The GY-HM180U 12.4MP 4K UHD Compact Handheld Camcorder with Integrated 12x Ultra HD Lens is a game-changer in the realm of professional compact cameras. It boasts enhanced recording features over its predecessor, offering full professional controls and a seamlessly integrated 12x zoom lens. This handheld camcorder delivers breathtaking 4K Ultra HD video recordings directly to cost-effective SDHC/SDXC memory cards.
For live broadcasting needs, it offers 4K output through its HDMI connector, or HD through the newly added 3G-SDI output. The integrated 12x Ultra HD Lens, coupled with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS Sensor, ensures ultra-high-quality imagery. The precision 12x F1.2-3.5 optical zoom lens (35mm equivalent: 29.6-355mm) and JVC's 4K CMOS sensor with 12.4M pixels provide high sensitivity and superior performance across diverse lighting conditions.
When shooting in HD mode, the Dynamic Zoom combines optical zoom and pixel mapping to create a seamless and lossless 24x zoom, allowing the camera to maintain a long zoom range while retaining its compact form. The convenient ND filter wheel with 0, 1/4th, and 1/16th positions further enhances the user experience.
The GY-HM180U makes working with 4K easier than ever. Simply insert an SDHC or SDXC (UHS-I Speed class3) memory card and record hours of 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) material. The recordings are made using the Quicktime (.MOV) file format, ensuring compatibility with many popular editing systems.
The camera also offers 4:2:2 Full HD recording at 50Mbps, making it an ideal choice for general HD production work. The dual SDHC/SDXC card slots offer simultaneous recording and relay recording, providing a truly versatile camcorder experience.
For web-friendly formats, lower resolution H.264 files (480x270p and 960x540p) can be recorded simultaneously with full HD files. These smaller files are perfect for immediate web posting or quick import to an iPad for easy editing using iMovie or Pinnacle Studio.
In summary, the GY-HM180U 12.4MP 4K UHD Compact Handheld Camcorder with Integrated 12x Ultra HD Lens is a compact, high-definition, handheld, portable, and user-friendly device designed for professionals and individuals seeking high-quality video recording capabilities.
