Panasonic’s new AG-AC90 AVCCAM combines the high image quality, advanced functions and easy
operation that professionals demand in a stylish, easy-to-handle design.
Its zoom lens extends from 29.8 mm (35 mm equivalent) wide angle to 12x optical zoom, with a high

Full-HD resolution and a high S/N ratio. And the AVCHD recorder section supports both PS mode, for
Full-HD progressive image production, and pro-use PH mode. They give you the field of view, the image
quality, and the file/video formats you need for news gathering and image production. Other professional

of the interchangeable lenses, XLR Microphone/Audio Inputs, and remote terminals to provide the system
expandability that professional applications require.

29.8 mm Wide-Angle/High-Powered
Zoom Lens
The high-powered 12x zoom lens includes a 29.8 mm
(35 mm equivalent) wide-angle setting. When using
the Intelligent 25x digital zoom, it achieves up to
25x seamless zooming. In addition, it also features
2x, 5x and 10x digital zoom function. Panasonic’s
unique Nano Surface Coating minimizes ghosts and
flaring, and a high speed, F1.5 brightness enables
extremely clear image rendering. The built-in 5-axis
Hybrid OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) ensures stable
handheld shooting.
High-Sensitivity BSI Type 3MOS Sensors
Three (RGB) backside illumination corresponding 1/4.7 type MOS
image sensors have an effective pixel count of 2,190,000 pixels. This
makes it possible to capture excellent images with high definition and
superb color reproduction even in dimly lit locations. The image
processing circuit, which is tuned for professional use, produces
highly natural gradation and sharp detail.
Easy Operation with Triple Manual Rings and a
High-Definition LCD Monitor
The lens barrel is equipped with manual rings for focus, zoom and iris
operation to enable the kind of speedy, intuitive camera work that is
generally associated with interchangeable lenses. The 8.89 cm
(3.5 inches) LCD monitor (touch panel), which stores easily inside the
top front part of the handle, has approximately 1,150,000 dot
resolution to enhance focusing, and includes focus assist, zebra, and
color bar display functions. The LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees for
easy low-angle, high-angle, and self-interview shootings.
