The Panasonic HC-V785 Camcorder has excellent, Full High Definition video recording and a powerful 20x optical zoom lens in a compact, easy to transport body. It features a handy HDR (High Dynamic Range) movie mode that provides clear footage in even in backlit or difficult lighting environments.

12.76 Megapixel Image Sensor

Driving the camcorder is a sensitive 12.76 Megapixel live MOS sensor that delivers sharp Full HD video and 6.03 megapixel photos. The Crystal Engine Pro+ image processor reduces noise for crisp, vibrant results in a wide range of lighting conditions. A range of creative filters to choose from can give your footage that truly creative or personal touch.

Powerful 20x Optical Zoom Lens

A 4-drive lens system provides a powerful 20x optical zoom in a compact body. Its 35mm equivalent focal range of 29.5mm to 612mm lets you film a wide range of subjects like sweeping landscapes, up-close interviews, and distant action or events. Additionally, manual focus and manual iris control allow you to fine-tune your framing and exposure for complete creative control.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Video Recording

The V785 is equipped with HDR technology at the touch of a button. When shooting in difficult lighting conditions, select HDR mode and the camera combines two different exposures to help supress blown highlights and blocked shadows, delivering better clarity and detail across the frame.

120fps Slow Motion Full HD Video Recording

With an amazing slow-motion mode, the camera records in Full HD resolution at 120fps then uses an Intelligent Frame Creation algorithm to interpolate the footage and slow it down even further at 240fps for truly spellbinding slow-motion action like you’ve never seen before.

5-Axis Optical Image Stabilisation

A Hybrid O.I.S (Optical Image Stabiliser) complements the powerful lens, helping minimise the effects of camera shake across 5-axis of movement. This results in smooth, crisp handheld footage, even when filming whilst walking or when zoomed in close.

Dolby Digital Audio Recording

Four 6mm-diameter microphones capture immersive Dolby Digital sound, delivering clear audio with a manual zoom function for customisable audio pickup. Special damping material built into the microphone acts as a wind shield, reducing wind noise and distortion when shooting outdoors.

Built-in WiFi Connectivity

Built-in WiFi connectivity enables real-time broadcasting1 via Ustream and opens up a world of time-saving and creative possibilities by allowing you to turn your compatible smartphone or tablet into a live-view remote control.2

Wireless Twin Sub-Camera for Picture-in-Picture Recording

An innovative Wireless Twin Camera function turns your compatible WiFi enabled smartphone2 into a secondary camera. This function lets you shoot two angles simultaneously, saving the footage from your phone to the camera and creating picture-in-picture video file. This unique feature gives you a wealth of story-telling possibilities, letting you present two points of view at the same time.

Wireless Baby Monitor Function

A baby monitor function can be used over your home Wi-Fi network, allowing the camera to be set up to stream video to your smart device wirelessly. Additionally a push notification function can be set to alert you if the camera detects noise or movement, such as the baby waking up.

16GB Internal Memory

With 16GB of internal memory, the Panasonic HC V785 is ready to go right out of the box, with SD card slow to expand the memory if you need it. It’s a truly capable camcorder combining high-quality optics, a proven image sensor, and the convenience of Wi-Fi all in a neat little package.
