The HDC-Z10000 officially supports the new AVCHD 3D/Progressive standard. This powerful camcorder is
designed to single-handedly meet the level of quality that is demanded both for 2D image production, and
for the growing need for 3D image production.

Ultimate 2D/3D Image Quality

High Quality 2D/3D Picture

FULL HD 3DFilled with Original Imaging Technologies
Professional-Quality Full-HD 2D and FULL HD 3D Images

The Double 3MOS System reflects the essence of a number of unique technologies
that Panasonic has accumulated. This advanced imaging system combines two
large-diameter F1.5 lenses featuring a special Nano Surface Coating technology, with
two independent, high-sensitivity 3MOS sensors left and right for superb color and detail
reproduction, and the newly developed Crystal Engine Pro II for high-speed processing.
The result: an entirely new dimension in lifelike imaging.

High-Quality Imaging Technologies

3MOS SensorSuperb Color Expression from High-Sensitivity Sensors
3MOS Sensor

The HDC-Z10000 employs two independent, high-sensitivity 3MOS sensors, left and right, each with a three-sensor configuration. This provides a resolution of 6.57 million effective motion image pixels (2.19 million x 3)*. With their excellent color reproduction and strong low-light shooting capability, these 3MOS sensors maximize the quality of FULL HD 3D and Full-HD progressive images.

* 6.21 megapixels when shooting in 3D.

3MOS Sensor

Crystal Engine Pro IIEnhanced Resolution and Noise Reduction Effects
Crystal Engine Pro II

The newly developed, ultra-high-speed Crystal Engine Pro II performs high-speed processing of the
4K2K-equivalent pixels that are obtained with pixel shift technology, superb Full-HD image quality is
achieved even in detailed images. The improved processing capability also provides dramatic noise
reduction effects, to achieve clear, high-quality 2D and 3D images.

Crystal Engine Pro II

Bright, High-Performance Lenses
F1.5 Lens with Nano Surface Coating

New large-diameter F1.5 lenses are mounted independently, left and right. A Nano Surface Coating is applied to the front lens surface for the first time* on a camcorder. These advanced lens systems suppress ghosts and flaring when shooting moving pictures, and let you record bright images with very little noise even in dark places.

* As of August 31, 2011.

F1.5 Lens

Nano Surface Coating Technology

Nano Surface Coating Technology

The newly applied Nano Surface Coating boasts an extremely low reflectance ratio compared with the conventional multi coating to minimize ghosts. By forming a nano-level, microstructure film with an ultra-low refractive index onto the lens surface, the reflection of incident light is greatly reduced over the entire visual light range. This Panasonic black box technology boosts the optical performance of the HDC-Z10000 to deliver images with stunning clarity.

AVCHD ProgressiveCrisp, Clear Images Even for Fast-Moving Subjects
AVCHD Progressive Compliant 1080/60p(50p) Recording

1080/60p(50p) recording (Full-HD, 1,920 x 1,080, 60(50) progressive recording) conveys
about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording. Fast-moving subjects, such as in
sports scenes, are smoothly recorded. The progressive recording of the HDC-Z10000 fully
complies with the new AVCHD Progressive standard.

Interlaced Scanning (1080/60i(50i))

Only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture. Fabric patterns run together, and moiré patterns appears.

Interlaced Scanning - Only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture.
 

Progressive Scanning (1080/60p(50p))

Reproduces all of image data in a single picture. Patterns in fabric are crisp and clear with no color bleeding.

Progressive Scanning - Reproduces all of image data in a single picture.

High Sound Quality

High-Performance Mic Connection
Twin XLR Terminals

In addition to the electret condenser microphones that are built into the HDC-Z10000, XLR audio input terminals allow 2-channel input with 48-V phantom power supply for external microphones. This enables use of the many high-performance microphones with XLR terminal connection capability that are available for professional equipment.

Twin XLR Terminals
* XLR microphone is optional.

Faithful Sound Recording
Linear PCM Recording

The HDC-Z10000 features 48-kHz/16-bit linear PCM recording
(2 channels only) that captures original sounds faithfully and
accurately. This meets the demand for high sound quality, for
example, when recording live music performances and the
sounds of nature.

Capturing Voices Over a Wide Area for a More Life-Like Sound
5.1-Ch Surround Sound System

The HDC-Z10000 is equipped with five electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect. You get a realistic sound space that's a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images.
