Designed for creators on the move, the Panasonic X1200 Camcorder is lightweight, compact, and easy to handle, with a high-capacity battery that lasts up to 6 hours and 10 minutes (60 Hz). The lens goes from 25mm* wide-angle to 600mm telephoto, with 24x optical zoom—extendable to 32x in 4K or 48x in FHD (35mm equivalent). Face Detection keeps your focus sharp and exposure spot-on, while color recognition makes tracking smooth. The 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S. ensures steady shots, and the Ball O.I.S. System handles even subtle blurs with ease. Capture stunning 4K at 59.94p/50p with 100 Mbps HEVC recording or go for dramatic super slow-motion at 120fps/100fps in 10-bit FHD. Thanks to this camcorder's advanced cooling system with an ultrathin fan, you get uninterrupted 4K 60p recording in a lightweight, portable body. * 35mm camera equivalent.
Features:
Panasonic X1200 realizes 4K 60p shooting with unparalleled optical performance such as a wide-angle 25mm* lens and optical 24x zoom, as well as a long-life battery to support long hours of shooting in a compact body.
Light, Bright, Sharp Video - Anywhere, Anytime
You only get one chance to capture an important event, often from far away or in the dark. The lightweight, compact, powerful Panasonic X1200 camcorder provides clear, stable video in sharp 4K 60p resolution, with wide-angle 25mm* lens and optical 24x zoom, as well as a long-life battery.
Powerful and Portable, with Long Battery Life
Included high-capacity battery provides 6 hours and 10 minutes of shooting (60 Hz), with a well-balanced, compact body that's easy to hold for long periods of time.
Wide Lens and Powerful Zoom
From 25mm* wide-angle to 600mm* telephoto with 24x optical zoom, plus i.ZOOM for up to 32x in 4K and 48x in FHD, ideal for a wide range of shots. * 35mm camera equivalent
4K High-Precision Autofocus
Face Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out of focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also, by adding color recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.
Image Stabilization for Blur-Free Results
In addition to Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction in the drive section, especially improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring.
Versatile Recording Mode
Supports a high bit rate of 100 Mbps for 4K 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MP4) codec, and 120/100fps* Super Slow-motion with 10-bit recording in FHD.*59.94Hz: 120fps, 50Hz: 100fps.
Heat-Dispersing Design
The heat dispersion structure equipped with an ultrathin fan enables a compact, lightweight body to be combined with ultra high definition 4K 60p recording.
Environmental Care and Initiatives
Recycled materials are used for the packaging boxes and molded pulp, and white ink is used for recyclability. It is also compatible with the versatile USB-PD standard to reduce environmental impact.
