Panasonic’s new 4K30p movie-shootable wearable camera HX-A500 will be available in most markets on June 12. The HX-A500 has a unique style where its body and lens parts are separated. So, while the lens is positioned and worn, you can control the camera through the body part.
It features an effective 90.3MP 1/2.3 inch BSI MOS sensor, the image processor Crystal Engine Pro+, F2.8 lens, 1.5-inch LCD display, and Wi-Fi/NFC ability. It supports recording video at 3840×2160/30p (Max. 72Mbps/VBR), compressing in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, and saving as an MP4 file.
The “Movie Slide Show” editing function is interesting. It automatically extracts highlights from multiple movies and creates a short movie with movie effects and music. There are 2 shooting modes: Dynamic mode and Natural mode.
