PANASONIC REDEFINES VIDEO PRODUCTION WITH NEW 4K MULTI-PURPOSE CAMERA AND WORLD’S FIRST AUTO-FOCUS FUNCTION

The UCX100 will be the first 2/3-type 4K studio camera to support auto-focus, ahead of the UBX100. This breakthrough innovation addresses the growing need for consistent image quality in environments using LED walls, projectors, and advanced lighting, where production demands often exceed the limits of manual shooting.

There are also further function enhancements scheduled for the UCX100 studio camera including the addition of Low Skew Mode, which enhances image stability, making it especially effective in fast-paced or high-motion productions. Expanded Video TRUNK functionality^[3] with support for 12G-SDI output, enables high-bandwidth signal transmission, ensuring seamless integration with advanced broadcast infrastructure.

To maintain uniform image quality across the frame, the camera introduces automatic correction for F-drop and peripheral light falloff^[4], minimising exposure inconsistencies. Rounding out these upgrades is remote back focus adjustment, allowing operators to fine-tune focus with precision from a distance, streamlining setup and reducing on-site complexity.

By automating key functions like auto-focus and streamlining device interoperability, Panasonic’s latest innovations reduce the need for manual adjustments and troubleshooting, especially in dynamic environments where time and precision are critical. Whether shooting in LED studios, live-streaming multi-format content, or operating robotic cameras in fast-paced production settings, creators can now rely on consistent image quality and intuitive controls. This means less time spent calibrating equipment and more time dedicated to creative direction, composition, and storytelling.
