The AG-CX350 Book: Features
Wide-Angle 24.5mm*1 Optical 20x Zoom, plus i.Zoom

Panasonic boasts the world’s largest market share in the aspherical lens segment. Its cutting-edge
optical technology was maximized in the development of the integrated lens used in the AG-CX350.
This lens has the industry’s widest angle of 24.5mm*1 on the wide end and allows recording ofwide-angle images with minimal distortion, without the use of a conversion lens. The optical 20x
zoom covers up to 490mm telephoto in all modes. Furthermore, the i.Zoom enables seamlesszooming of up to 32x in HD or up to 24x in UHD from the telephoto end with no degradation in
resolution. The AG-CX350 also comes with digital 2x/ 5x/ 10x zoom.*2*1 In 35mm equivalent. The AG-CX350’s wide 24.5mm angle is the widest in the industry for
UHD/FHD (16:9). In the segment of camcorders with integrated lens, the Panasonic
AG-UX180 achieved the industry’s widest angle of 24mm in UHD/24p (17:9). For UHD/FHD(16:9), 25.4mm is the widest angle in the industry. (Both as of January 2019, according to a
Panasonic survey)*2 When using the digital zoom, picture quality degrades as the magnification rate increases.

New High-Definition, High-Sensitivity 1.0-type 15M MOS Sensor
The 1.0-type MOS (approximately 15,030,000
pixels) offers an outstanding depth of field andexcellent balance between image quality andsensitivity. It supports multi-formats, such as UHD(3840 x 2160), FHD, HD and SD, and provides
images without cropping in all modes. This MOS
sensor also boasts high sensitivity of F12 (60 Hz)/F13 (50 Hz) (in both UHD and FHD in HighSensitivity mode).

The AG-CX350 Book: Features
RTSP/RTMP/RTMPS-Compatible HD Streaming (P. 56)
HD streaming is possible while images are being acquired.*1
RTSP, RTMP and RTMPS streaming methods are compatible.*2
And Facebook, YouTube, and other streaming services aresupported. The AG-CX350 can be used for live coverage ofconcerts and sports events as well as for live streaming of
breaking news. Multicast streaming is also supported.

See 4-1. Understanding live streaming feature via YouTube, Facebook(P.56) for more details.
*1: There are some conditions under which streaming is not possible, such as when recording in
UHD format or using NDI|HX mode. Please see the Operating Instruction Manual for details.
*2: The P2 Network Setting Software is convenient for setting up the RTMP and RTMPS functions.
See the section, “Connectivity-verified live video services” for the live video streaming services thathave been confirmed to be compatible.

Wireless Control from a Tablet or Smartphone (P.65)
The AG-CX350 can be controlled remotely and wirelessly using a tablet/smartphone app* 1(available on the App Store and Google Play for free). In addition to zoom, i.Zoom and focus lenscontrol, the app enables remote control of various other functions, including camera setting, picture
quality adjustment, REC start/stop and menu setting. What’s more, the app can be used to selectthe camera to control from up to eight cameras.*2

CX ROP*1: iPad: iOS 9 or later are supported. Android devices: Android 5.0 or later are supported.
Wireless module (sold separately; AJ-WM50 or recommended third-party Wi-Fi dongle) is required.
*2: The app does not support simultaneous/synchronous control of multiple cameras. Camera
switching takes several seconds.

Parallel Output of SDI and HDMI
SDI and HDMI can be output in parallel. Output of UHD video via HDMI and output of HD video inhigh-image-quality 10-bit, 4:2:2 via SDI enable a variety of uses. In HLG shooting, either HDR or
SDR can be selected for each of the SDI, HDMI and LCD video outputs.

The AG-CX350 Book: Understanding scene file operation
The following six different scene presets come standard with the camera, and can be user
customized if required.

5-1. Scene file presets
F1:

Basic setting

F2: FLUO

Suitable for recording where the characteristics of fluorescent lamps are taken
into consideration (example: shooting indoors).
Most of the parameters are equal to “F1:” but the MATRIX is adjusted for
fluorescent lighting. This is not particularly necessary under fluorescent lightingthat closely matches natural light color temperature.
But it is suitable for recording conditions where the color reproduction is poor due
to blue-intense fluorescent lamps.

F3: SPARK

Suitable for recording with richer color level and sharper contrast.
The picture will be dramatic with vivid colors and a bright impression.

F4: B.STR

Suitable for recording where the gradation is expanded in dark areas of the image(e.g. shooting a sunset scene).
This is effective if being used when dark image areas are difficult to see or bothbright and dark scenes need to be seen in detail for example while shooting at
sunset, in a theater or at a wedding.

F5: CINE

Suitable for movie-like recording.

F6: HLG

Record mode in HDR (High Dynamic Range). It allows recording naturally highcontrast images.

See 6-2. Scene file preset (P.85) for detailed menu settings of each preset.
Scene file controls do not work in V-Log filming mode.

The AG-CX350 Book: Understanding scene file operation
5-2. Expressing the texture of objects (detail enhancement)
When expressing the outline or surface texture of an object, faint reflection of light may beintensified or, to the contrary, the picture may look blurred. This is a phenomenon caused by thestrength / weakness of Detail signal to intensify the video signal for the object’s outline.
Adjustment of Detail signal can make the object’s luster or texture look more natural.

5-3-1. Detail control
This is an outline signal which is added to the video signal.
If the Detail level is increased, the edges of video signal will be intensified and outlines in the
picture will look sharper. If the Detail level is decreased, the edges of video signal will be
weakened and the picture will look softer with its outline enhancement suppressed.

5-3-4. DETAIL CORING control
Outline compensation can be performed by adjusting the Detail which enhances outlines and helps
create clear representation of images. But at the same time it may make the picture look coarse
and grainy. This occurs because added Detail will also work on low-level signals which includes
noise.
Detail coring function can adjust the range of added Detail signal but also helps to reduce the noise
introduced by the Detail circuits.
Noise is a low-level signal. So, when Detail coring is set to a higher level than noise signals, theDetail signal will work only on higher-brightness signals, and not on the noise.
By using this control, the outline of an object can be enhanced and its texture will look the same
while the effects of increased image coarseness are suppressed.

5-3-5. LEVEL DEPENDENT control
To avoid appearance of noise component in dark areas, detail signal at these levels aresuppressed. This control adjusts detail signal level in the area.

5-3-6. KNEE APE control
When compressing highlight portions with KNEE control due to overexposed image (blown-out
highlights), detail signals will also be compressed and may cause softening in highlight areas.
This can be compensated by using KNEE APE LEVEL control.

5-4. Expressing the gradation of an image (Knee, Gamma)
5-4-1. KNEE control
Due to bright sunny weather or lighting, “blown-out highlights” can sometimes occur, where brightareas look completely white with little to no detail visible. This is a phenomenon caused by theluminance signals that are out of the camera’s Dynamic Range (processing range). In order toput such high-brightness input signals within the camera’s Dynamic Range, Knee function can beused to compress the gradations.

5-4-2. GAMMA settings
There are cases where the color and contrast, which look natural to the eye, are not fully
reproduced in the captured image. An effective way to improve the gradation of the output signal is
to select a suitable Gamma curve according to the scene conditions. The AG-CX350 series offers
eight types of different Gamma curves.
Outputsignallevel

Input brightness level
HD:
This is a video Gamma characteristic for HD (High Definition). This Gamma complies with thestandards defined by ARIB, EBU, SMPTE, etc. Use this for the purpose of normal HD
shooting.
SD:
Gain is increased for dark areas more so than HD Gamma. This Gamma curve can be used
for shooting in SD mode, or for HD shooting that needs the same Gamma as used in SD
shooting.
FILMLIKE 1:
Compared with HD Gamma, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better. Using this Gamma curve which gently slopes for the
low-brightness area, makes the picture look calm. Contrast becomes sharper and thegradation expression of the middle- and high-brightness areas (face, etc.) is extended.
FILMLIKE 2:
Compared with FILM LIKE 1, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.
FILMLIKE 3:
Compared with FILM LIKE 2, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.
FILM REC
This Gamma gives priority to the Dynamic Range and maintains the gradation that ranges
evenly from low to high level. Black stretch level (level control for dark areas) can be adjustedwith “F REC BLACK STRETCH menu item.
VIDEO REC
This is a cinema like gamma characteristic. Knee point can be adjusted with “V-REC KNEEPOINT” menu item.
HLG
This is a Hybrid Log Gamma characteristics for wider dynamic range filming..

5-4-3. BLACK GAMMA control
Dark parts of the image can be lifted or suppressed with this control. See below for the concept.

MENU > SCENE FILE >(Factory default settings underlined)[BLACK GAMMA] -8 - - - 0 - - - 8
Sets gamma characteristic for dark part of the image.

Black Gamma: - (minus) direction

Black Gamma: + (plus) direction

Dark part is lifted

By utilizing Black gamma control, dark parts of the image such as hair lines, casted shadows
etc. can be expressed without changing brightness of entire image.
