AG-AC90

29.8mm Wide Angle to 12x Zoom Lens
This high-powered zoom lens covers from news gathering to image production field. It goes from 29.8 mm (35 mm equivalent) wide-angle to 12x zoom. Panasonic's unique Nano Surface Coating minimizes ghosts and flaring, and the high-speed F1.5 (at the widest angle) enables extremely clear image rendering.

High-Sensitivity BSI Type 3MOS Sensors
Three (RGB) 1/4.7 type MOS image sensors have an effective pixel count of 2,680,000 pixels. In addition to high BSI (backside  illumination) sensitivity and excellent 3MOS colour reproduction, 4x dense pixel shifting technology achieves high resolution. This lets you record high-quality Full-HD (1920x1080) images even in dim lighting. The image processing circuit, which is tuned for professional use, produces highly natural gradation and detail.

Three Manual Rings - Zoom, Focus, Iris
The lens barrel is equipped with manual rings for focus, zoom and iris operation to enable the kind of speedy, intuitive camera work.

5-Axis Hybrid Hand-Shake Correction
The AG-AC90 features 5-Axis Hybrid OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer/hand-shake correction). This powerful image stabilizer combines the advantages of both optical and electronic systems to ensure stable handheld shooting.

Intelligent Zoom and Digital Zoom
Intelligent Zoom gives you seamless zooming up to 25x magnification while minimizing decreases in resolution. And a 2x/5x/10x Digital Zoom is also featured. Combining the optical zoom and Intelligent Zoom, this provides an ultra-telephoto range up to 250x.

Scene File Function for Advanced Image Quality Settings
The six preset scene settings allow immediate response to a variety of shooting situations. The following settings can be freely changed and saved over the preset values.
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights by visually expanding the dynamic range.
• 7 Mode Gamma: Allows selection from seven gamma curves: HD NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B.PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/ CINE-LIKE V.
• Other settings: H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and skin tone detail, chroma level, chroma phase, colour temp and master pedestal, auto iris level, knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), matrix (NORM1/NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE).

Focus Assist and Push AF
The Focus Assist (Focus in Red) button shows when your subject is in focus by outlining subject edges in red on the LCD monitor. And Push AF activates the AF function while in Manual mode with the press of a button (allocated to a User button). This provides handy support for manual focusing.
