Packed into a compact body and offering the on-site mobility and portability, it enables high-quality 4K 50p/60 recording. Achieving high-spec optical performance with a Wide-Angle 25mm1 Lens and 32x i.ZOOM (4K recording), exclusive high-precision AF provides high-speed, accurate focusing for both 4K and Full-HD shooting.

The AG-CX10 camcorder suits reportage and interview style shooting, events coverage and sports. Wi-Fi supports HD Live Streaming using only the camcorder.

Panasonic's exclusive high-precision Auto Focus (AF) provides high-speed, accurate face detection and focusing for both 4K and FullHD shooting. The AG-CX10 has two manual rings, selectable 1/4, 1/16, 1/64 ND filter, a built-in and adjustable LED video light, and 24-bit linear PCM audio recording.

Handheld work during difficult low-angle and high-angle shooting is simple using the AG-CX10. In addition to Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilisation operates to detect and correct handshake in 5 axes, including rotational blurring.

*For a camcorder with an integrated lens capable of 4K 60p recording (as of January 6, 2020, according to Panasonic research).

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.

1/2.5-TYPE SENSOR

  • Increasing the readout speed has made it possible to handle large-volume 4K data at a fast 60 fps/50 fps.
  • This suppresses the rolling shutter distortion that often occurs when shooting moving subjects.

VENUS ENGINE

  • The Venus Engine, which contains technologies accumulated with LUMIX, is newly incorporated in camcorders.
  • This high-speed LSI processes the massive volume of 4K data quickly and accurately while reducing noise.
  • 4:2:2 10-bit

WIDE 25MM*2 ANGLE

The integrated lens boasts the industry's widest angle of 25 mm at the wide-angle setting. It enables wide-angle shooting with little distortion, without the use of a wide conversion lens and also allows video recording/production in narrow spaces.

24X OPTICAL ZOOM, 48X (FHD) / 32X (UHD), I.ZOOM

Covers the range of 25.0mm wide angle to ultra-telephoto 600mm at UHD/FHD. (35mm film camera equivalent) The i.Zoom function increases the zooming capability to a maximum of approximately 48x FHD (32x UHD) while maintaining the beauty of high-definition image quality.

TWO MANUAL RINGS AND ND FILTER

The AG-CX10 comes with two manual rings for zoom, focus and iris control. The zoom speed can be varied by applying pressure to the zoom seesaw switch on the body.

Built-in ND filters can be selected (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, or OFF) in order to match the shooting environment and suppress the amount of incident light.

KEEP YOUR OBJECT IN FOCUS

4K High-precision AF and Focus Assist Functions

Exclusive high-precision Auto Focus (AF) provides high-speed, accurate face detection and focusing for both 4K and Full HD shooting.

The camcorder supports a wide variety of Focus Assist functions for precise capture of the subjects. The functions includeFace Detection AF/AE Using Colour, Area Function, One-push AF, Expand and Peaking.

5-AXIS HYBRID O.I.S. (UHD/FHD)

The built-in Hybrid image stabilizer ensures powerful camera shake compensation in five axial directions including rotational blurring in all modes. Thanks to this functionality powerful camera shake compensation is made possible in low-angle shooting, high-angle shooting and all other unstable conditions. There are three modes to choose from: NORMAL (standard), STABLE (effective for fixed-frame shooting) and PAN/TILT (effective in panning and tilting).

VERSATILE RECORDING MODES

4:2:0 10-bit (4K/60P), 4:2:2 10-bit (4K/30P)
  • With 4:2:2 10-bit sampling, LongGOP (150 Mbps) can acquire a maximum 29.98p/25p UHD and a maximum 59.97p/50p FHD.
  • High-efficiency codec: Maximum 200 Mbps (4K 59.94p)/150Mbps(4K 29.97p)
New, highly-efficient HEVC recording
  • Featuring a high-efficiency new codec HEVC (4:2:0 10-bit)
  • Smooth reproduction is possible with software such as a free VLC Media Player or QuickTime Player.*3

SUPER SLOW MOTION 120/100FPS (FHD, MOV)

You can achieve a Super-Slow Motion effect by highspeed HD recording at 120 fps (59.94 Hz) or 100 fps (50 Hz). The image area is not cropped even at high frame rates.

IR SHOOTING

The IR Cut Filter can be turned ON/OFF (allocated on the User button). When the filter is turned OFF, IR lights (commercially available) can be used for shooting in dark places.

DELIVER YOUR CONTENT FASTER

Wireless and Wired Remote Control

Built-in Wi-Fi. A 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi module is built-in, so there is no need to purchase a separate wireless LAN module. Wi-Fi connection is possible using only the main unit.

WIRED REMOTE

Equipped with a REMOTE terminal (2.5 mm super mini jack) for remote operation of iris, focus, zoom and REC start/stop.

FULL HD LIVE STREAMING

RTMP/RTSP-Compatible HD Streaming. You can use the AG-CX10 for live coverage of concerts and sports events as well as for live streaming of breaking news. There is also support for Facebook, YouTube, and other streaming services.

While streaming, recording (MOV) onto SD cards in the camera is also possible.

EASY IP CONNECTION: PREINSTALLED NDI | HX*4

The camcorder is equipped with NDI | HX mode*4, which allows video transmission and camera control via IP connection, without using an external converter. The camera can be seamlessly built into larger systems working alongside Panasonic PTZ camera systems equipped with NDI | HX and the Live Production Center AV-HLC100.

3G-SDI FOR CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL 1080/60P, 1080/50P RECORDER

The 3G-SDI output terminal (BNC connector, 5CFV) can be used to transmit FHD 1080/60p, 1080/50p signals through a coaxial cable over a distance of up to 100 m.

WIRELESS CONTROL FROM A TABLET OR SMARTPHONE

You can use the tablet/smartphone*2 with the HC ROP (available for free on App Store or Google Play) for wireless remote control.
The app can be used to select the camera to control from up to eight cameras.

ENHANCE CAMERA IMAGE

Professional Camera Image Adjustment Functions

8-Mode Gamma

Gamma can be selected from eight modes, including two Cine-Like modes developed based on VariCam know-how. Desired gradation can be achieved to suit specific video production needs.

16-Axis Independent Colour Correction Function

You can adjust each of the 16 image phases individually. This enables colour matching of multiple cameras under the same lighting conditions as well as creative image rendering.

Skin Tone Detail

Makes skin colours appear softly and beautifully. Especially effective when recording the person up close.

FUNCTIONS AND DESIGNS TO SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL CAMERA WORK

Technical Notes:
  1. 35mm camera equivalent
  2. 35mm film equipment
  3. Depending on the built-in storage or memory environment, video images may not be smoothly reproduced.
  4. NDI: Network Device Interface, a technology of NewTek, Inc.. To use this function, an activation keycode from NewTek is required.

Industry's Smallest and Lightest 4K 60p Director's Camcorder

While excelling in mobility and portability, the compact body considers the weight balance of the advanced functions when shooting.

Wide 25mm* and Optical 24x Zoom Lens

The lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom. i.ZOOM achieves 32x zoom with 4K resolution, and 48x zoom with FHD.

* 35mm camera equivalent.

4K High-Precision AF

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.

HYBRID O.I.S.

In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilisation, Electronic Image Stabilisation detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction in the drive section, especially improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring.

Heat-Dispersing Design

A new ultrathin fan disperses heat in a camcorder with integrated lens and 4K 60p recording. It is the industry's smallest and lightest unit with low power consumption.

Built-in LED Video Light

The video light is extremely bright (70 lx at 1 meter) for reliable shooting in dimly lit places. The Dimming Dial on the handle can be used to easily dim the brightness from 30%-100%.
