Camera Overview — Panasonic AK-UC4000

The Panasonic AK-UC4000 is a professional broadcast camcorder built around a 2/3-inch MOS sensor with an 11.14 MP resolution, delivering 4K video output for demanding studio and live production environments. It accepts B4 mount lenses, making it compatible with the broad ecosystem of broadcast-standard lenses that professionals rely on for studio and field acquisition. On the video side, the AK-UC4000 supports a wide range of frame rates — from 23.976fps all the way up to 120fps and 240fps — giving operators flexibility for everything from cinematic 24p capture to high-speed slow-motion work.

The camera records in 10-bit color depth, which provides meaningful latitude for color grading and post-production workflows. Color science options are extensive, with supported profiles including HLG (HDR), ITU-R BT.2020, CineGamma, DRS, User Gamma, and Black Gamma, covering both broadcast-standard HDR delivery and custom creative looks. The body is constructed from a metal and composite blend, weighing in at 4.5 kg with dimensions of 151 mm x 267 mm x 371.5 mm.

Display and viewfinder are handled via a modular external LCD/EVF system. No built-in image stabilization is included, and weather sealing is not featured on this body.
