AVCHD Format Recording: Superior Quality, Efficiency and Reliability

And Exclusive PH Mode for the Highest Bit Rate

High-end AVCHD Image Quality

High Bit Rate of the Pro-use PH Mode

The AG-HMC40 features the image-enhancing PH mode that Panasonic

developed exclusively for AVCCAM camcorders. It delivers a maximum

AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mbps (average: 21 Mbps). Designed for professional

image production, this mode lets you record 1080/30p, 1080/24p and 720

progressive images in addition to 1080/60i from the AG-HMC40's 1920 x

1080 full-raster HD images.

Ease, Efficiency, Reliability

Large-capacity SDHC Memory Card

Unlike with videotape, there's no need for cueing with the SDHC memory card

because recording automatically begins in a blank section of memory. Nor do

you have to worry about accidentally recording over important footage. You can

delete unwanted clips instantly right on the spot to preserve memory capacity.

Editing after shooting is smooth and easy, with no need for digitizing. The tiny

SDHC Memory Card is durable, too. Its operating range is from -13ºF to +185ºF

(-25ºC to +85ºC), so you can stop worrying about harsh temperatures or

condensation and just concentrate on your shooting. And of course, you never

have to worry about problems with dropouts or clogged heads.

•Using the high compression efficiency of the AVCHD format, up to 720

minutes*

of HD data can be recorded onto a single SDHC Memory Card.

•Combined with a maximum data transfer speed of 22 MB/s,*

this makes

data transfers to computers easy and effortless.

•SDHC Memory Cards are inexpensive and can be easily purchased on

location when needed.

*1 In HE (extended time) mode using a 32GB SDHC Memory Card. A Class 4 or higher SDHC or

SD Memory Card is required for PH and HA recording. Use a Class 2 or higher SDHC or SD

Memory Card for other modes. (Panasonic SDHC or SD Memory Cards are recommended.)

*2 Data transfer speed varies depending on the usage of SD devices. The speed given here is the

maximum speed according to Panasonic specifications.

AVCHD Format for High-quality,

Efficient HD Recording

This format complies with the latest H.264 motion image compression

standard, and employs the High Profile standard to improve compression

efficiency. Featuring twice the compression efficiency of HDV (MPEG-2), the

AG-HMC40 achieves extended HD recording.

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Technologies

•Intra-frame Prediction

•Variable Block Size Motion Compensation

•Loop Filter Prevents the Propagation of Compression Distortion

•New Entropy Encoding 'CABAC'

Versatile Solid-state Recording Functions

•

Shot mark

To simplify shot selection, you can add a mark to the thumbnail images of

each clip. You can then display and play only the clips that have shot marks.

•

Pre-REC

This helps to ensure you always get the shot you want, by letting you

continuously store, and subsequently record, images and sounds for

three seconds before the REC button is pressed in standby mode.

•

REC check

You can check the end of the most

recently recorded clip with one-touch ease.

•

Last clip delete

Only the most recently recorded clip is deleted

with this one-touch function, adding practical

convenience to everyday operation. It can be

assigned as a User button function if desired.

•

Meta-data recording

The date, camera operator, location, title and other information can be

added to the video data.

The manual focus ring can be used to control the iris too, by switching the

Focus Ring (Focus/Iris) selector. Use it whichever way best fits the shooting

situation. For example, you can set the camera to Auto Focus and use the

manual focus ring to control the zooming. You can also add backlight

correction or spotlight correction to the auto aperture function.

*Use the menu to select whether the ring controls the iris or the zoom.
