World's Smallest 3CCD Camera The AG-EZ50U fits the 3CCD system commonly used in Panasonic's professional video cameras into a palm-size unit that weighs just 1.48 lbs. (679 g). The R, G and B CCDs boast 380,000 pixels each to deliver vivid, true-to-life colors, while double-density pixel distribution assures outstanding resolution and sensitivity.
The new AG-EZ50U is a high-performance digital video camera/recorder that's small enough to fit the palm of your hand yet is packed with Panasonic's advanced digital video technologies. Our 3CCD system assures exceptional picture quality, while the innovative "LEICA DICOMAR" lens lets you take shots that are rich in detail and expressivity. The Optical Image Stabilizer delivers clear, jitter-free shots. A builtin, dedicated still-image circuit lets you use the AG-EZ50U to take digital still pictures with 1,680,000 pixels, and an SD/MMC card slot and DV (IEEE1394) In/Out terminal make it easy to transfer picture data to PCs and DV equipment. The compact, lightweight AG-EZ50U has all the functions and performance needed in a wide range of business applications.
"LEICA DICOMAR" Lens Leica's world-renowned optical technology has been joined with Panasonic's industryleading video technology to create the "LEICA DICOMAR" video camera lens. This ground-breaking unit uses a total of 13 high-quality lenses, including three aspherical lenses, to render rich, expressive images with minimal chromatic aberration. A multi-coating treatment also reduces flare and ensures clear, beautiful images even in difficult shooting conditions. * Leica is a registered trademark of Leica Microsystems IR GmbH.

Superior DV Digital Recording The DV format's 8-bit digital compression recording system provides superior pictures with subtle color, and the 16-bit DV sound system rivals CDs in quality. Select either 48-kHz/16-bit 2-channel audio, or 32kHz/12-bit 4-channel audio.
MEGA-Pixel Still-Image Recording on a SD Card The AG-EZ50U incorporates a dedicated image-processing circuit for shooting still pictures. A 4x-density pixel configuration delivers high-resolution images with 1,680,000 pixels (1,488 x 1,128). Data is stored on Panasonic's "SD Memory Card" – a next-generation media that's about the size of a postage stamp yet holds up to 64 MB of data. That means a single SD Memory Card can store up to 180 still pictures at 1,680,000 pixels, or 1,760 VGA images (640 x 480). With the LEICA DICOMAR lens and 3CCD system, the AG-EZ50U serves as a truly high-performance digital still camera.
Optical Image Stabilizer The AG-EZ50U's optical jitter-correction system overcomes the jitter problem that plagues many handheld camera/ recorders. This system, which uses a high-speed linear motor to drive the lens, is especially effective for on-the-move shooting and when taking still shots. Since it minimizes imagequality degradation and field-angle change, the function can be kept ON almost any time you're shooting.

5-Mode Program AE
An IEEE1394 "Firewire" 4-pin digital interface terminal on the rear panel makes it easy to upload data to a PC for non linear editing without quality loss. You can also dub to or from Panasonic's AG-DV1000 or AG-DV2000 DV VTRs or other DV VTR with no quality loss.
The AG-EZ50U comes preset with the ideal combinations of iris size and shutter speed for a variety of subjects and shooting conditions. Select from a total of five program AE modes: sports, portrait, spotlight, surf & snow, and low light. Enjoy quick, easy operation and great results.
Manual Focus, Manual Iris and More
5-Mode Auto White Balance
In manual mode, the AG-EZ50U gives you the freedom to take creative shots with rich expressivity. The large-diameter focus ring delivers a level of focusing precision that rivals many professional cameras. The multi-function push dial lets you adjust the iris (with up to +18 dB gain-up) and the shutter speed. In auto mode, the AG-EZ50U is ready to record immediately, without settings or adjustments. An AE lock mode also lets you fix the brightness setting for auto-mode recordings.
The AG-EZ50U provides five white balance modes: auto, manual, and preset fluorescent, indoor, and outdoor modes. You can choose quick or precise white balance adjustment, depending on the shooting situation.
10x Optical/100x Super Digital Zoom The AG-EZ50U is not only equipped with 10x optical and 25x digital zoom functions, it also adds the incredible magnifying power of a 100x super digital zoom.* You can move from a wide-angle shot to full zoom in only about 1.3 seconds, letting you quickly frame a shot while in REC pause mode. * Picture quality tends to deteriorate at higher digital zoom levels.
Digital Effect Functions The AG-EZ50U gives you an array of digital special effects to use, including Multi-Picture, Picturein-Picture, Wipe, Mix, Strobe,
Gain-up, Trail, Mosaic, Mirror, Nega, Sepia, Black and White, and Solarization.
Additional Features • One-Touch Backlight Compensation Function • Wireless Remote Control over major functions, including zoom in/out • Large, 3.5-inch color LCD monitor and viewfinder • Convenient playback search functions: Blank Search, Photo Index Search, and Scene Index Search • Mic input, audio-video input/output, and S-video input/output • MC protector (Multi-Coating Lens Protector) equipped. • ND filter
Broadcast Digital Quality for Professional Use Using the AJ-CS455 adaptor, mini-DV cassettes can be played back and recorded* by a DVCPRO VTR. This means that you can utilize mini-DV cassettes as media in DVCPRO production systems. Panasonic’s Emmy Award-winning DVCPRO format is the industry’s standard for digital acquisition and recording, and the most rapidly adopted professional video format in history. *Recording is possible only with AJ-D455 DVCPRO recorder. Also, DVCPRO systems cannot play back DV tapes recorded in LP mode, or long-play Mini-DV tapes (SP mode — 80 min.; LP mode — 120 min.).
