- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.5” (5.76 x 4.29 mm)
- Effective Pixels: 8.29 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: HC-VX3K
- Product Name: 4K 24x Optical Zoom Digital Camcorder
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: BSI CMOS (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.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.5” (5.76 x 4.29 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 24x (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.)
- Image Stabilization: Hybrid (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 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): AVCHD, MP4 (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
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/1.8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/4 (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: 734 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 / Indoor1 / Indoor2 (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: 25 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
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 4:3 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4, AVCHD (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.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Integrated Speaker(s): true
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Microphone Type: Built-in (stereo)
- Power
- Rechargeable Battery: true
- Battery Life (up to): 1 hours (Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration, product model, applications loaded on the product, power management setting of the product and the product features used by the customer. As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and usage.)
- 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.)
