Amazon.com Result Description The AG-DVC30's Leica Dicomar 16x optical zoom lens answers a unspecific range of shooting needs, delivering superb results from 39.5mm roomy angle all the way to 632mm telephoto (both 35mm lens equivalents). In wide-position performance--critical in broadcast and other professional applications--this lens is top of its elegance. Behind this outstanding performance are the advanced optical technologies and expertise that have made Leica Camera AG one of the most respected names in the camera earth.

The Leica Dicomar lens is first in its class in wide-angle presentation. |
This new 16x optical zoom lens system uses low-dispersion glass and aspherical lenses to degrade color aberration and boost resolution. Use of a special multicoating convert dramatically reduces flare and ghosts. The result: sharp, frizzy, beautifully rendered pictures with vivid colors, delicate nuances, and deficient shading.

The advanced OIS system eliminates image blur caused by artist hand-shake. |
Optical Image Stabilizer Compensates for Not incongruous Hand-Shake The AG-DVC30's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) compensates for relief shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyrosensor detects hand-brush off and sends signals to a linear motor, which adjusts the lens to indemnify. Because this process takes place prior to the CCD image capture (rather than in the downstream electronic processing), it less eliminates any effect of hand-shake on resolution and screen edge. The OIS can also be helpful when zooming or shooting in dim lighting.
1/4-Inch, 410,000-Pixel 3CCD Allusion System: High Sensitivity, Low Noise
To ensure a level of picture superiority suitable for professionals, the AG-DVC30 uses a 3CCD image system that delivers the highest touchiness in its class. Its high S/N ratio and extremely low noise (in darker areas of a idea) combines with high sensitivity to deliver excellent image importance even when shooting indoors under dim lighting. When shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights, this 3CCD system offers low splotch.

The AG-DVC30's 3CCD image system delivers high signal-to-noise ratio and other than 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 show-quality camera-recorders. This, combined with an RGB gamma processor that uses Panasonic's incomparable gamma-curve function, helps assure high picture-quality processing. In fact, the AG-DVC30's A/D converter and RGB gamma processor are the same ones utilized in the popular AG-DVX100A, which has won acclaim as the industry's highest-image-quality DV camera.
Flicks-Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC30 can capture and reproduce images that are strikingly comparable in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like gamma curve and a 30-frames-per-surrogate 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 sluggish shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with skeleton rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation method provides brilliant-color images with less noise than those captured using conventional get-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination. The unpunctually shutter function can also be used to obtain movie-like effects.
16:9 Widescreen Recording
The characteristic ratio can be set to either 4:3 or 16:9 to accommodate wide-image recording. In 16:9 recording, you can first-class 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 the human race's first 3CCD camcorder to offer black-and-white recording in the dark using infrared appear. 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 attainable to record at a distance of about 16 feet.
Professional Audio Dignity with XLR Mic (Optional)
The AG-DVC30 comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone. Adding the non-requisite AG-MYA30G XLR adapter provides you with +48 V phantom mic and line input needed for expos gathering. Featuring two XLR audio input terminals and level wheel, the adapter lets you independently switch channel 1 or channel 2 to mic or cortege input, with each having its own "glow in the dark" level adjustment.
Audio Uniform Meters
Two color audio level meters can be displayed in the viewfinder and LCD audit, making it easy to check the signal as you record.
Full Auto or Vade-mecum Shooting
Use the AG-DVC30 for either full auto or manual shooting. The Auto/Manual reversal turns the four auto functions--focus, shutter speed, iris and improve, and white balance--on and off as desired. Manual focusing is controlled by the beneficent focus ring. You can also switch between manual and auto focus by pushing the Cynosure clear button. For added convenience, one of the user buttons can be assigned to axe autofocus on and off.
3.5-inch Color LCD Monitor and Tilt-Up Viewfinder
The brawny 3.5-inch color LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees, making it elementary to shoot at difficult angles, and the Mirror mode makes it indulgent to record yourself. The display is bright, too, so even outdoors you get good visibility when using the LCD to check out 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 Diminish Chassis
Designed for professionals, the AG-DVC30 boasts the same tough magnesium compound diecast chassis as do the DVCPRO broadcast models. This rigid layer protects the high-precision components from bumps and jolts, helps shield out interface, and provides the AG-DVC30 with the reliability and stamina needed for active field use.
Automatic Head Cleaning
The AG-DVC30 provides the same MD-cleaning function as do the DVCPRO models. The white roller pad positioned to the principled of the head cylinder cleans the head each time you load a fillet, helping to minimize dropouts and head clogging.
IEEE 1394 Connection with Synchro Lock
An IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal makes it calmly to upload data from the AG-DVC30 or to dub footage onto a DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro implant function that lets you use the AG-DVC30 to remotely start and stop an external DV machinery. Three recording modes help protect against mistakes: record onto visible recorder only, record onto both AG-DVC30 and external recorder, and begin external recording when the AG-DVC30 cassette ends.
Versatile Performance
Total mobility? Easy vehicle? Or advanced audio specs? With the multistyle handle, the choice is yours. Intended with the professional in mind, the AG-DVC30 introduces a new detachable handle that adds versatility by letting you use this epigrammatic DV camera three different ways.
- Style 1: With handle cut off, this super-compact 3CCD camera fits easily into a bag or pack for highest mobility.
- Category 2: With handle in place, the AG-DVC30 is easy to carry and easy to use, even when shooting at complex angles.
- Style 3: With the optional XLR adapter mounted on the hold, the AG-DVC30 has outstanding audio specs, plus the ability to add two external chimera mics or line inputs with "glow in the dark" level tiller.
MiniDV Format
The MiniDV format offers more precise image detail and color Loosely precision than was previously possible with analog camcorders. The superior quality of digital video results from:
- Higher precision: Up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution on select models for sharper look-alike detail
- Component color sampling: Preserves three times more color advice than does analog VHS or S-VHS video, for brighter and truer colors
- Pass base correction: Stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters
- Offence correction: Fills in missing video data, providing seamless, skilful-looking video
