The Panasonic WXF1 camcorder will delight the 4K video enthusiast in the family with a cinema-like recording experience. Semi-professional features include an electronic eye viewfinder and quick-access buttons to Variable White Balance, Focus Expand, and Peeking and Custom Autofocus, plus a manual lens-mounted control ring. Improved optical and sensor performance is backed by a new LEICA DICOMAR 24x optical zoom lens (25-600mm) with a bright aperture range from F1.8 wide - 4.0 tele and a large 1/2.5" BSI MOS Sensor for impressive capture even in low light. To keep the image rock stable, three unique optical image stabilization technologies work together; 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ Ball O.I.S. and Adaptive O.I.S. For a more natural look, a new Active Contrast technology equalizes gradation, while the HDR Movie mode enables a wider dynamic range response.
