Product details

Preserve your precious memories in the best quality with the 4K camcorder VX989, featuring a high-quality Leica Dicomar lens. The optical image stabilizer ensures shake-free recordings, and the Level Shot function completes the video enjoyment. The VX989 records videos in 4K, capturing each video with incredible detail thanks to its four times the resolution of Full HD. You can even capture unique moments in stunning 4K still images with the 4K photo mode. Panasonic's extremely fast and precise autofocus technology makes 4K recording a breeze for everyone. The post-zoom function allows for easy and smooth zooming in your recordings, and you can also adjust the framing or center of the image. During the conversion from 4K to Full HD, various camera pans can be incorporated afterward; you simply need to set the start and end points. With wide-angle 4K recordings, face recognition automatically tracks a person in your shot and zooms in as a Full HD video. Even after recording, the camcorder provides perfect image stabilization when converting 4K videos to Full HD, and you can also adjust the framing.
