premium model with professional functions and specifications

for high-end users.

This model is equipped with a newly designed compact lens

featuring a wide 24mm angle and 20x optical zoom as well as a

1.0-type (effective size) high-sensitivity MOS sensor. Its evolved

Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) and intelligent AF function

suitable for professional camera work.

The AG-UX180 supports 4K 24p, UHD 60p/50p, FHD 60p/50p

multi-format recording and HD super slow-motion. Two SD

memory card slots*

backup recording for enhanced reliability, and also support

UHD/FHD*

dual codec recording for a more efficient workflow.

The controls of the AG-UX180, such as the manual three rings

and user button, as well as interfaces, such as 3G-SDI/HDMI

and XLR input, are engineered to meet the needs of

professional video recording. Offering the same level of agility

and mobility as the conventional HD handheld camcorder, the

AG-UX180 provides powerful support for high-image-quality

4K video production.

LEICA DICOMAR 4K Lens with Wide-Angle 24mm*1 and 20x Optical Zoom, Plus Evolved Built-in Optical Image Stabilizer

Lens group 2 Iris

4-Drive Lens System

The 4-Drive Lens System simultaneously and independently drives 4 lens groups (group 2, iris, group 3, group 4). The lens size and drive range for each of the 4 groups can be efficiently suppressed to optimize image quality/zoom power and achieve compact body.

Industry's Widest Angle of 24 mm*1

The integrated lens boasts the industry’s widest angle of 24 mm*1 at the wide-angle setting. It enables wide-angle and minimal-distortion shooting without the use of a wide conversion lens and also allows video recording/production in a vehicle or room for example.

*1: 35 mm film equivalent. Varies depending on the video recording format. 4K/24p: 24.0 mm (17:9 aspect ratio), UHD/FHD: 25.4 mm (16:9 aspect ratio).

20x Optical Zoom

Intelligent Zoom for Maximum 30x Zoom in Super-High Resolution

In FHD shooting modes, the i.Zoom function increases the zooming capability to a maximum of approximately 30x while maintaining high resolution. When the zoom reaches the 20x optical zoom limit it switches seamlessly to i.Zoom.

The AG-UX180 features manual three rings for Zoom, Focus and Iris control. These manual controls ensures professional operation.

Digital Zoom (2x, 5x or 10x)

The AG-UX180 is equipped with 2x, 5x and 10x digital zoom. Using the 20x optical zoom and i.Zoom together, it gives you supertelephoto magnification equivalent to a 300x zoom without dropping in light intensity.

* The higher the magnification, the greater the image quality degradation.

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer [4K/UHD/FHD]

The correction area of the Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) has been expanded to approximately 900%* over the conventional area (as compared to the Panasonic AG-AC160). This provides powerful correction even in unstable shooting situations, such as low-angle or high-angle shots. The ball OIS system reduces wear on the drive section, and greatly improves correction for smallamplitude hand-shake. * Excluding the 4K 24p mode.
