Geared for the Professional
The HC-PV100, a Full-HD camcorder, comfortably assists professional camera work with 3 manual rings, XLR mic/line inputs, and a 20x zoom lens. A bright LED video light also supports shooting in dim light.

1/3.1-inch BSI Sensor

Brilliant Videos in Low Light

The HC-PV100's advanced BSI Sensor captures brilliant, high-quality images in dim lighting conditions. That means you can record beautiful scenes and objects under a variety of conditions and in any situation, including indoor scenes and nightscapes, with low noise distortion.

Built-in LED Video Light

Reliable Shooting in Nighttime Scenes and Dark Places

The video light is extremely bright (300 lx at 1 meter), for reliable shooting in dimly lit places. A diffusion filter softens the light source, and a colour conversion filter converts the colour temperature.

Dual SD Card Slot

Relay Recording with Hot Swap
When the first card becomes full, the system automatically and seamlessly switches to the second card. And Hot Swap Recording lets the user exchange the card while shooting. This means that recorded cards can be exchanged one after another with blank cards for endless recording.*
*The file is divided every 10 hours.

Simultaneous Recording
The same data is recorded onto both cards, so you don't have to worry about losing the data.

Optical 20x Zoom

More Dynamic and Emotional Memories

By driving each of four lens groups separately, the drive ranges are reduced, resulting in high image quality and high-powered zooming, with a compact camera body.

5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. +

Clear, Blurless Results

HYBRID O.I.S.+ uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring caused by unwanted shake – whether you are shooting with a wide angle or at high zoom. This lets you capture crisp, clear images in virtually every shooting situation.

Professional Functions: 3 manual rings/2-channel XLR terminals

1/3.1-inch Sensor: Excellent picture quality in dim lighting

Built-in LED Video Light: 2 filters included
