    Wider-Angle 13x Zoom LensThe po we rful 13x zoom lens , s pec ia lly designed for HD reco rding,

    has a wide 30mm a ngle of view (35mm eq uivalent). The new lens ,

    which is based on Panasonic's acclaimed wide-angle lens design,

    covers mo st shoo ting situations w ithout requiring a wide-angle

    co nversion lens . Its minimum ob ject dista nce (MOD) of a bo ut 1.9 ft

    (0.6 meter) at the telephoto setting helps to maximize the handheld

    camcorder's inherent mobility.

    The sa me ca m-driven zoo m ring tha t wa s s o pop ula r in previous

    Super-Compact, Large Capacity and High Speed

    P2, w hich s tands for Profess ional Plug-in, is a compa ct s olid-state

    memory card designed for professional AV use. Basically, four

    SD/SDHC Memory Cards are pa ckage d tog ether to crea te a single

    P2 c ard. This gives the P2 c ard four times the trans fer speed and

    four times the write speed of a single SDHC card. Utilizing aprecision die-ca sting for the bod y of the ca rd, it bec omes the most

    rugged and reliable memory device (class 6). A slim, large-capacity

    32GB*1 P 2 ca rd (AJ -P2C032RG ) ca n hold 32 minutes o f DVCP RO

    HD codec recording yet w eighs only ab out 45 grams . Compliant

    with PC Ca rd sta nda rds (Type II), the P 2 ca rd plugs directly into the

    card slot of a laptop P C.*2 AV data on the card mounts instantly,

    with eac h cut a s a n MXF file. The da ta c a n be use d immediately —

    no d igitizing nece ss a ry — for nonlinea r editing, o r it ca n be

    transferred o ver a netw ork. The P 2 far surpas se s a ll other AV med ia

    in transfer speed, too.

    The P 2 ca rds transfer data at up to 640 Mbps*3, which ca n greatly

    speed up production processes.

    *1: Total card ca pac ity includes space for data ma nagement such a s system da ta;therefore, actual usab le area is less tha n the capa city indicated o n the card.

    *2: The P C must b e installed with the included P 2 driver in order to mount P2 c ards .For editing, the PC must be installed with P2-compa tible editing s oftware a vailablefrom various companies. Read " Notes Regarding the Handling of P 2 Files Using a PC"on the back page.

    *3: This data transfer speed is a theoretica l value. The a ctual da ta transfer speed variesac cording to operating conditions a nd other anc illary devices.

    Reliable Performance, Repeatedly Reusable

    P 2 ca rds p rovide superb reliab ility in even the ha rsh environments .

    P2 c ards w ithstand s hock up to 1,500 G a nd vibration up to 15 G,

    operate in temperatures from –4 to 140° F (–20 to 60° C), a nd c an b e

    sto red in tempe ratures from –40 to 176°F (–40 to 80° C). In dura bility

    too, the P2 ca rd goes w ell beyond ordinary PC c ards. Its connector

    portion, for examp le, is sp ecially des igned for professiona l use a nd

    has pa ss ed insertion/removal tests o f more than 30,000 cyc les. P2

    ca rds also ha ve a write protect switch that helps prevent accidental

    da ta d eletion. So lid s tate memory has the unique a dvanta ge of be ingrewritable, over and over again, in part because it is a non-contact

    media and requires mechanical intervention. You can use the same

    P2 ca rd aga in and a ga in for years — slas hing media costs and

    operationa l maintenance while a lso minimizing impac t on the

    environment.

    P2: The N ext-G eneration M edia

    Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

    When you press the Record Button in standby mo de, the

    AG -HVX200A se ries insta ntly finds a blank area of the P 2 ca rd a nd

    begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when

    you're using it to preview video . There is no need t o po we r dow n

    and reboo t the camera po rtion, you ca n go from playb ac k to record

    in less than 2 seco nds. There's no c hance o f acc identallyoverwriting a recording. Recordings will not be erased unless you

    intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.

    Hot-Swap Recording and Other Functions that Add

    Versatility

    •Hot-swap recording:Tha nks

    to t he AG-HVX200A s eries

    two c ard slots, you ca n hot-

    swa p P2 cards and have

    continuous non-stop

    reco rding. With multiple

    cards you can record for

    hours without interruption.

    You could a lso us e the P2

    Gear, AG-HPG10, for off-

    loading the card to a US B o r

    1394 drive. Then, onc e off-

    loa ded a nd verified, the ca rd can then be formatted and mad e

    ready for recording.

    •Loop recording: Using two P2 c ards a nd setting the

    AG -HVX200A se ries for co nsec utive o verwriting, you ca n

    repea tedly re-reco rd during a pa rticular recurring time s lot, a lways

    maintaining a recording of the most recent period. Unlike video

    tape, P2 ca rds need no rewinding. They minimize w as ted time and

    a llow sea mless, c ontinuous recording. This ma kes them espe cially

    useful for unattended monitoring.

    •Pre-rec:While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and

    sub se q uently record, up to 7 sec onds in DVCP RO50/DVCP RO or

    3 seconds in DVCPRO HD of video and audio. In effect, this letsyou record footage of events that o ccur even before you press the

    rec s tart button, giving you a w ay to " go b ack" and c apture

    moments you otherwise w ould have missed .

    •One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode

    records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you

    press the Sta rt button.

    720p Native Mode

    In the Native mo de, the AG -HVX200A se ries records ima ges a t the

    frame rate set in the camera. For example in 25p mode it only

    records 25 frames instea d o f the normal 25 frames.

    When using this mo de fo r undercrank or overcrank, only the frames

    dialed in are chos en.Using the AG -HVX200A se ries to play ba ck the reco rding a t the

    normal rate, you ca n preview the speed effect right on the s pot,

    without using a frame rate co nverter. Native mode a lso extends the

    recording time of a P 2 ca rd.

    720p over 50p Mode

    For example, in 25p mode it records 50 frames by applying a 2:2

    pulldow n. The reco rding time is the s am e a s in 1080i or 720p mode ,

    but the unit can output a DVCPRO HD stream from the IEEE 1394

    connecto r as it records. This lets you produce a ba ckup copy using

    a connected external Hard Disk recorder, such a s the FOCUS
