1/4-Inch, 410,000-Pixel 3CCD Double System: High Sensitivity, Low Noise
To ensure a level of picture grandeur suitable for professionals, the AG-DVC30 uses a 3CCD image system that delivers the highest appreciation in its class. Its high S/N ratio and extremely low noise (in darker areas of a personification) combines with high sensitivity to deliver excellent image value even when shooting indoors under dim lighting. When shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights, this 3CCD system offers low besmirch.
 The AG-DVC30's 3CCD image system delivers high signal-to-noise ratio and first-rate image quality. |
12-bit A/D and RGB Gamma Processor
The AG-DVC30 features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit processing as programme-quality camera-recorders. This, combined with an RGB gamma processor that uses Panasonic's unequalled gamma-curve function, helps assure high epitome-quality processing. In fact, the AG-DVC30's A/D converter and RGB gamma processor are the same ones cast-off in the popular AG-DVX100A, which has won acclaim as the industry's highest-image-quality DV camera.
Film-Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC30 can capture and reproduce images that are strikingly like in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like gamma curve and a 30-frames-per-alternative recording function that electronically interpolates interlaced images to fabricate frames with no time differences between fields. Settings for this mode are preset in the Film-Like scene file.
High-Sensitivity Slow Shutter
The take it easy shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with plan rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation method provides lustrous-color images with less noise than those captured using conventional gain ground-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination. The ease up shutter function can also be used to obtain movie-like effects.
16:9 Widescreen Recording
The exposure ratio can be set to either 4:3 or 16:9 to accommodate wide-image recording. In 16:9 recording, you can single out either letterbox or squeeze mode, giving you more possibilities in downstream editing and playback.

Zero Lux IR Mode: Super Nighttime Shooting System
The AG-DVC30 is the exultant's first 3CCD camcorder to offer black-and-white recording in the dark using infrared lissom. This featre opens the door to a host of new possibilities in nighttime monitoring, reconnaissance, and news gathering. The built-in infrared light makes it doable to record at a distance of about 16 feet.
Professional Audio Grade with XLR Mic (Optional)
The AG-DVC30 comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone. Adding the discretionary AG-MYA30G XLR adapter provides you with +48 V phantom mic and line input needed for tidings gathering.

Manual focusing is controlled by the unfettered focus ring. You can also switch between manual and auto focus by pushing the Meet button. For added convenience, one of the user buttons can be assigned to veer autofocus on and off.
3.5-inch Color LCD Monitor and Tilt-Up Viewfinder
The monumental 3.5-inch color LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees, making it light to shoot at difficult angles, and the Mirror mode makes it credulous to record yourself. The display is bright, too, so even outdoors you get good visibility when using the LCD to scan footage or to select settings from the menu. For added ease of use when prepossessing low-angle shots, you also can tilt the viewfinder 70 degrees upward.
Magnesium Pollute Chassis
Designed for professionals, the AG-DVC30 boasts the same tough magnesium pollute diecast chassis as do the DVCPRO broadcast models. This rigid cover protects the high-precision components from bumps and jolts, helps defence out interface, and provides the AG-DVC30 with the reliability and durability needed for active meadow use.
Automatic Head Cleaning
The AG-DVC30 provides the same head-cleaning use as do the DVCPRO models. The white roller pad positioned to the right of the aptitude cylinder cleans the head each time you load a tape, help to minimize dropouts and head clogging.
IEEE 1394 PC = 'personal computer' with Synchro Lock
An IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal makes it untroubled to upload data from the AG-DVC30 or to dub footage onto a DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro tress function that lets you use the AG-DVC30 to remotely start and stop an external DV cadency mark. Three recording modes help protect against mistakes: record onto exterior recorder only, record onto both AG-DVC30 and external recorder, and begin external recording when the AG-DVC30 spool ends.
Versatile Performance
Total mobility? Easy means of transport? Or advanced audio specs? With the multistyle handle, the choice is yours. Meant with the professional in mind, the AG-DVC30 introduces a new detachable handle that adds versatility by letting you use this consolidated DV camera three different ways.
