Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter

Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create

a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action.

The AG-HPX500 series also features a synchro scan function for

capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.

Cine-Like Gamma (Eight-Mode Gamma)

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has

equipped the AG-HPX500 series with advanced gamma functions

that address eight different shooting scenarios and expand your

creative abilities. Included are Cine-Like Gamma, which gives

recordings the characteristic warm tone of film recordings, and a

News Gamma that's designed especially for news gathering.
