The progressive 3MOS image sensors record full-HD images with a total, 
3.05-megapixel (approx.) resolution [effective motion-image resolution of 
2.51 megapixels (approx.)]. This produces full-raster HD images with high 
resolution and superb image quality. Because each of the three separate 
image sensors receives one of the three primary colors of light (red, green and 
blue), they render more precise images and more faithful colors than the single 
light-receiving 1MOS sensor.

Even at the 490 mm zoom setting (35 mm lens equivalent), this advanced 12x 
optical zoom lens is free of image degradation. And the AG-HMR10 Series is 
equipped with a digital zoom that instantly magnifies the image by any of 
three fixed values. 2x, 5x or 10x. Use it together with the 12x optical zoom 
lens, and you get super magnification equivalent to a 120x zoom, without the 
drop in light intensity that happens when using a lens extender. This advanced 
lens also lets you capture 40.8 mm  wide-angle shots (35 mm lens equivalent) 
— unusual for such a compact unit.

A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each 
pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades 
are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for 
each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The 
images that result are enhanced by a visually wider dynamic range.

Because hand-shake correction is done by actually driving the lens, there's 
none of the image degradation that occurs with electronic stabilization. You 
can capture beautiful, high-quality shots even in situations where 
hand-shake is typically a big problem — such as when zooming, shooting 
indoors in dim lighting, or shooting outdoors at night.

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam HD camcorders for 
digital cinema, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HMR10 Series with 
advanced gamma functions that address seven different shooting 
scenarios and enhance your creative abilities. This includes the cine-like 
gamma, which produces the characteristic warm tone of film recordings.

The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter 
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation 
method provides bright-color images with less noise than those captured 
using conventional gain-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for 
nighttime shooting without illumination.

The AG-HCK10G makes it easy to shoot from high angles. And 
because the AG-HMR10 Series recorder comes standard with 
HD-SDI output, you don't need a converter for connecting to an HD 
digital broadcast recorder, an HD switcher, or a relay transponder.

Simply attach the camera to the dashboard, and place the recorder 
in the glove box for space-saving installation.

The compact AG-HCK10G can be easily set up in the shadow of a 
tree for close-up observation of plants and animals in their natural 
habitat. The Time Stamp function lets you insert information such as 
the date and time directly onto the images as you record, for 
scientific use.

The AG-HCK10G lets you shoot from angles that would be difficult 
with ordinary cameras, such as high places and narrow spaces. 
Because the recorder and camera are separate, even if some 
unexpected problem should occur with the camera, the recorded 
data remains safe.

stereo microphone also lets you adjust the audio levels. The camera

In addition to the center zoom function, which enlarges the center area of 
the image for easier focusing, a focus bar can be displayed to indicate the 
focus level by the length of the bar. A peak hold function in the focus bar 
makes it easy to find the optimal focus position. The One-Push Auto Focus 
mode also lets you temporarily switch to AF mode during manual focusing.

* When the system frequency has been changed, turn the unit’s power off 

and then back on so that the setting takes effect.
