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.
