Overview
The Panasonic HC-X1200E is a professional, lightweight 4K camcorder. Perfect for any director working alone or for filming locations where mobility and image quality go hand in hand. This camcorder lets you shoot stunning footage in 4K 60p or 120p slow motion in Full HD. The HC-X1200E is equipped with a 25mm wide-angle lens with 24x optical zoom (25mm-600mm), F/1.8-4. Zooming can be done very precisely and easily in 7 steps via the zoom lever, set from the menu.
With the Panasonic HC-X1200E, your shots are always in focus thanks to the built-in 5-axis HYBRID image stabilisation and fast and accurate tracking functions with face detection. You view your shots via the 3.5’ LCD screen with 2,760K dots, even in bright sunlight this means excellent visibility.
The HC-X1200E supports a variety of bitrates and formats (up to MP4 HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit in 59.94p UHD) and offers professional features such as waveforms, vector scope, zebra pattern, chroma level and more. The camcorder has a built-in three-stage ND filter and two adjustment rings for quick manual control of focus, zoom and aperture. Thanks to its new heat-dissipating design, the camcorder stays cool no matter how long your shots take.
