...And the System Flexibility Professionals Need
The AG-DVC62 is fully equipped to meet your everyday production needs. It comes standard
with terminals for connecting an optional stereo gun mic, and with XLR-type mic/input
terminals for connecting either a hand mic or line recording. Add an optional Anton Bauer
adapter plate, and you can mount any of several heavy-duty Anton Bauer batteries to the
camera rear for extended shooting work. Or snap an Anton Bauer Ultra Light onto the shoe
built into the top of the handle, and you have all the light you need for high-level shooting
jobs. You can use the colour LCD monitor and viewfinder at the same time. When using the
viewfinder for shooting, you can face the LCD monitor forward, where someone in front of
the camera can use it as a monitor when speaking or conducting an interview.

A Digital Zoom for Professionals
Engineered for professionals, the AG-DVC62
is equipped with a digital zoom that instantly
magnifies the image by any of five fixed
values — 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x or 10x.

Movie Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC62 can capture and reproduce images that are strikingly
similar in tone to film images, thanks to Panasonic's unique Cine-Like
gamma curve and a 25-fps frame recording function that
electronically interpolates interlaced images to create frames with no
time differences between fields.* Settings for this mode are preset in
the Movie-Like scene file.
Optical Image Stabilizer Compensates for Hand Shaking
The AG-DVC62's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS)
compensates for hand shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyro sensor
detects hand-shake and sends signals to a linear motor, which adjusts
the lens to compensate. Because this process takes place prior to the
CCD image capture (rather than in the downstream electronic
processing), it virtually eliminates any effect of hand-shake on
resolution and screen angle. The OIS can also be helpful when
zooming or shooting in dim lighting.
*The resulting images are not the same as native progressive images recorded with a progressive CCD.

The AG-DVC62 offers B&W
recording in the dark using
infrared light. This opens the
door to a host of new
Shooting Support Functions
• Backlight correction: Backlighting compensation can be assigned to
a user button for instant results.
• AE Lock: Locks the subject brightness; can be assigned to a user button.

The built-in infrared light makes
it possible to record at a
distance of about 5 m**.
• Mode check: Displays the camera settings on the viewfinder and
monitor, for easy checking before you shoot.
• Zoom position: Displays the zoom position as a repeatable,
numerical representation in the viewfinder.
• Picture Effects: Picture effects function includes Wipe, Mix, Fade and
Still.

Recessed Trigger and Zoom Control on Upper Handle Grip
In addition to the lens grip, the
upper part of the handle grip
contains both the Rec Start/Stop
button and a lens zoom control.
This design assures easy shooting
even at low angles or when using a
tripod. The zoom speed can be set
to any of three speed levels or off.
Date/Time Superimpose Function
The AG-DVC62 can superimpose the date and time onto the video
signal as you shoot. This is especially useful and in many cases a
requirement for depositions, court reporting and surveillance
recordings. The date and time cannot be replaced during dubbing or
editing operations, as can happen with most other cameras.
Full Auto or Manual Shooting
Use the AG-DVC62 for either full auto or manual shooting. The
Auto/Manual switch turns the four auto functions — focus, shutter
speed, iris & gain, and white balance — on and off as desired.
Manual focusing is controlled by the large focus ring. You can also
switch between manual and auto focus by pushing the Focus button.
For added convenience, one of the user buttons can be assigned to
turn auto focus on and off.
2.5" Colour LCD Monitor
The 2.5" colour LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees, making it easy to
shoot at difficult angles and the Mirror mode makes it easy to record
yourself. The display is bright too, so even outdoors you get good
visibility when using the LCD to monitor footage or select settings
from the menu.
Professional-Level Audio with XLR Line/Mic In
Multi-Function Focus Ring
The AG-DVC62 comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone
and with XLR-type audio input terminals on the rear panel. You can
switch audio channels 1 and 2 separately to either line or front mic
input - especially useful when recording interviews or narration.
In Auto Focus, control over either the zoom or the iris & gain can be
allocated to the focus ring, letting you make quick, detailed
adjustments manually.
3 User-Assignable Buttons
Audio Level Meters
Two colour audio level meters can be displayed in the viewfinder
and LCD monitor, making it easy to check the signal as you record.
The AG-DVC62 provides three user buttons that can be assigned to
any of 16 camera functions and three VCR functions. User button 1 is
positioned atop the hand grip for easy access when shooting with
one hand.
Camera functions: Push AF+Zoom, Push AF, White Balance,
AWB Lock, Backlight, Spotlight, Rec Check, Digital
Zoom, White Fade, Black Fade, Photoshot, Index,
SNS (Super Nighttime Shooting), EVF DTL, Lumi-Flick,
AE Lock
VCR functions: Blank Search, Audio Dub, Index
WHITE BAL and SNS can be allocated to user button 1 only.
Focus Assist with One-Push Zoom
When a user button is assigned the Push AF+Zoom
function and the AG-DVC62 is in Auto Focus, the
camera will continue to zoom as long as you hold
the button down, then return to the original zoom
position when you release it. This helps you zoom
and focus more quickly in manual shooting mode.
Four Scene Files
The AG-DVC62 can save four sets of camera settings as
"scene files" for instant recall later in similar shooting
conditions. Scene files 1 and 2 are freely settable. Files 3 and 4 are
preset (see list below), but you can change the values as desired.

terminal also features a new synchro lock function that lets you use
the AG-DVC62 to remotely start and stop an external DV device.
Three recording modes help protect against mistakes: record onto
external recorder only, record onto both AG-DVC62 and external
recorder, begin external recording when the AG-DVC62 tape ends.
