Wide angle zoom lens for precise shooting

The AG-CX18 offers superior optical performance thanks to a powerful integrated 25mm[1] wide angle to 600mm[2] telephoto zoom lens. Additionally, it has a 24x optical zoom. Furthermore it features a 4-Drive Lens System that operates each lens group independently, in addition to two manual focus rings.

Additionally it features both Optical and Electric Image Stabilisation to detect and correct any unwanted camera shake. Operating through five axes, it includes rotational blurring. This is especially useful when shooting subjects from very high and low angles. All models provide superior focusing speed, stability, and tracking performance when shooting in both 4K and FHD, thanks to the Face Detection AF/AE feature that provides precise focusing and exposure for subjects.

Listening to the needs of the industry

Panasonic’s intimate knowledge of what directors and cinematographers require from high-performance camcorders when shooting on location have been reflected within the improvements made to all four models, further increasing usability and functionality.

Compact design for superior mobility

The unique design of all four models enables heat to be dispersed from the front panel thanks to a slimline fan. This increases reliability and enables the body to be as small as possible. The CX20 and CX18 include Panasonic’s VW-HU1 handle unit, featuring a two-channel XLR audio input and control, and bright, adjustable LED light for shooting in low light conditions. Users can also easily operate lens zoom from the handle unit.[1]

All four camcorders support multiple bit rates and formats for a variety of requirements. When configured for 10 bit recording with an HDMI output, all models deliver 4K 60p 4:2:2 output with an external recorder. All camcorders support the MOV, MP4 and AVCHD formats, whilst the CX20 supports the P2 MXF workflow.
