achieves 35.8mm (35mm film equivalent) at the
wide end. This is ideal for capturing a panoramic vista or a
fuller view of a small room. The optional VW-4607H Wide Conversion
Lens (sold separately) expands the view to an even wider 25mm |
| Intelligent 23x Zoom: Intelligent Zoom
employs the Intelligent Resolution technology of the camcorder's
image-processing LSI to maintain the clear, beautiful HD image
quality for images that go beyond the optical zoom range |
| Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization: This
combines the advantages of optical stabilization and those of
electronic stabilization. It helps capture beautiful, shake-free
images under a multitude of conditions by detecting and
compensating for the instability caused by a variety of movement
types |
| O.I.S. Lock: Pressing the O.I.S. Lock button
on the camcorder's touchscreen LCD monitor maximizes the camera's
blur-detection sensitivity and correction. This is ideal for
telephoto applications such as birdwatching, which calls for
zooming to a fixed angle |
| Touchscreen LCD Monitor - 2.7": Control
settings are executed by simply touching the AG-AC7's LCD screen.
Operation is intuitive and easy and the large letters are easy to
read. Shooting and viewing can thus be simpler and more
stress-free |
| Long-Life Battery Included: The AC7 comes
with Panasonic's VW-VBG260 rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which
is rated to record continuously for 4 hours and 35 minutes |
| Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode: In the powerful
Intelligent Auto (iA) mode, the AC7 senses the particular shooting
conditions at any given moment and the camcorder automatically
inputs the settings and activates the functions that will deliver
optimal results |
| Built-In Zoom Microphones: The built-in
stereo microphones "zoom" in proportion to the zoom
setting of the lens, allowing the two electret condenser
microphones to bring sound and image together to create an
exceptional recorded atmosphere. There's also a 3.5mm input for an
external microphone |
| Wind Noise Canceller: This function
automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, leaving
natural sounds with lifelike ambience |
| Manual Functions for Creative Flexibility:
Let your true creativity shine, with a wealth of manual controls
at your fingertips. You can switch to auto mode at any time, of
course, which is ideal for when you need to start shooting at a
moment's notice |
| SD Memory Card Recording: This camera
conveniently records to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (sold
separately) to enable high-capacity recording to readily available
solid-state media. SD memory card recording also provides rapid
data transfer and outstanding compatibility with editing
applications |
