Description
With features like time/date superimposition & the Zero Lux IR mode, the world's first* infrared nighttime shooting mode (B&W) in a 3CCD camera-recorder, the AG-DVC30 is ideal for professional monitoring & surveillance use. Add a slow shutter mode for high-sensitivity color recording, Cine-Like gamma curve, & 30-fps frame recording that gives images a film-like appearance, & you've got ultra-flexible performance to meet a host of professional needs.
The AG-DVC30 also features the newly developed Leica Dicomar 16x optical zoom lens, which provides superb image rendering in shots ranging from wide angle all the way to telephoto.The motorized zoom is silky smooth & can go from wide to tele in as fast as 1 second (for Sports applications) or as slow as 100 seconds (for dramatic work).
The AG-DVC30's Leica Dicomar 16x optical zoom lens answers a broad range of shooting needs, delivering superb results from 39.5mm wide angle all the way to 632mm telephoto (both 35mm lens equivalents). In wide-angle performance, critical in broadcast & other professional applications, this lens is tops in its class.
Behind this outstanding performance are the advanced optical technologies & expertise that have made Leica Camera AG one of the most respected names in the camera world.
This new 16x optical zoom lens system uses low-dispersion glass & aspherical lenses to reduce color aberration & boost resolution. Use of a special multi-coating process dramatically reduces flare & ghosts. The result: sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered pictures with vivid colors, delicate nuances, & exceptional shading.
The AG-DVC30's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) compensates hand shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyrosensor detects hand-shake & sends signals to a linear motor, which adjusts the lens to compensate.
Because this process takes place prior to the CCD image capture (rather than in the downstream electronic processing), it virtually eliminates any effect of hand-shake on resolution & screen angle. The OIS can also be helpful when zooming or shooting in dim lighting.
To assure a level of picture quality suitable for professionals, the AG-DVC30 uses a 3CCD image system that delivers the highest sensitivity in its class. Its high S/N ratio and extremely low noise combines with high sensitivity to deliver excellent image quality even when shooting indoors under dim lighting. When shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights, this 3CCD system offers low smear.
The AG-DVC30 can capture & reproduce images that are strikingly similar in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like gamma curve & a 30-fps frame recording function that electronically interpolates interlaced images to create frames with no time differences between fields.
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more.
