Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors
to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked
shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are
estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real
time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in
the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade
and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights.

Switch Between DV and AVCHD PH/PS Mode for High Image and Sound Quality
High-Quality, Multi-Format Professional AVCHD PH Mode
DV Recording Mode Supported
The AG-AC160A/AC130A use the AVCHD recording format and also
support the high-image-quality PH mode. AVCHD complies with
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile, the latest motion picture
compression technology. Boasting more than twice the compression
efficiency of MPEG-2 systems (such as HDV), this advanced video
file format delivers superb image quality and low data rates.
The PH mode was developed exclusively for AVCCAM and records
1920 x 1080 Full-HD images. The AVCHD PH mode is also
compatible with multiple HD formats, such as 1080/59.94i,
1080/29.97p, 1080/23.98p and 720/59.94p. (See the chart below.)

Undercranking (lower-speed shooting) gives you a quick-motion
Variable Frame Rate —
Full-HD (1080p) VFR Recording*
The Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function was inherited from the
Panasonic VariCam, which is widely used for producing movies, TV
series and TV commercials. It creates a wide range of film-camera-
like images, such as overcranking for slow-motion and
effect. This technique can be combined with a warp-speed effect to
give special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds, etc. For
example, when a scene is shot at 12 fps and played at 24 fps, a
quick-motion effect of 2x is attained.
undercranking for quick-motion effects. The AG-AC160A's VFR
function* supports Full-HD (1920 x 1080) progressive mode.
*AG-AC130A does not support VFR function. The VFR function can be selected at PH mode only. It
doesn't support 1080/60p, 50p playback and 720p mode. For VFR recording, class 6 or faster
SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card is required.

• Interval Rec: Records one frame at a time in set intervals (1 sec.,
10 sec., 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min.). Only in 1080/24p and 25p mode.
Audio recording not possible (AVCHD mode only).
• Pre-rec: While in standby mode, the camera recorder can
continuously store, and subsequently record, up to approximately 3
seconds. This helps to ensure that you always get the shot you want.
• Shot mark: Allows convenient OK or NG marking, and can be
added to each clip during or after recording.
*When recording at 2 fps, the gain value is locked at 0 dB and the camera is set to manual
focus mode.
Normal cinematic shooting (at 24 fps, 25 fps or 30 fps) refers to
the same rate as used in film cameras. The AG-AC160A can record
at 24 fps. Note that 25 fps and 30 fps are the standard frame rates
used in producing TV commercials, music clips and video media.
• Index: Scenes can be marked with up to 100 index flags per clip
(AVCHD mode only).
• Rec check: You can check the end of the most recently recorded
clip with one-touch ease.
• Last clip delete: Only the most recently recorded clip is deleted
with one-touch ease.
• Time stamp: The date and time can be stamped onto recorded
images. Commonly used for recording evidentiary depositions and
procedures.
Overcranking (higher-speed shooting) produces a slow-motion
effect. This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car
chases or crashes, or to create a dramatic impact in a scene. For
example, when a scene is shot at 48 fps and played at 24 fps, a
slow-motion effect of 1/2x is attained.
SMPTE Time-Code Recording and Synchro Function
The built-in SMPTE time-code generator lets you select the Drop
Frame/Non-Drop Frame and Free Run/Rec Run modes and preset.
User bits are also provided. Connecting two cameras with a TC
preset in/out (video out) connector allows the slave camera to
synchronize with the master camera.*
*After synchronization, each camera's time-code runs separately and cannot be guaranteed to
match precisely.
