Panasonic HC-X1600GN Semi Pro Camcorder 4K60P 10BIT OLED EVF

Capture UHD 4K60 video and stills with the Panasonic HC-X1600 UHD 4K Camcorder, designed for portability and versatility. Its lightweight, compact body is ideal for filming music video behind-the-scenes or social media content, serving as a primary or secondary camera. Featuring a 1/2.5" 8.29MP MOS sensor with versatile recording modes, it also supports live streaming up to 1080p video over multiple protocols for seamless sharing.

Versatile Recording

The HC-X1600 shoots up to UHD 4K60 video using MOV, MP4, and AVCHD codecs. It also supports a high bit rate of 200 Mb/s when recording UHD 4K at 59.49/50p with HEVC codec or with Full HD 120/100 fps Super Slow Motion. The integrated 25mm lens reaches a 600mm telephoto focal length and provides a wide viewing angle. Capture close-up details using the 24x optical zoom or the 48x digital i.ZOOM in Full HD resolutions.

Live Streaming, Wireless Control

Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to live stream footage directly to sources of your choice. The camera supports RTSP, RTP, RTMP, and RTMPS protocols. It can stream Full HD resolution video in both unicast and multicast formats. Connect to the HC ROP app on a tablet or smartphone for remote control and live image preview.

Interface and Connectivity

An HDMI output port delivers UHD 4K video to a source of your choice. Record directly to two SD cards simultaneously in MOV/MP4 formats. An integrated stereo microphone captures 48 kHz 16-bit audio in AVCHD/MP4 formats and 48 kHz 24-bit audio in MOV formats. Add your own microphone using the 3.5mm stereo mini jack or 3-pin XLR input with phantom power support and monitor your overall audio via the headphone jack. An additional audio output for a speaker is also included. Remotely control the camera via a 2.5mm mini jack.

Hybird OIS, Face Detection Autofocus

Hybrid 5-axis OIS (optical image stabilisation) ensures your footage remains stable using both optical and electronic stabilisation. A Ball OIS system also improves small-amplitude blurring. High-precision autofocus with face detection technology locks onto subjects for precise focusing while maintaining exposure. Use the articulating 3.5" LCD touchscreen to activate precise tracking and the OLED EVF viewfinder for handheld image monitoring.

ND Filters

The camera features built-in selectable clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 ND mechanical filters for quick adjustments during changing lighting conditions.

Long Battery Life

A 5900mAh rechargeable battery keeps the camera up and running for up to 6 hours and 10 minutes of UHD 4K shooting. You can also use the USB-C input to power the camera via DC sources.
