AG-CX20 Compact 4K Handheld Camcorder

Panasonic AG-CX20 Compact 4K Memory Card Camcorder
 
The AG-CX20 is a lightweight memory card camcorder, weighing approximately 850 g*1, that offers broadcast-quality imaging and exceptional portability. It supports extended 4K/60p recording, making it ideal for long-duration shoots. With a wide-angle 25 mm lens (35 mm film equivalent) and 24x optical zoom, it delivers high-quality video capture under a wide range of shooting conditions. Advanced features such as 4K High-precision AF and face detection/tracking AE & AF provide reliable support for smooth operation even in dynamic, fast-paced shooting environments.
 
The camcorder supports the broadcast-standard P2HD (MXF) file format, enabling simultaneous recording of main video with the AVC-Intra/AVC-LongG codec and proxy video with the AVC-Proxy G6 codec. It features internal 4:2:2 10-bit video recording and uses the High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) codec for efficient video compression. The AG-CX20 built-in wireless function can also perform HD live streaming by connecting to Wi-Fi*2.
 
The AG-CX20 brings innovation to the forefront of program production with its advanced features for on-site shoots and interviews, coupled with uncompromising video quality.
