Panasonic AG-CX18

Compact 4K 60p Camcorder. Built for DirectorsWhile excelling in mobility and portability. the included high-capacity battery provides 4 hours and 35 minutes of shooting (60 Hz). and the compact body considers the weight balance of the advanced functions when shooting.4K High-Precision AFFace Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out of focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also. by adding color recognition. tracking subjects is improved. without interruption. when the face moves to either side.HYBRID O.I.S.In addition to Optical Image Stabilization. Electronic Image Stabilization detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction in the drive section. especially improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring.Versatile Recording ModeSupports a high bit rate of 200 Mbps for 4K 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MOV) codec. and 120/100fps* Super Slow-motion with 10-bit recording in FHD.Heat-Dispersing DesignThe heat dispersion structure equipped with an ultrathin fan enables a compact. lightweight body to be combined with ultra high definition 4K 60p recording.Tiltable Viewfinder with EyecupThe 1.770K-dot-equivalent OLED color viewfinder can be tilted for added convenience. The large eyecup fits either eye comfortably.Wireless Control from a Tablet or SmartphoneThe built-in 5-GHz/2.4-GHz Wi-Fi module enables you to connect just the body to Wi-Fi.

It is also compatible with the versatile USB-PD standard to reduce environmental impact.

Compact 4K 10bit 60p camcorder with IP connectivity The AG-CX20 and AG-CX18 models camcorders feature state-of-the-art optical technology in addition to a lightweight and compact chassis design that delivers increased mobility and high-quality video production. Wide angle zoom lens for precise shooting The camcorders offer superior optical performance thanks to a powerful integrated 25mm (35mm camera equivalent.) wide angle to 600mm (AG-CX20 only.) telephoto zoom lens with 24x optical zoom. They feature a 4-Drive Lens System that operates each lens group independently in addition to two manual focus rings. All four cameras feature both Optical and Electric Image Stabilisation to detect and correct any unwanted camera shake through five axes including rotational blurring. This is especially useful when shooting subjects from very high and low angles. All models provide superior focusing speed stability and tracking performance when shooting in both 4K and FHD thanks to the Face Detection AF/AE feature that provides precise focusing and exposure for subjects. IP-based video for seamless streaming The high-end CX20 model will support full-HD live streaming through the next-generation IP-based SRT protocol (To be added by firmware update.) with the CX20 and CX18 delivering simultaneous SDI/HDMI outputs. Panasonic’s CX20 also supports NDI?* HX2 IP connectivity for high-quality low-latency live streaming in a network environment without the need for external converters. Both the CX20 and CX18 support Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) (Supported protocols: RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS.) allowing content to be streamed live directly to social media platforms and video sharing sites such as YouTube. Listening to the needs of the industry Panasonic’s intimate knowledge of what directors and cinematographers require from high-performance camcorders when shooting on location have been reflected within the improvements made to all four models further increasing usability and functionality. Compact design for superior mobility The unique design of all four models enables heat to be dispersed from the front panel thanks to a slimline fan. This increases reliability and enables the body to be as small as possible. The CX20 and CX18 include Panasonic’s VW-HU1 handle unit featuring a two-channel XLR audio input and control and bright adjustable LED light for shooting in low light conditions. Users can also easily operate lens zoom from the handle unit. All four camcorders support multiple bit rates and formats for a variety of requirements. When configured for 10 bit recording with an HDMI output all models deliver 4K 60p 4:2:2 output with an external recorder. All camcorders support the MOV MP4 and AVCHD formats whilst the CX20 supports the P2 MXF workflow. • Compact 4K 10bit 60p camcorder with IP connectivity • Wide-Angle 25mm (35mm camera equivalent.)
