USB-SSD

recording

USB-SSD recording is for photographers and videographers who want to improve backup and post-processing efficiency

, for example.

• Better heat resistance than internal recording
• Cheaper than SD memory cards
• Can record at high bit rate in record mode

Wireless streaming USB tethering
Live streaming can be easily configured via the LUMIX Sync app (Android / iOS). In environments with a lot of wireless interference, stable communication speed can be ensured by connecting the camera to a smartphone via USB.

Wired Streaming
Enjoy highly stable communication with IP streaming over a wired LAN connection indoors

.

By connecting cameras and PCs via a wired LAN cable, multiple cameras can be controlled to deliver high-quality video and audio up to 4K 60p / 50p. H.264 and H.265 codecs are selectable

Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6

The LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 is a rugged, lightweight standard Zoom lens with a focal length of 20mm ultra-wide to 60mm for versatile use from dynamic landscapes to portraits. The wide angle of view also facilitates indoor shooting, and the impressive close-up limit of 0.15 m (maximum magnification 0.43x) extends its use in product photography. The LUMIX S Zoom also ensures high-quality video recording by minimizing focus breathing as best as possible, and

thanks to its compact design and light weight of around 350 g, it does not compromise the photographer's mobility. It features a dust- and splash-resistant design* and can be used in the harshest conditions down to -10°C. In addition, a fluorine coating on the front element repels water and oil. The filter diameter is 67mm and the lens features nine blades for a virtually circular aperture.

The lens consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and uses 2 aspherical lenses and 3 ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses to suppress both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic magnification aberration. Astigmatism can be additionally corrected with these aspherical lenses, resulting in high resolving power. In addition, the UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) lens enables uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the image and provides a compact design.

Impressively compact design with image quality that rivals SIGMA's Art product line.
To achieve such a compact design, the lens construction has been matched to the camera

'

s capabilities to best correct vignetting and distortion. In addition, axial chromatic aberrations, which are difficult to correct during image processing, are efficiently corrected through the use of an SLD glass element. This lens boasts a compact and lightweight design combined with outstanding image quality,

benefiting from an open aperture of F1.4 to deliver effective bokeh and amazing brightness even on APS-C format cameras, which tend to have less pronounced bokeh compared to full-frame systems. The compact and lightweight body is perfect for everyday use and shooting a wide variety of scenes - from portraits to snapshots to night scenes.

Smooth AF for video shooting
Combining an optical setup for AF video shooting with the use of a stepper motor enables smooth and quiet autofocus

.

Using the cameras' Face Detection or Eye AF functions, the focus remains continuously on the face or eye, even if the subject moves during shooting.

Dust- and splash-proof design
The mount features a special seal that makes the lens an excellent choice for shooting in a wide range of conditions
