The Smallest, Lightest 4K 60p Camcorder
Professional camcorders combine power with mobility. These compact units enable high-quality 4K 60p recording with the excellent portability required for professional use. They deliver a high-spec optical performance with a wide-angle 25mm lens and optical 24x zoom featuring Face Detection AF/AE. Professional functions include Two Manual Rings, an ND Filter, a Built-in LED Video Light and 24-bit High-Resolution PCM Audio Recording.
Video acquisition utilizes 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording and the new HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) codec for video compression. HD live streaming is possible with the camcorder body alone due to built-in Wi-Fi. Also, in addition to serving as a highly mobile and responsive director's camera for strong support when shooting on-location and news gathering, the design also meets the needs of advanced amateurs for uncompromising 4K imaging.
1/2.5-type (1/2.5-inch) Sensor
Increasing the readout speed has made it possible to handle large-volume 4K data at a fast 60 fps. This suppresses the rolling shutter distortion that often occurs when shooting moving subjects.
LEICA Dicomar Lens
This high-performance lens has passed the stringent inspection standards of Leica Camera AG for aspects such as resolution and contrast. In addition to rendering sharp, crisp images, it produces the distinctive nuances and subtle shading that Leica lenses are renowned for.
Wide 25mm and Optical 24x Zoom Lens
The lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom achieved by a 4-Drive Lens System.
4K High-Precision AF
An image sensor with 60fps readout and a precise focus lens drive enable superior focusing speed, stability and tracking performance for both 4K and FHD. Complex 4K focusing is also automated for comfortable framing of stunning 4K shots.
Face Detection AF/AE Using Color
Face Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out-of-focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also, by adding color recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.
5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S. (UHD/FHD)
In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. This provides strong correction under unstable conditions, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting.
Ball O.I.S. System
This system reduces friction on the drive section, achieving delicate correction even for small-amplitude handshake.
ND Filter
ND filters are built into the lens to suppress the amount of incident light. The filters can be selected (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, or OFF) to match the shooting environment. This is convenient, for example, when you want to shoot at a slow shutter speed in bright daylight. Also, when opening the aperture, you can attain high resolution and a shallow depth of field.
Heat-Dispersing Design
A new ultrathin fan disperses heat in the camcorder with integrated lens and 4K 60p recording. It is the industry's smallest and lightest unit with low power consumption.
Venus Engine
The Venus Engine, which contains technologies accumulated with LUMIX, is newly incorporated in these camcorders. This enables 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording with maximum 29.97p in UHD, and maximum 59.94p in FHD.
HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit Recording
Equipped with new, highly efficient codec HEVC recording.
High-bit rate recording with LongGOP 200M (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MOV) and LongGOP 100M (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MP4) is possible.
Multi-Formats Supported
Versatile formats and bit rates are available. In addition to easy-to-edit MOV and MP4, 720p AVCHD 8-Mbps (PM) mode is included.

4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording / HDMI Output
Records a 4:2:2 10-bit color profile of up to LongGOP UHD 29.97p/25p (150 Mbps), or FHD 59.94p/50p (100 Mbps) with SD cards. When set for 10-bit recording, the camcorder delivers 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, enabling high image quality capture with an external recorder.
MOV File System for Excellent File Management
The same file system as that used with the AG-CX350 Professional Handheld Camcorder will automatically create filenames 20 characters in length for easy control of clips. Conventional AVCHD acquisition is also supported.
Super Slow-motion Recording
In FHD mode, slow-motion recording at 120 fps (for 59.94 Hz)/100 fps (for 50 Hz) is possible. 10-bit recording is supported, and full-frame images with the image area uncropped are obtained even at high frame rates. Auto focus can also be used even during Super Slow-motion Recording.
IR (Infrared) Shooting in Dark Places
The IR Cut Filter can be turned ON/OFF (allocated on the User button). When the filter is turned OFF, commercially available IR lights* can be used for shooting in dark places.
- * Recommended: 850-nm wavelength light.
16-Axis Independent Color Correction Function
This function provides an independent effect to each of the 16 phases of video images. It enables color matching of multiple cameras under the same lighting conditions as well as creative image rendering.
Soft Skin
Makes skin colors appear softly and beautifully. Especially effective when recording the person up close.
