Panasonic HC-X1500 UHD 4K HDMI Pro Camcorder
The Panasonic HC-X1500 UHD 4K Pro Camcorder can meet both your main camera and behind-the-scenes (BTS) capture needs. This compact and lightweight camcorder records UHD 4K at broadcast-compatible frame rates, so it fits smoothly into your existing broadcast workflow. The HC-X1500 features a 1/2.5" 8.29M MOS sensor that always shoots at UHD 4K resolution, with the Venus processing engine scaling the 4K image for HD delivery via 3G-SDI or HDMI outputs. Record in either MP4, MOV, or AVCHD Progressive at rates ranging from 720p50 to UHD 4K60 to best suit your various projects. The built-in Leica Dicomar lens features a 24x, 25-600mm 35mm-equivalent zoom with a digital iZoom feature to zoom up to 48x.
The Face Detection AF feature enables you to track faces and automatically adjusts focus on your subject. It also features pro-style manual control rings, a control dial, and 5-axis optical image stabilization to keep your shots steady. The HC-X1500 can be used with a separately available top handle that has two 3-pin XLR audio inputs for line or mic level input, as well as a switch for +48V phantom power. The camera features built-in selectable 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 ND mechanical filters for quick adjustments during changing lighting conditions. Manual adjustments are via dials set into the side of the camera so you can adjust the levels during the shot without having to pull up a menu function.
Autofocus is fast, smooth, and accurate giving you the confidence to capture even the most fleeting moments. Face detection algorithms make shooting weddings, interviews, vlogs, and live events a breeze by ensuring your subject is always sharp
