Cine-like Functions

The gamma, variable frame rate and other advanced functions let you capture images with a

cinema-like feel, expanding your creative and expressive possibilities.

7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has

equipped the AG-HPX300 with advanced gamma functions that address

seven different shooting scenarios and enhance your creative abilities.

This includes the Cine-Like Gamma, which produces the characteristic tone

of film recordings.

AG-HPX300 Gamma Modes

HD NORM:

Suitable for standard HD recording

LOW:

Works to flatten out a high contrast scene

SD NORM:

Normal setting for SD

HIGH:

Provides more contrast and color gradation

B.PRESS:

Provides more contrast and blacks in low contrast scenes

CINE-LIKE D: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range

CINE-LIKE V:

The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast

HD NORM Mode

20-Step Variable Frame Rate

Like the VariCam, the AG-HPX300 allows undercranking and overcranking

common in film cameras, to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects. In

720p mode,* the frame rate can be set to any of 20 steps.

*In 1080 and 480 modes, the frame rate can be set only to 24p or 30p.

• Normal cinematic shooting (at 24 fps or 30 fps) refers to the same rate as

used in film cameras. The AG-HPX300 can record in 1080/24p or 480/24p

(over 60i) mode, as well as 720/24p mode. 30 fps is the standard frame rate

used in the production of TV commercials, music videos and video

software. The AG-HPX300 can also record in 1080/30p or 480/30p (over

60i) mode, as well as 720/30p mode.

• Higher-speed shooting (at over 25 fps*) produces slow-motion effects.

This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car chases or crashes,

or to create a dramatic impact in a scene.

* When the standard speed is 24 fps. For a standard speed of 30 fps, anything over 32 fps will be

overcranked.

• Lower-speed shooting (at under 22 fps*) lets you attain a fast-motion

effect. This technique can be combined with a warp-speed effect to give

special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds, etc.

* When the standard speed is 24 fps. For a standard speed of 30 fps, anything under 28 fps will be

undercranked.

Shown above is a sample of operation style.
