Panasonic DVX100
Overview
The Panasonic AG-DVX100 is the video camera used in support of Sight and Sound II in the Film and Media Culture Department. We have three different versions of this camera ("100", "100A", "100B") and each version has minor differences making it important to identify the model AND customize settings BEFORE shooting. This camera records to miniDV tape in NTSC format at a resolution of 720 x 480. It has the ability to record in 24p mode which mimics the frame rate aesthetics of film.
