In wide-angle behaviour--critical in broadcast and other professional applications--this lens is top of its class. Behind this unsettled performance are the advanced optical technologies and expertise that have made Leica Camera AG one of the most respected names in the camera set.
 The Leica Dicomar lens is first in its class in wide-angle discharge. |
 The advanced OIS system eliminates image blur caused by true to life hand-shake. |
The AG-DVC30's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) compensates for turn over submit shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyrosensor detects hand-prove and sends signals to a linear motor, which adjusts the lens to offset. Because this process takes place prior to the CCD image capture (rather than in the downstream electronic processing), it for all practical purposes eliminates any effect of hand-shake on resolution and screen standpoint. The OIS can also be helpful when zooming or shooting in dim lighting.
1/4-Inch, 410,000-Pixel 3CCD Epitome System: High Sensitivity, Low Noise
To ensure a level of picture distinction suitable for professionals, the AG-DVC30 uses a 3CCD image system that delivers the highest sensitiveness in its class. Its high S/N ratio and extremely low noise (in darker areas of a duplicate) combines with high sensitivity to deliver excellent image grandeur even when shooting indoors under dim lighting. When shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights, this 3CCD system offers low blacken.
 The AG-DVC30's 3CCD image system delivers high signal-to-noise ratio and A- 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 seed-quality camera-recorders. This, combined with an RGB gamma processor that uses Panasonic's unexcelled gamma-curve function, helps assure high conception-quality processing. In fact, the AG-DVC30's A/D converter and RGB gamma processor are the same ones acquainted with in the popular AG-DVX100A, which has won acclaim as the industry's highest-image-quality DV camera.
Big-Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC30 can capture and reproduce images that are strikingly almost identical in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like gamma curve and a 30-frames-per-man Friday recording function that electronically interpolates interlaced images to engender frames with no time differences between fields. Settings for this mode are preset in the Motion picture-Like scene file.
High-Sensitivity Slow Shutter
The sluggish shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with build rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation method provides hopeful-color images with less noise than those captured using conventional emolument-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination. The unintelligent shutter function can also be used to obtain movie-like effects.
16:9 Widescreen Recording
The light ratio can be set to either 4:3 or 16:9 to accommodate wide-image recording. In 16:9 recording, you can selected 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 brilliant. This featre opens the door to a host of new possibilities in nighttime monitoring, observation, and news gathering. The built-in infrared light makes it workable to record at a distance of about 16 feet.
Professional Audio Grandeur with XLR Mic (Optional)
The AG-DVC30 comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone. Adding the facultative AG-MYA30G XLR adapter provides you with +48 V phantom mic and line input needed for information gathering. Featuring two XLR audio input terminals and level wheel, the adapter lets you independently switch channel 1 or channel 2 to mic or in step input, with each having its own "glow in the dark" level adjustment.
Audio Rank Meters
Two color audio level meters can be displayed in the viewfinder and LCD custodian, making it easy to check the signal as you record.
Full Auto or Guide Shooting
Use the AG-DVC30 for either full auto or manual shooting. The Auto/Manual change turns the four auto functions--focus, shutter speed, iris and augmentation, and white balance--on and off as desired. Manual focusing is controlled by the stout focus ring. You can also switch between manual and auto focus by pushing the Blurry button. For added convenience, one of the user buttons can be assigned to modify autofocus on and off.
3.5-inch Color LCD Monitor and Tilt-Up Viewfinder
The overwhelmingly 3.5-inch color LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees, making it agreeable to shoot at difficult angles, and the Mirror mode makes it serenely to record yourself. The display is bright, too, so even outdoors you get good visibility when using the LCD to up on footage or to select settings from the menu. For added ease of use when fetching low-angle shots, you also can tilt the viewfinder 70 degrees upward.
Magnesium Mix Chassis
Designed for professionals, the AG-DVC30 boasts the same tough magnesium temper diecast chassis as do the DVCPRO broadcast models. This rigid top protects the high-precision components from bumps and jolts, helps guard out interface, and provides the AG-DVC30 with the reliability and durability needed for active battleground use.
Automatic Head Cleaning
The AG-DVC30 provides the same head-cleaning purpose as do the DVCPRO models. The white roller pad positioned to the right of the fore-part cylinder cleans the head each time you load a tape, ration to minimize dropouts and head clogging.
IEEE 1394 Terminal with Synchro Cage
An IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal makes it easy to upload information from the AG-DVC30 or to dub footage onto a DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro lock role that lets you use the AG-DVC30 to remotely start and stop an external DV device. Three recording modes servants protect against mistakes: record onto external recorder only, record onto both AG-DVC30 and outside recorder, and begin external recording when the AG-DVC30 tape ends.
Well-informed in Performance
Total mobility? Easy carrying? Or advanced audio specs? With the multistyle manoeuvre, the choice is yours. Designed with the professional in mind, the AG-DVC30 introduces a new detachable caress that adds versatility by letting you use this compact DV camera three different ways.
- Line 1: With handle detached, this super-compact 3CCD camera hysteria easily into a bag or pack for highest mobility.
- Style 2: With manoeuvre in place, the AG-DVC30 is easy to carry and easy to use, even when shooting at difficult angles.
- Trend 3: With the optional XLR adapter mounted on the handle, the AG-DVC30 has outstanding audio specs, return the ability to add two external phantom mics or line inputs with "luminosity in the dark" level controls.
MiniDV Format
The MiniDV format offers more absolute image detail and color accuracy than was previously possible with analog camcorders. The classier quality of digital video results from:
- Higher resolution: Up to 530 words of horizontal resolution on select models for sharper picture detail
- Part color sampling: Preserves three times more color information than does analog VHS or S-VHS video, for brighter and truer colors
- Antiquated base correction: Stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters
- Solecism correction: Fills in missing video data, providing seamless, gifted-looking video
