AJ-HDC27H Variable Frame-Rate HD Camera-Recorder
VariCam Keeps Evolving Digital Video with the Sensitivity of Film Panasonic continues to expand the boundaries of video production with breakthrough digital image technologies that put more expressive power in the hands of movie, TV commercial, and episodic TV program cinematographers. Introducing the AJ-HDC27H, the second-generation VariCam HD camera-recorder that's suitable for producing all types of image content.
VARIABLE FRAME RATE Offers Advanced Speed Effects and Produces All Types of Content – Only the VariCam Variable Frame Rate The Panasonic VariCam is the world's first video camera capable of emulating the "undercranking" and "overcranking" technique of film cameras to slow down or speed up images. By varying the frame rate from 4 to 60 fps and adjusting the shutter speed from 0.8% to 97.2% (3deg to 350deg) of the frame rate, you can create a wide range of cinematic effects.
Lower-speed shooting at 4 to 23* fps For example, shooting at 12 fps lets you attain a 2x fast- Normal shooting at 24 fps Normal cinematic shooting is done at 24 fps, the same rate as in film cameras. Discrete 720p images and a specially developed film gamma curve create images with the same tonal characteristics as film. motion effect with playback at the cinema speed of 24 fps.
CINE GAMMA Video with the Same Latitude as Film – Only VariCam Film Gamma Selectable The extremely wide reproductive range of film is the key to its lush expression. Panasonic's new gamma curves — developed specifically to allow a CCD camera to produce the tonal qualities of film — now bring film's natural shading and rich coloration to the video camera.The Varicam also lets you switch between video and film gamma modes.
