Bring your video productions into the world of 4K with the
Panasonic HC-X1 Ultra HD 4K Professional Camcorder
. Featuring a large 1" type 4K sensor, the HC-X1 is capable of recording video in DCI (4096 x 2160) as well as UHD (3840 x 2160) 4K resolutions. You can also record 1080p in VFR (variable frame rate) in 10 increments from 2 to 60 fps, as well as record HD video in a super-slow-motion mode at a frame rate up to 120 fps.
Whether producing event or ENG-style videos, or even a short film, the 20x optical zoom power of the lens starts from a wide 24mm equivalent FOV for shooting in tight spots or grabbing impressive establishing shots, and it extends out to 480mm equivalent FOV for getting in tight on far-away subjects. At longer focal lengths, the 1" sensor facilitates background blur reminiscent of larger professional cinema cameras, enabling dramatic compositions without sacrificing versatility found in a compact, handheld form factor.
While 4K video formats may seem daunting, the HC-X1 manages to record them onto convenient SD cards (U3 rated or faster cards are required for video bit rates above 100 Mb/s) that are both small and robust. Two card slots are provided for increased flexibility. You can record to both cards simultaneously, either for backing up or recording high and low bit rate files, or enable relay recording to capture a single file that spans multiple cards for longer recording times.
Ergonomically, the HC-X1 features a familiar handheld camcorder body with plenty of customizable control buttons for quickly accessing essential functions. When handheld, the sharp OLED EVF is within easy reach. Alternatively, a 3.5" touchscreen is offered for monitoring and menu control. Waveforms and scopes can be displayed to aid in exposure control. Atop the handgrip sits a large zoom rocker for precise zoom control. Lens functions can also be controlled manually using the three lens rings, one for focus, one for zoom, and one for iris. A 5900mAh battery for powering the HC-X1 is included, along with a charger, and a power supply for fixed-position operating.
High-Resolution Video Recording
The HC-X1 4K camcorder supports DCI 4K at 24p and UHD up to 60p. 1080p and 720p HD resolutions are also supported up to 60p in addition to 120 fps super slow-motion.
Advanced O.I.S.
With an expanded correction area, Advanced O.I.S. effectively reduces vibrations from hand-shake jitters to unstable shooting situations.
5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S.
In HD shooting modes, activate the 5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S. for further stabilization. Combining the optical stabilization with electronic stabilization, detection and correction of vibration along 5 axes (pan, tilt, roll, horizontal, and vertical) becomes possible.
4K 1"-Type MOS Sensor
Balancing flexibility and creative depth-of-field control, the 4K 1"-Type MOS Sensor is ideal for run-and-gun filmmaking as well as ENG-style productions.
4-Drive Lens System
The HC-X1 comes complete with a 4-Drive Lens System that simultaneously and independently drives 4 element groups inside the lens. Lens size and drive range for each of the 4 groups can be efficiently suppressed to optimize image quality and zoom power.
Leica Dicomar 4K Lens
Designed specifically for the HC-X1, this lens maintains sharp images throughout its 20x optical zoom range. The 24mm wide-angle setting on the lens (25.4mm equivalent in 16:9 aspect-ratio modes) offers a quick solution for shooting in tight spaces without requiring a bulky adapter that might affect image quality.
20x Optical Zoom
The optical 20X zoom lens covers the range from 24mm wide-angle to 480mm telephoto (35mm film equivalent at 4K 24p). And the lens can quickly cover the entire zoom range, so you won't miss your shots.
Intelligent AF
Precise autofocus performance is achieved by moving the Micro Drive Focus Unit minutely and quickly. AF can customize by adjusting AF Speed, AF Sensitivity and AF Area to best accommodate the subject type or application.
VFR/HD Super-Slow Motion
VFR (variable frame rate) recording can be set in up to 10 steps from 2 to 60 fps. Furthermore, a super slow-motion effect can be achieved through high-speed recording in HD resolutions at 120 fps.
Choice of File Format and Bit Rate
Customize the recording to your specific workflow by choosing from the available file formats, MOV, MP4, or AVCHD (only available in HD and SD resolutions), and bit rates ranging from 5 Mb/s all the way to 200 Mb/s.
Multi-Format Recording
Using the two SD card slots simultaneously, you can record in a different format to each card. For example, one card can hold the master 4K file while the second card holds a lower bit rate HD proxy file for easy editing.
Relay Recording
With SD cards in both slots, relay recording enables you to achieve theoretically unlimited recording times, perfect for event videography or other unpredictable situations. When one card fills up, the recording will continue on the second card without interruption. After one card becomes full and the recording has switched to the second card, simply replace the full card with an empty one and the recording will continue further.

REVIEW: I've only had this camera for a few days, and I can already tell I'm going to love it and that it is going to be a workhorse in my stable. Over the past few years, I've owned the Panasonic AG-AC160A, Canon XF200, Sony NX100, and JVC GY-HM170U. I recently sold the Canon and JVC and was looking for something to compliment my AG-AC160A which I use primarily for weddings due to its size and great low light capabilities. When I came across the HC-X1 and saw the specs, 4K 60p (both DCI 4K and UHD), three ring lens, oled display, and all the various codecs and bitrates, I knew it was a camera I would have to consider. Last year when the Sony Z150 released I was ready to jump on it, but as soon as I saw only 4K 30p I lost interest quickly. I wanted a future proof camera and without the 60p I knew I wasn't going to be happy. So how is the footage? I am very pleased with the footage I've gotten so far. With the 1 sensor I think it is the perfect size for those that want DOF and solid focus. It's big enough when shooting in low light you don't get a bunch of noise. In fact, the low light footage I have filmed around the house has looked great. Comparing it to my Sony NX100 which I consider a low light king, I'm impressed. This camera literally lets you customize just about any feature you can think of! An added bonus I didn't even knew existed was a leveler. You can assign it to one of your user buttons and when activated, it shows if the camera is level or not! Great high end feature you don't usually see in this price range. Another bonus is the included infrared mode. I really missed having that after I sold my Canon and I'm happy to say it is on par with it. It's not a feature you will probably use often, but it's nice to know it is there if you need it. Build quality is excellent as well. It feels really solid. I had the JVC GY-HM170U 4K offering from last year and it felt so cheap. Sure this camera is more than twice the price, but you don't feel like if you bump this camera it's going to break. Compared to my AG-AC160A, you can really see how Panasonic has evolved over the years. I like the rubber grip under the xlr handle, along the lens cap, and rear of the camera. Gives it a very rugged feel and and confidence it's not going to slip out of your hands. If I had to say something negative about the camera, it might be that it has a steep learning curve. Being familiar with my other Panasonic camera has certainly helped, but a read of the manual will certainly be needed. I'm still getting used to many of the features and button layout. I'm hoping once the camera is on the market for awhile, Panasonic will release additional scene profiles for download like they do with their other models. In conclusion, I think this is an excellent camera with amazing video quality. There is no perfect camera on the market so there will always be some compromises. If you have a chance, try it out first before purchase. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
