Outstanding Image Quality, Sensitivity and Wide-Angle Framing — Plus Extra Versatility
High Quality
Wide-Angle, High-Magnification Leica 16x Zoom Lens
The AG-DVC30's Leica Dicomar 16x
optical zoom lens answers a broad range of
shooting needs, delivering superb results
from 39.5mm wide angle all the way to
Movie Simulation Mode
The AG-DVC30 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.
632mm telephoto (both 35mm lens
equivalents). In wide-angle performance —
critical in broadcast and other professional
N O R M
applications — this lens is tops in its class.
Behind this outstanding performance are the
advanced optical technologies and expertise that have made Leica Camera
AG one of the most respected names in the camera world. This new 16x
optical zoom lens system uses low-dispersion glass and aspherical lenses to
reduce colour aberration and boost resolution. Use of a special multi-coating
process dramatically reduces flare and ghosts. The result: sharp, crisp,
beautifully rendered pictures with vivid colours, delicate nuances, and

Optical Image Stabilizer Compensates for Hand Shaking
The AG-DVC30's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) compensates for
hand shaking that occurs as you shoot. A gyrosensor 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.

1/4-Inch, 470,000-Pixel 3CCD Image System:
High Sensitivity, Low Noise
To assure a level of picture quality suitable
for professionals, the AG-DVC30 uses a
3CCD image system that delivers the highest
sensitivity in its class. Its high S/N ratio and
extremely low noise (in darker areas of a
picture) combines with high sensitivity to
deliver excellent image quality even when
shooting indoors under dim lighting. When
shooting in sunlight or under bright

Zero Lux IR Mode (Super Nighttime Shooting System)
The AG-DVC30 is the world's first*
3CCD camera-recorder to offer B&W
recording in the dark using infrared
light. This opens the door to a host of
new possibilities in nighttime
monitoring, surveillance and news
gathering. The built-in infrared light
makes it possible to record at a
broadcast-quality camera-recorders. This,
combined with an RGB gamma processor
that uses Panasonic's unique gamma curve
function, helps assure high-image-quality
processing. In fact, the AG-DVC30's A/D
converter and RGB gamma processor are the
same ones used in our popular AG-DVX100B, which has won acclaim as
the industry's highest image quality DV camera.

Engineered for professionals, the AG-DVC30 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. Use it
together with the 16x optical zoom lens, and you get

Date/Time Superimpose
Function
The AG-DVC30 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.

Focus Assist with One-Push Zoom
When a user button is assigned the PUSH AF+ZOOM function and
the AG-DVC30 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.
IEEE 1394 Terminal with Synchro Lock
An IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal makes it easy to upload data
from the AG-DVC30, or to dub footage onto a DV recorder. This terminal
also features a new synchro lock function that lets you use the AG-DVC30
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-DVC30 and external recorder, begin
external recording when the AG-DVC30 tape ends.
