Introduction

GY-HM700 series, this camera recorder enables more stable shooting while maintaining the same weight as handheld models.

F11 Sensitivity, 1/3-inch Full HD 3CMOS Sensors

This camera recorder is equipped with three 1/3inch 2.07M pixels full HD CMOS sensors. It delivers high image quality with a high color resolution through the processing of individual R, G, B color signals. 12-bit signal processing and the new 2D DNR removes dark current and optical shot noise without losing S/N and high resolution, thereby achieving high F11 sensitivity.

It ensures high magnification of 29 mm at wide ends, and provides high sensitivity across all regions with F1.6-3.0. This interchangeable lens comes with an autofocus (AF) and Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) function, allowing for stable focusing when used as a shoulder-carry camera recorder. In addition to the central area, it also comes with a face-detection autofocus feature, and supports switching to manual focusing. The zoom ring with zoom ring pin enables zooming from the wide end to the tele end in 90 degrees. Focus and iris control are also possible using separate rings.

4-position ND Filter

Two SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Dual, Backup and Series Recording

The most common SDHC/SDXC card recording system is used as the memory card. This ensures reliability and operation at low running cost. Various user friendly recording systems are also available. These include dual recording of the same file to two cards, and using REC/STBY to break up video clips in one card while performing backup recording to the other card.

Diverse simultaneous recording combinations (HD and SD, HD and Proxy Video, etc.)

This camera recorder is equipped with a proxy video (960x540: MOV, 480x270: MOV, 1440x1080: AVCHD) recording function that is convenient for network distribution. Further enhancements were made to the dual recording feature, allowing for HD recording to one of the SDHC/SDXC cards, and SD or proxy video recording to the other card at the same time.

This is not recorded on the SD card. They will not appear after you turn the power off and then on again. o If you use this unit in a cold place, the images may appear to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction. Retained images are not recorded on the SD card. o Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the screens. o Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between the live video and playback images. o Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device, colors may appear on the images when you blink your eyes. It does not affect the recorded images, SDI output, or HDMI output.

Introduction

Precautions for Proper Use

SDHC/SDXC Cards

Groove

o SDHC/SDXC card is referred to as “SD card” in this manual. o This camera recorder saves the recorded images and audio sound on the SD card (sold separately) in the card slot.

Introduction

o Use an SD card (4 GB to 128 GB) with Class 6 or higher performance, formatted using this camera recorder.

* Depending on the recording format, SD card with

Class 4 or higher performance can also be used. Some recording formats supports only the use of cards with Class 10 or higher.

(A P50 [Selecting a Recording Format] )

* Using cards other than those from Panasonic,

TOSHIBA or SanDisk may result in recording failure or data loss.

o If the SD card contains files recorded by devices other than this camera recorder or files that are saved from a PC, the recordable time may be shorter or data may not be properly recorded. In addition, the remaining space on the card may not increase even when files are deleted using a PC.

Handling of SD Cards

o The status indicator lights up in red when data on the SD card is being accessed. Do not remove the SD card during data access (such as recording, playback, or formatting). Do not turn off the power or remove the battery and AC adapter during access either. o Do not use or store the SD card in a place that is subject to static electricity or electrical noise. o Do not place the SD card near locations that are exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves. o Inserting the SD card incorrectly may result in damage of this unit or the SD card. o We are not liable for any accidental loss of data stored on the SD card. Please back up any important data. o Make use of the SD card within the prescribed conditions of use. Do not use it at the following locations. Places that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or corrosion, places near thermal equipment, sandy or dusty places, or in a car under the sun with the doors and windows closed. o Do not bend or drop the SD card, or subject it to strong impact or vibration.

o Do not splash the SD card with water. o Do not dismantle or modify the SD card. o Do not touch the terminals with your hands or
