The Panasonic HC-785 was thoughtfully designed to be capable and convenient. Capture beautiful videos in 1080p Full HD, even in dim lighting conditions, thanks to the high-sensitivity sensor. Always get stable shots thanks to Panasonic's 5-Axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilizer. You can even use your smartphone as a sub-camera for picture-in-picture video!
High Sensitivity Sensor
The 1/2.3-type (1/2.3-inch) Back Side Illumination Sensor has a large effective area and 34% larger pixels compared to a commonly used 1/5.8-type (1/5.8-inch) sensor, suppressing noise when shooting in dimly lit places, such as indoor scenes or nightscapes. It achieves stunningly beautiful images even down to the tiniest details.
20 x Optical Zoom with 4-Drive Lens System
By driving each of four lens groups separately, the drive ranges are reduced, resulting in high image quality, high-powered zooming, and a compact camera body. This keeps the body compact even with a 20x optical zoom.
Stable, Level Shooting and Less Blurring
The HYBRID O.I.S. + (Optical Image Stabilizer) uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. The Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images.
Slow Motion Video
Smooth slow motion video makes it possible to portray the emotional sensation of everyday scenes.
Wind Shield Zoom Microphone
A special damping material is provided in the space between the mic and the mic net to suppress wind noise for clear recording always.
Clear Shots with Excellent Detail
Enjoy crisper, clearer videos thanks to the HDR Movie function. It combines two images taken with different exposures to suppress blown highlights and blocked shadows. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent gradation. A dedicated HDR button enables quick mode changes when necessary.
Use Your Smartphone as a Sub Camera
Using your smartphone with Wi-Fi operation as a sub camera, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. Since you are shooting with different cameras, you can use one at a distance, or at any angle you choose. This gives you a wide variety of Picture in Picture images.
