Cine-Like Gamma (Eight-Mode Gamma)
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has
equipped the AG-HPX502 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.

1080/480 24p Advance Mode
When recording in 1080/24p or 480/24p at 60 Hz, the AG-HPX502
lets you select 24pA (Advance) mode. In this mode, it performs 60i
conversion using 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which maintains higher image
quality than ordinary 24p (2:3 pulldown) in nonlinear editing*. In 30p
and 25p recording (at 50 Hz), the AG-HPX502 uses 2:2 pulldown.

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-HPX502 also features a synchro scan function for capturing
screen shots from a computer monitor.
Scene File Dial
Set this dial for a set of shooting conditions, and later you can
instantly retrieve the settings when needed. Six preset files are
provided, and you can change any of the six file names and their
settings as desired. You can also transfer the setting files to an SD
Memory Card for loading into another AG-HPX502 so the cameras
will match.
Shooting Assist Functions
• Three User Buttons: Assign a function to each, and then you can
select those chosen functions with pushbutton ease.
• Focus Assist: Facilitates focusing using a very effective histogram
display.
• Eight chromatic aberration correction(CAC) files (fixed) and four
shading correction files support a variety of interchangeable
lenses.
• Color temperature can be adjusted after the white balance is set.
• Rec Review function for easy checking of recorded results
• 4-position optical neutral density filter wheel
