1/3.1-inch BSI Sensor for Low Light Use

Dual SD Card Slot

Two SD card slots support SDHC and SDXC capacity memory cards while offering a variety of benefits to shooters. In simultaneous recording mode the cards record identical footage to ensure that you have a backup on your work as soon as you press record. 

It also supports relay recording, saving footage onto one SD card until it is full and then automatically switching to the second card without interruption. 

The hot swap feature makes it possible to place a replacement card into the first slot while still shooting footage on the second slot. This allows you to potentially shoot endlessly with the file being split into 10-hour blocks, perfect for weddings, corporate events and occasions where every moment is crucial.

20x Optical Zoom with an F1.8 Max Aperture

Equipped with a 35mm equivalent range of 29.5mm-612mm the HC-PV100 easily captures clear, crisp, wide-angle establishing shots, while the 20x Optical Zoom adds creative versatility, allowing you to achieve close ups and intimate shots with ease. 

The lens construction comprises four lens groups which it drives separately to retain image quality and portability making it one of the most diverse video cameras on the market.
