Panasonic AG-AF101

The World' s First*1 Professional HD Camera Recorder Conforms the Micro Four Thirds Standard.*2 AVCCAM Quality and Functions Achieve Digital Single Lens Still Camera Images.
The large sensor and interchangeable lens format means that this camera can achieve depth of field control similar to a 35mm motion picture camera* – without the aliasing and moiré that has compromised the DSLR shooter.

The AG-AF101 is the first professional 4/3" large image video camcorder optimized for high-definition video recording. Targeted at the video and film production communities, the AF100 delivers the shallow depth of field and wider field of view of a large imager, with the flexibility
and cost advantages of a handheld camcorder. The AF100 has the ability to use virtually any professional quality lens with the addition of an easily obtainable adapter.

The design of the AF101's 4/3-inch sensor affords depth of field and field of view similar to that of 35mm movie cameras in a less expensive camera body. Equipped with an interchangeable lens micro 4/3" mount, the AF100 can utilize an array of low-cost, widely-available still camera lenses as well as film-style lenses with fixed focal lengths, prime lenses, and zoom lenses.

AGAF101 Overview
A 4/3-inch Image Sensor with Digital Still Camera Technology
The same digital single lens still camera technology that's gathering widespread attention for its innovative motion image techniques, has been applied to this camera recorder. The 4/3-inch
MOS image sensor, with an imaging area similar to that of 35mm movies, lets you easily shoot film-like movies with the shallow depth of field and soft focus of a film camera lens.

Micro Four Thirds Lens Mount
A wide variety of lenses for Micro Four Thirds standard digital SLR cameras can be used for shooting movies.
With the mount adaptor, it is also possible to mount 35mm film camera lenses and prime lenses,
to render images that maximize lens characteristics.

Extended Recording in AVCHD High-Quality PH Mode
The AVCHD recording format used by the AG-AF100 series includes a professional PH mode with maximum AVCHD bit rate for stunning image quality. Two SD card slots allow continuous
recording for up to 12 hours* in PH mode and up to 48 hours* in HE mode with two SD (SD/SDHC/SDXC) cards on board.
