Handy, Easy Shooting with
a Level of Image Quality That Rivals
Many Shoulder-Type Models

New to the Panasonic AVCCAM lineup, the AG-AC120EN
Memory Card Camera Recorder offers a host of advanced
functions. The lens and both camera and recorder sections
have been significantly evolved by incorporating cutting-edge
technologies. The newly developed 22x zoom lens boasts a
wide field of view and operability much like an interchangeable
lens. The high-sensitivity, low-noise, high-resolution 1/3-type

2.2-megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra Luminance Technology) MOS
image sensor and professional AVCHD PH mode ensure high­quality Full-HD 1920 x 1080 recording. The AG-AC120EN
also has a DV (SD)* recording mode, further expanding its
operability. And superb cost-performance is achieved by a
simple design that offers the same high performance as
higher-end models, without a viewfinder. These and other
features allow the AG-AC120EN to support a wide range of
needs, from professional image production to news gathering.

*DV files are recorded onto an SD memory card.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AVCCAM MEMORY CAMERA RECORDER FOR PROFESSIONAL USE

Packed with Panasonic Optical Technology

The high-performance zoom lens was developed specifically for
professional HD video production. While inheriting the wide-angle
capabilities of the DVX and HMC Series, it adds the same level of
operating ease as you'd expect from an interchangeable lens model
for broadcasting and other professional uses. Zooming from 28mm
to 616mm (35mm equivalent), this 22x zoom lens covers a wide field
of view, from wide-angle to telephoto, without a conversion lens.

Three Manual Rings — Zoom, Focus, Iris

The lens unit is provided with three rings — a mechanical
(cam-driven) zoom ring, a focus ring, and an iris ring. The positive
operating feel of these rings gives you manual control similar to an
interchangeable lens.

Optical Image Stabilizer, Digital Zoom, ND Filter

• Hand-shake correction with the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS).

• A Digital Zoom function that can be assigned to a user button for

2x, 5x, and 10x magnification. In combination with the optical zoom,
this function provides a telephoto capability up to 220x.

• Four-position optical ND filter wheel.

High-Sensitivity, 2.2-Megapixel U.L.T. Image Sensor

The AG-AC120EN features the same Ultra Luminance Technology
(U.L.T.) 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel 3MOS image sensor that is
incorporated in our shoulder-type P2HD camera recorders. This
advanced image sensor is set to maximize the performance of the lens
and signal processing circuit under standard shooting conditions.

High-End Camera Image Settings

• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch) suppresses blocked shadows and

blown highlights.

• 3-position gain selector plus Super Gain of +24 dB/+30 dB*.

• Selectable 7-mode gamma settings including the CINE-LIKE

5600 K and VARIABLE, which ranges between P2.4K and P9.9K.

*+24 dB and +30 dB can be assigned to an user button only.
