AG-AC90:
Overview
Panasonic's new AG-AC90 AVCCAM combines the high
image quality, advanced functions and easy operation that
professionals demand in a stylish, easy-to-handle design. The
high-speed F1.5 lens extends from 29.8mm (35mm equivalent)
wide-angle to 12x optical zoom. BSI (backside illumination) type
3MOS Image Sensors exhibit high sensitivity, Full-HD resolution and
a high S/N ratio. The AVCHD recorder section supports both PS mode,
for Full-HD progressive image production, and pro-use PH mode. They
realize the versatile shooting angles, image quality, and recording
formats you need for news gathering and image production. Other
professional operating features include Triple Manual Rings (focus,
zoom and iris), XLR Microphone/Audio Inputs, and remote terminals
to provide the system capabilities that professional applications
require.
Featuring a stylish, easy-to-handle design, the AG-AC90 AVCCAM HD
handheld camcorder captures native 1920 x 1080 resolution images
and records in 1080/60p, 60i, 30p and 24p, as well as in standard
definition (480/60i) in 60Hz.
The AC90 debuts a premium professional AVCCAM HD recording mode,
the PS mode (28 Mbps, 60p only), and also records video in the PH
mode (average 21 Mbps/Max 24Mbps), the HA mode (approx.17 Mbps),
and the extended recording HE mode (approx. 6 Mbps) as well as SD
(at 9 Mbps.) Shooters will find invaluable its wide 29.8mm to 357.6
mm (35mm equivalent)12X optical zoom lens with three independent
adjustable rings for zoom, focus and iris for a wide viewing angle,
and Panasonic's exclusive Nano Surface Lens Coating that reduces
ghosting and flares.
The AC90 includes; a five-axis image stabilizer that dramatically
improves stabilization for hand-held shooting; a 4K2K pixel
shifting technology for a sharper image; and an Intelligent Zoom
Auto that provides seamless digital zooming up to 25X magnification
while minimizing decreases in resolution. The standard zoom length
is 12X.
With two SD slots for continuous recording, the AC90 can record up
to 12 hours on two 64GB SDB cards in PS mode,. (There will be a
skip in the video as it changes to the second card) The two slots
can also be utilized for simultaneous back-up recording.
Additionally the camera can be set up to record video on one card
and the Stills on the second card.
The AC90 is compatible with Panasonic's ultra high-speed UHS-1
Memory Card series (in addition to providing SDXC and SDHC card
support), with transfer rates of 90MBs, 4-1/2 times as fast as the
previous generation of SDHC media.
The AC90 includes such desirable professional features as SMPTE
time code/User Bite recording; and two wired remote control
terminals (for zoom, focus, iris, REC start/stop controls).
Standard professional interfaces include an HDMI output, USB 2.0
(mini B-type), Multi-AV output, and a built-in stereo or 5.1 Dolby
Digital microphone. The camcorder features two locking XLR audio
inputs with switches for mic/line, two RCA audio outputs. The
camera can also record 2 channels of uncompressed audio.
For editing or playback, professionals can transfer content by
inserting the SD Memory Card into Mac or PC computers or by
connecting the camera directly via its USB 2.0 interface.
Panasonic's AVCCAM Importer software, a QuickTime plug-in component
that eliminates the need to convert AVCHD files to ProRES422 files
before editing in Final Cut Pro, is available as a free download
from the company's web site.

Features
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
