Video reviews

The camcorder for adherents of the classics from Panasonic produces video in the maximum resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. But its functionality is fully revealed in the FullHD format — it is in it that the user has access to a lot of useful video recording modes.

Useful functionality

The advantages of shooting in high resolution lie in the ability to crop part of the video sequence to FullHD without losing quality. Also, in the most common resolution (1920x1080 pixels), the functions of tracking an object in the frame and embedding images from a smartphone camera into the main video(when it is connected to a camcorder via a wireless connection) work. The latter mode will appeal to those operators who like to comment on what is happening in the frame, shooting themselves in parallel with the surrounding reality.

Equipment

You can look at the video recording process both on a 3-inch rotary screen and on a smartphone paired with the camera. There is no separate viewfinder in the design of the model. But its equipment includes a hood and a removable cold shoe for installing additional equipment (for example, on-camera light).

Camera Talents

The camcorder uses high-aperture optics with a 20x optical zoom, in the development of which the engineers of the reputable German company Leica took part. At the wide end, the lens can capture the operator and a small piece of the environment in its field of view, and increasing the focal length will help reveal the talents of the videographer in the user. A high-quality picture at the output is the merit of the direct hands of the operator and all kinds of “improvers” like the HDR mode.

Additional features camcorder Panasonic HC-VX980:
