Camera Overview — Panasonic HX-A1

The Panasonic HX-A1 is a wearable action camera built for hands-free, point-of-view capture in demanding conditions. Weighing just 45g and measuring 26.0 x 26.0 x 83.1 mm, it is one of the more compact and lightweight options in the action camera category, making it well-suited for active shooting scenarios where bulk is a liability. The body is constructed from plastic and carries a weather-sealed rating, offering a degree of protection against the elements.

Video recording tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 30fps, 60fps, and 120fps — the latter being useful for slow-motion work — all captured in 8-bit color. The 1/3-inch sensor resolves at 3.54 MP, with still image output up to 2176 x 1224 px. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 3200.

Storage is handled via microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and USB, though Bluetooth is absent. The built-in 480mAh Li-ion battery is rated for up to 140 minutes of 1080p/30p recording.

The autofocus system is fixed focus only, with no image stabilization of any kind — optical, in-body, or digital.
