Description

The AG-AF100A is a micro four thirds imager cinema camcorder featuring full-HD progressive recording, 24psf 10 bit* 4:2:2 camera output. It delivers the shallow depth of field and wider field of view of a large imager, with the flexibility and cost advantages of a handheld camcorder. Additionally, the AF100A is equipped with the popular expand focus assist function, which enlarges the center of the displayed image for greater ease in focusing; and a 2.39:1 (cinema scope size) safety zone marker. It is also equipped with the full range of cinematic controls including exposure, adjustable zebras, pedestal and detail, a vectorscope and waveform monitor, and much more. The AF100A can use a wide range of lenses, including Micro Four Thirds compatible DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) lenses, 35mm DSLR lenses and Cinema lenses with appropriate lens mount adapters.

The AF100A complies with the AVCHD ver. 2.0 (AVCHD Progressive) standard with a new PS mode (average approx. 25Mbps, maximum 28Mbps) for recording, playing and outputting Full-HD progressive (1080/59.94p, 1080/50p) images (via HDMI only).
