4K Video Recording
Preserve your memories in all their beauty
With four times the resolution of Full-HD, this compact Panasonic camcorder records in 4K resolution. That means you'll have detailed, true-to-life scenes in any shooting situation. You can even capture impressive 4K still images of special or unique moments with 4K Photo mode. Panasonic's high-speed, high-precision autofocus technology makes 4K shooting easy for everyone.

Smooth zooming
With Smooth Zoom, you get smooth zooming without any zoom blur. It's also easy to zoom in on an off-center subject without maneuvering the camera angle.

Exact panning
Enjoy smooth and exact panning, too, by simply selecting the start and end points.

Easy tracking
You can choose a person to be tracked from a video, and the camcorder automatically keeps the object in the cropped area.

Convenient Stabiliser
Even after shooting, you can compensate for shaking thanks to automatic adjustment of the cropping position. The result is more stable, clear footage.

Clear optics
In addition to rendering crisp images, the remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading that LEICA lenses are renowned for, with minimised ghosting and flaring.

Accurate scenes
By increasing the read-out speed of the recording, the advanced BSI Sensor with approx. 8M effective pixels suppresses distortion to give an accurate rendering of the scene.
