The AG-AC160A features an improved lens, camera, and recorder sections. The newly developed 22x zoom lens (28mm to 616mm in 35mm equivalent), boasts a wide field of view and capabilities much like an interchangeable lens, via a mechanical (cam-driven) zoom ring, a focus ring, and an iris ring. High-quality full-HD 1920x1080 is achieved with a combination of a high-sensitivity, low-noise, high-resolution 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra Luminance Technology) MOS image sensor and the professional AVCHD PH mode. Advanced functions like high-quality LPCM recording, HD slow/quick-motion recording, HD/SDI output compatibility, DV (SD) recording mode, and a switchable 59.94Hz/50Hz mode make this a great camera for many types of production. Inherited from the VariCam, the Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function creates a wide range of film-camera-like images, such as overcranking for slow-motion and undercranking for quick-motion effects, and supports full-HD (1920x1080) progressive mode. The camera uses the AVCCam (AVCHD) recording format, but it also supports the high-image-quality PH mode featuring a compression efficiency that is more than twice that of the MPEG-2 system (such as HDV), delivering superb image quality and low data rates. While in PH mode, it also supports uncompressed 16 bit LPCM 2-channel digital audio recording. Dual SD card slots allows Relay Recording, so you can seamlessly record images onto two SDXC/SDHC memory cards consecutively, while Simultaneous Recording records the same images onto two different memory cards to increase reliability. The slot to be used can be switched during normal recording, and clips can also be copied between the 2 slots. The color EVF uses a 11.43mm (0.45 inches LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) display panel, approximately a 1,226,000 dot-equivalent (852 x 480 x 3 ). It delivers bright, detailed, high-resolution images with a high response speed. The LCD monitor is an 87.63mm (3.45 inches), approximately 921,000-dot (1920 x 480) high-resolution panel.
