The Panasonic HC-X1500 UHD 4K/Full HD Director's Camcorder can help balance your needs or allow you to jump straight to 4K. Compact and lightweight for a director or on-set BTS, the X1500 shoots and records UHD 4K at broadcast-compatible frame rates, so it fits smoothly into your existing broadcast workflow. The built-in Leica Dicomar lens features a 24x zoom with its widest angle at 25mm, and it uses the digital zoom feature to zoom up to 48x. The Face Detection AF feature allows you to track faces and automatically adjusts focus on your subject. It also features manual control rings, a control dial, and a 5-axis optical image stabilization to keep your shots steady. The 3.5" fold-out LCD features a high-resolution touchscreen. You also have the option to add the VW-HU1 top handle unit which is available separately and provides two 3-pin XLR inputs, a built-in LED light, a microphone holder, and accessory mounting options. In 4K recording mode, the camera utilizes 5-axis optical image stabilization (O.I.S.).The camera features built-in selectable ND physical filters.
