The HC-X20 is engineered to deliver 4K high-precision autofocus, now enhanced with new face detection technology for sharper, more accurate subject capture. The advanced 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ system guarantees stable, shake-free recording, even when shooting at full zoom or from challenging angles, thanks to its innovative Ball O.I.S. System that minimizes friction and compensates for even the slightest of hand movements. At the heart of the HC-X20 lies a high-sensitivity 1.0-type MOS sensor, boasting approximately 15.03 effective megapixels, which captures UHD 3840 x 2160 footage without cropping, offering a perfect balance between high image quality and sensitivity.

The HC-X20 also introduces the highly efficient HEVC codec for high bit rate recording at 59.94p. Creative expression is at your fingertips with the Super Slow Motion feature, capturing HD footage at 120/100 fps for dramatic slow-motion sequences, and the VFR function that allows frame rate adjustments from 2 to 60 fps for overcranking or undercranking effects. The HC-X20's network functions expand your creative possibilities, with built-in Wi-Fi for wireless control via the HC-ROP app and the ability to stream live events directly to platforms like Facebook and YouTube using RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS protocols. Designed with the professional in mind, the HC-X20 features a high-resolution 3.5-inch LCD monitor and a 2,360K-dot tiltable viewfinder for simultaneous image confirmation. Triple Manual Rings provide tactile control over zoom, focus, and iris, while 14 customizable User buttons ensure quick access to frequently used functions. The camcorder also supports IR shooting with commercially available lights for low-light scenarios. Dual SD Card slots offer unlimited relay recording and various recording modes for extended shoots, while the integrated audio system delivers 48-kHz/24-bit high-resolution linear PCM audio recording with selectable XLR inputs and manual volume control.
