About Panasonic HC-V785K

Let the HC-V785K Full HD Camcorder be your partner in capturing life's most precious moments with unparalleled clarity and precision. This durable and compact camcorder is designed to deliver high-quality video content with its advanced 20x optical zoom, ensuring that you can frame shots perfectly and capture distant subjects with ease.

Experience the brilliance of the HC-V785K's high-sensitivity BSI sensor, which is adept at reproducing stunning images even in low-light conditions. The sensor's large effective area, coupled with pixels that are 34% larger than those found in standard sensors, significantly reduces noise and enhances image quality, allowing you to seize those once-in-a-lifetime emotional moments in breathtaking detail.

The camcorder's innovative 4-Drive Lens System operates by independently driving four separate lens groups, which not only results in high-quality imagery and high-powered zooming but also maintains a compact camera body despite the impressive 20x optical zoom capability.

Elevate your filming experience by using your smartphone as a secondary camera. With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can effortlessly capture video from two angles simultaneously, offering a multitude of Picture in Picture possibilities and creative perspectives.

The HC-V785K ensures your videos are crisp and detailed, thanks to its HDR Movie function. This feature intelligently combines two images taken at different exposures to balance the highlights and shadows, producing natural videos with excellent gradation even in challenging lighting conditions. A dedicated HDR button allows for swift mode changes when the situation demands it.

Say goodbye to shaky footage with the HYBRID O.I.S. + (Optical Image Stabilizer), which utilizes five-axis correction to thoroughly eliminate blurring across the entire zoom range. Additionally, the Level Shot function intuitively corrects image tilting, ensuring stable and level footage with every shot.

Designed for ease of use, this versatile camcorder features a 3" touch screen LCD for intuitive control, a built-in microphone, and a mic input for enhanced audio options. Its Wi-Fi capabilities not only allow for remote shooting but also enable easy sharing of your high-definition 1080p videos, captured at a resolution of 1920 x 1080. With a sensor size of 1/2.3" to 1/2.9" and secure digital (SD) recording media, the HC-V785K Full HD Camcorder is the ideal choice for both amateur and professional videographers seeking a reliable, high-performance device to document their vision.
