Panasonic AG-HPX500, Brochure & Specs

• One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode

records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you

press the Start button. 

• Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2

frames to 10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special

ultra-undercranking effects.

Clip Thumbnail/Data Function

The P2 cam records each recording as a clip (file) and automatically

attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a

clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the

clip you want from the list of thumbnails. 

The thumbnail image and file information can also be displayed on a

PC (using P2 Viewer*) or nonlinear editing software.

* P2 Viewer software for Windows PCs can be downloaded, free of charge.

Shot Marker and Text Memo

A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can be

added to each clip during or after recording. When a P2 card with

marked clips is inserted in a PC*, it's possible to have only the

marked clips displayed.  The AG-HPX500 also has a text memo

function. When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo

button at any of up to 100 locations and a blank text memo label is

registered. On your PC*, you can then search for the label and write

a memo into it.

* Must have P2 Viewer installed

SD Memory Card Slot

Plug an SD card into the slot provided, and you can save or load

scene files and user-setting files. You can create a metadata upload

file (produced with P2 Viewer) containing information such as the

name of the camera operator, the name of the reporter, the

recording location, and text memos on an SD Memory Card, and

load it as clip metadata.
