Key Specs
Effective Pixels: 8.29 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
General
Product Name: 4K Ultra HD Flash Memory Camcorder
Brand: Panasonic
Model Number: HC-WX970K
Color: Black
Imaging
Image Sensor Type: Other (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
Digital Zoom: 60x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
Optical Zoom: 20x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
Focus
Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic/manual
Focus Modes: Automatic/manual
Exposure Control
Maximum Aperture: 1.8 f/ (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
Maximum Focal Length: 81.6 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
White Balance Modes: Auto, white set, sunny, cloudy, indoor 1, indoor 2 (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
Effective Pixels: 8.29 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Lens
Minimum Focal Length: 4.08 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
Display
Display Type: LCD touch screen
Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
Video
Slow Motion Recording: false
Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
Compatibility
Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
Features
Action Camera: false
Integrated Speaker(s): true
Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
Connectivity
Output(s): HDMI
Microphone Type: 5.1-channel surround, zoom, focus and stereo
Microphone Input: true (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)
Headphone Jack: true (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
Power

AC Adapter Compatible: true (The device is able to be charged using an external power adapter which meets input and output voltages specified by the manufacturer.)
Removable Battery: true
Battery Size: Battery pack (The battery size required for operation.)
Included
Batteries Included: true (Indicates whether the product comes with the required batteries for its operation.)
AC Adapter Included: true (An external power adapter is included for operation.)
Remote Control Included: false
