With HC-X1000, Panasonic takes the lead in 4K and UltraHD camcorders. The huge zoom range and 50p recording makes it stand high above the crowd.

"4K 50p is a spectacular achievement for a camcorder running onto SDXC cards." HD Warrior

It's a small, very well built camera with a range of codecs and formats that puts other models to shame. UltraHD at 50/60fps, DCI 4K at 24fps and HD recording at 200Mb/s. Plus, it's got great professional features including ND filters, triple lens rings and a superb Leica 20x zoom. This is where the 4K revolution really begins.

"The Panasonic HC-X1000 is a great way to get into 4K shooting without breaking the bank. It puts a strong set of manual controls and settings into an economical chassis that has a good set of lenses in front of it. Intermediate-to-professional level video shooters will find its no-nonsense menus and controls quick, clean and efficient. Beginning enthusiasts shouldn’t despair though; with some good determination, you’ll be taking advantage of one of the easier paths into 4K and upping your production values, too." Videomaker.com

The HC-X1000 is a full-fledged 4K camcorder supporting various recording formats, like 4K/Cinema 4K/ Full-HD, frame rates including 60p/50p/24p and a host of professional functions. Its 4K resolution produces stunning, lifelike images, and its compact body adds agile mobility. Ideal for professionals shooting documentaries and events.

With four times the resolution of Full-HD, the HC-X1000 records in 4K (3840 x 2160) and Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160) formats. This delivers true-to-life images for a wide variety of shooting situations, in extremely high detail.

Background Recording (Full-HD only)

One SD card can be set in Slot 2 to record continuously, and another SD card can be set in Slot 1 to record necessary scenes by turning REC on and off. This prevents important scenes from being missed when REC is turned off.

Auto-Switch Recording
(The voice is interrupted for approximately one second during device switching)

When the first card reaches full capacity, the system automatically and seamlessly switches to the second card.

Simultaneous Recording

Two SD card slots allow to record data at the same time onto both SD cards, so you don’t have to worry about losing data.

Triple Manual Rings

In spite of the HC-X1000's compact body, features such as a focus ring, zoom ring, and iris ring on the lens barrel meet professional needs. This enables speedy and intuitive camera work.

Illuminating LED Ring

The illuminating LED ring allows people to verify more easily that recording is in progress, making the shooting smoother. The user can turn the illumination on or off.

20x Zoom with 4-Drive Lens System

Compact lenses and a space-saving drive range are achieved by driving each of the four lens groups separately, to fit a 20x optical zoom in such a compact body. This clearly shows in professional applications, such as sports scenes, captured in 4K detail with the 20x optical zoom.
