ULTRA QUALITY Approaches High-End Shoulder-Type Camera Recorder Performance 600% Dynamic Range with New 1/3-Type 3MOS Image Sensors Newly developed 2.2-megapixel 1/3-type 3MOS (RGB) image sensors offer full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, F11 (59.94 Hz) or F12 (50 Hz) sensitivity* and low noise. They also achieve rich gradation and vibrant color reproduction. The new 1/3-type image sensors achieve the same maximum 600% level 1/3 type, 2.2 megapixel MOS sensor (compared to the 300% level of our previous model) of dynamic range as many high-end shoulder-type models. This captures rich data all the way from highlights to shadows, to render truly realistic images. Features such as color grading also expand post-production flexibility. * In [HIGH SENS.] mode • FILM-REC Gamma: Featured in 110 100 our previous VARICAM model, this 90 function was made possible by the 80 70 output (%) new 600% dynamic range. It 60 50 achieves a latitude that exceeds the 40 AJ-PX270 FILM-REC GAMMA CINE-LIKE D mode in our previous handheld camera recorder. Gamma curves can be selected from 7 modes (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/FILMLIKE 2/ 30 Conventional 20 Model 10 00 100 200 300 400 500 600 input (%) Comparison of Dynamic Ranges FILMLIKE 3/FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC). • DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range. Dynamic range 300% Dynamic range 600% 22x Zoom Lens with Three Manual Rings and Ultra Low-Speed Seesaw Zoom Levers The AJ-PX270 features a newly developed, high-performance, compact zoom lens. Zooming from 28 mm to 616 mm (35 mm equivalent), this 22x zoom lens covers a wide field of view, from wide-angle to telephoto, without the need for a conversion lens. Combining 18 lens elements in 12 groups, this advanced lens unit further adds a UHR (Ultra High Refractive) glass element, a low dispersion element and aspherical lenses. This newest optical technology provides superbly high resolution. In addition, it is combined with our unique, Emmy awarded digital signal processing technology called Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) to minimize color bleeding in the surrounding image areas and to achieve rich expression with finely rendered nuances and excellent shading. The AJ-PX270 has three manual rings: a mechanical (cam-type) zoom ring, a focus ring and an iris ring. The operating feel and rib pattern of these rings are carefully designed to make manual operation feel using an interchangeable lens. The focus ring is knurled for reliable fingertip control of delicate focusing. The seesaw zoom levers (grip/handle) support extra-slow zooming down to 180 seconds. Lens Ring Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), Digital Zoom and ND Filter • Hand-shake correction with the built-in optical image stabilizer (OIS). • Equipped with a digital zoom function.*1 Magnification control can be assigned to a user button for quick zooming to 2x, 5x or 10x. It provides a telephoto capability of up to 220x in combination with the optical zoom. • Built-in ND filter (OFF, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64). *1: Flash Band Compensation will not operate while digital zooming. Image Adjustment Function from a New Menu The AJ-PX270's camera signal processing LSI enables hue-adjustable 12 axis color compensation for each color gamut, independent 3 axis skin-tone color compensation, and also has a detailed image adjustment function. The new image adjustment menu brings you intuitive image control. Setting Items: H detail, V detail, detail New image adjustment menu coring, skin tone detail, chroma level, color temperature, master pedestal, knee, matrix, color correction, RB gain control, chroma setting, black control, gamma, high color, white clip. Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC) This function detects and precisely compensates the flash bands (bands of light and dark) that often occur in still cameras equipped with an MOS sensor. Variable Frame Rate Supporting 1080p The Variable Frame Rate function (AVC-Intra100)* was inherited from the Panasonic VariCam, which is widely used for producing movies, TV series and TV commercials. Featuring a variable frame rate of 1 to 60 fps, this function creates a wide range of film-camera-like images, such as overcranking for slow-motion and undercranking for quick-motion effects. * Pre-Rec, Loop Rec, Interval Rec, One-Shot Rec, Dual Rec and One-Clip Rec cannot be used while recording at the native variable frame rate. Overcranking (higher-speed shooting) Undercranking (lower-speed shooting) Advanced Focus Assist Functions A variety of focus assist functions support quick and accurate focusing in manual focus mode. • Turbo-Speed One-Push AF: Pressing the PUSH AUTO button enables focusing in 0.5 seconds or less.* • Focus-in-Red Display: Emphasizes the image areas in focus by marking the edges in red. • Expand: Enlarges the center portion for increased visibility. • Focus Bar: The meter graphically displays the focus level. * The focusing time varies depending on the shooting conditions and subjects.
