Controls and Card Slots Grouped on One Side All operation switches and volume controls are set on the left side of the camera. P2 card slots, which were set on the right side in previous models, have also been moved to the left side. Their logical horizontal arrangement makes it easy to insert and remove cards quickly. Low Power Consumption - Only 19 W By developing a new energy-efficient DSP and integrating the AVC-Intra codec circuitry with it, Panasonic significantly downsized the printed circuit board. This not only makes the AG-HPX370 series smaller and lighter, it also reduces power consumption. The new image sensor helps lower power consumption too. Together, these innovations reduce power use to only 19 W during recording. The lower battery consumption can mean greater mobility in the field. Power Consumption: 51% Reduction AJ-HDX900 Power Consumptionɿ38.8w (Main 35W + EVF 3.8W) AG-HPX370 series Power Consumptionɿ19W (EVFɺLCD ON) Focus Assist Functions Press the Focus Assist button and the center section of the screen expands in size, making it easier to determine if the focus is correct. Also, the Focus Bar* that visually indicates the focus level can be displayed on the screen. *When 'Focus Bar' in Display Menu is "ON".

This newly developed system delivers bright, detailed, high-resolution images and a high response speed. The AG-HPX370 series's LCD monitor is a 3.2-inch panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. With approx. 921,000 dots (1920 x 480), it boasts higher resolution than the LCDs in previous models. Focus Assist OFF Focus Assist ON Simplified Waveform and Vectorscope Display The AG-HPX370 series has waveform and vectorscope display functions of the captured video signal on the LCD monitor. Waveform Vectorscope Support Functions for Greater Convenience • White balance: Three values (A/B/Preset) of white balance with the auto tracking white function. • Mode check: Displays a list of the camera settings on the viewfinder and LCD monitor. • Zebra: Select any two levels from among 50% to 109%, in 1% steps. • Y-GET: Measures brightness at the screen center and displays precise numerical data. • The Audio Rec level adjustment features a push lock function. • The Audio Input level adjustment (front) can be switched on/off and allocated to desired channels.
