Record high-quality UHD 4K60 video and still photos virtually anywhere with the Panasonic HC-X1200 UHD 4K Camcorder, thanks to its lightweight and compact body. Whether you're filming behind the scenes of a music video or getting content for your latest social media project, the HC-X1200 can work as both a main or secondary camera. The camcorder features a 1/2.5" 8.29MP MOS sensor with versatile recording modes.

Versatile Recording

The HC-X1200 shoots up to UHD 4K60 video using MP4 and AVCHD codecs. It also supports a high bit rate of 100 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.

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 MP4 formats. An integrated stereo microphone captures 48 kHz 16-bit audio. Add your own microphone using the 3.5mm stereo mini jack 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.

Hybrid OIS, Face Detection Autofocus

Hybrid 5-axis OIS (optical image stabilization) ensures your footage remains stable using both optical and electronic stabilization. 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.

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.
