Camera Overview — Panasonic AG-AF100

The Panasonic AG-AF100 is a professional cinema camcorder built around a 12.4 MP Type 4/3 (Four Thirds) sensor with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount, giving filmmakers access to a broad ecosystem of interchangeable lenses. It records video at up to 1920x1080 resolution across a versatile range of frame rates — 24fps, 25fps, 30fps, 50fps, and 60fps — making it adaptable for both cinematic and broadcast production workflows. Internally, the camera captures 8-bit footage, while its Full HDMI output enables 10-bit external recording for greater post-production flexibility.

The AG-AF100's ISO range runs from 200 to 3200, processed through an 18-bit DSP. For monitoring, the camera offers a 3.45-inch fixed LCD display with 920,000 dots of resolution, complemented by an LCD EVF running at 60Hz with 1,220,000 dots. Audio is a clear strength: the camera provides dual XLR inputs with phantom power alongside a 3.5mm stereo microphone jack and a 3.5mm headphone jack for on-set monitoring.

The body is constructed from magnesium alloy and polycarbonate, weighing 1,315g with dimensions of 164 x 195 x 291 mm. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. Multiple color profiles — including Cine-Like D, Cine-Like V, Dynamic Range Stretch, and Gamma Select — round out its video-oriented feature set.
