Continual development is the key to success for any camcorder and our latest
AG-HMC40 is an excellent example for that proposition. Don’t let its size or its
price fool you. During our lab tests, we were astonished at the high resolution
and faithful color reproduction output from this just over 2 lb. camera! At the
recent Infocomm Show, many customers were amazed that such a compact &
lightweight camera could create such high quality Video and Stills. We blew
customers away with the HMC40’s Pre Record function. No more will they
miss the shot they need. Many were surprised to see the remote ports for
Zoom, Focus, Iris and Start/Stop capability in a camera at this price level (and
they thought it was going to list at $3,195…read on for price reveal).

A few shooters were taken aback when I changed the recording format by simply touching the LCD
touch screen display! When asked about record time, we explained the standard 2640 mA battery
can last for over 3 hours but we also offer a 5,800 mA battery that can last for about 7 hours.
Customers were surprised to see the remaining battery life read out to the minute with its Info Data
lithium Ion batteries. Some attendees were involved in legal or law enforcement applications and were
happy to see that we included Time Date stamp. There are a host of shooter assists to ensure your
customer gets the shot such as the Waveform Monitor for luminance and Histogram for sharp manual
focus. The focus ring can be assigned to Iris and Zoom as well. A few sharp shooters noticed the
smooth gradation of the manual Iris which would allow them to make minor adjustments during
recording.

With six times the detail of standard definition, an ATSC Color System and a widescreen view set up
the way our eyes were meant to see…the High Definition AG-HMC40, at its standard definition price
point, is a no-brainer! It shoots in four different quality levels including the 21 Mbps PH Mode. Within
the PH mode, they can choose six different formats. And its newer MPEG 4 H.264 compression
scheme is significantly better than the older MPEG 2 and is so efficient, even the six Mbps HE mode
yields beautiful HD quality truly democratizing HD production!

Compact and Lightweight
In applications where the camcorder is held for hours, shooters will really appreciate its compact size
and light weight. It records to SD Cards which are so readily available and so reasonably priced.

Its Multi Style provides a variety of benefits
Simple & mobile
Handle included for multi-angle shooting
Tricked Out for Pro Audio

Its three different configurations allow your customer to customize their HMC40 shooting style with
options to meet their own needs. Imagine discreetly shooting very high quality Full HD Video & 10.6
MP Stills while masquerading as a consumer in locations that might confiscate media from
“Professional” cameras. With its handle (included), the shooter can easily shoot at very low angles
such as skateboards or dancing feet at a wedding. Professionals need great audio and with the
optional AG-MYA30G attached, the customer now has two locking XLR inputs, complete with hard
switches for Line and Mic with +48V Phantom Power, Manual level controls, and Internal/External
assignment. The state-of-the-art HMC40 will also appeal to photojournalists who now have the need
to shoot high quality stills and high quality video.

Interval Recording
The Interval Recording is a feature found in our much more expensive Solid State cameras. Users
can choose to record from one frame a second to one frame every two minutes. This compresses
the time it takes for a flower to open, the sun to set, or a building to be built and is also indispensable
for studying traffic patterns.

Touch Panel LCD
Navigating the Menus has never been easier. Play a clip just by touching
the picon on the LCD panel. Detailed settings such as scene files and
recording formats can be quickly and easily changed… even in the dark

How does it differ from our HMC150?

As you can see when it comes to a professional solid state long-GOP 4:2:0 camcorder value, there
simply is no comparison. The HMC40 records very high quality stills, three to twelve hours of beautiful HD
video on one inexpensive, easy-to-find SD memory card. The HMC40 has a 12X lens
with a slow smooth zoom, with wireless and wired remote capability. It features Pre-Record, Interval
recording capability as well as Time Date, all at an economic stimulus price. The camera and your
customer’s recording media costs will be significantly less than the JVC model. The HMC40's codec
is scalable too! The HM100 can record at 19, 25 or 35 Mbps, but the HMC40 can go as low as 6
Mbps, meaning it can record much more footage, with a more efficient codec up to 12 hours on a
single card. Add to all that, amazing still picture performance, very long record and battery time and
professional audio capabilities at a price that will make it an instant hit with a wide range of AV
shooters, indie creators and event video professionals.

PictBridge capability
PictBridge allows the AG-HMC40 to connect and print directly
to any brand of photo printer with PictBridge - no PC is required, just a USB cable.

Playback in Consumer devices
SD Memory Card slots for playback of High Definition content recorded in the AVCHD format can
be found in Blu-ray players, Plasma TV’s as well as laptop computers, Game consoles and even the
WD player.

As to the INs & OUTs of the HMC40, shooters will be happy to see: HDMI Output, Analog
Component Output (Mini D Port), AV mini jack output (video and audio), headphone output and
external mic input (3.5mm).

Competitive Advantages of the AG-HMC40
· Solid state capture and playback eliminates the problems inherent in tape and disc drives, while
allowing high quality HD content to be captured on affordable, readily available SD cards
· An End User who loves AVCCAM remarked: “Remember, to capture HDV it takes real time and a
VCR. With solid state, we can log and transfer only the clips we want and we can transfer up to 12
hours overnight and go to sleep. With tape's 63 minutes maximum, we would have to get up to
change the tape every 63 minutes!”
· Its 21 Mbps PH mode (Max 24 Mbps) records far higher picture quality than HDV tape systems
· MPEG-2 compression works with blocks of only 16 X 16 pixels, whereas H.264 compression
works with blocks down to 4 X 4 pixels. What’s more, AVCHD’s prediction looks at more frames
forward and backward
· Continuous, silent recording of up to 12 hours with Time Date Stamp is a powerful capability
· No head wear, alignment or cleaning and backed by a Three Year Parts & Labor Warranty
· Lower storage needs and lower distribution costs
· 43mm diameter lens allows our wide angle & telephoto HD capable attachment lenses (increased
flexibility)
· Interval Recording, Pre-Record and Time Date Stamp as well as available 5,800 mAh battery (7
Hours)
· Immediate playback, random access and the ability to preview shots and delete on location
· Built on a one piece carbon fiber chassis that is compact, well balanced and weighs less than 2.2 lbs.

Summary
One quote from a magazine’s reviewer: “I love small, affordable cameras that shoot great video. And
so does the marketplace. You're going to be a busy man!”

As you can see, there’s more to the AG-HMC40 than meets the eye. With Full HD video and 10.6
MP stills in one compact unit, it’s the only “two cameras” your customer will ever need! Its low price
might even result in multiple camera sales so the job can be shot from different angles providing lots of
cutaways which make for a more exciting edited program.

Showcasing a host of shooter innovations and technology, we trust that with this compelling feature
set and its motivating price, you will agree that the “must have” AG-HMC40 represents an
outstanding opportunity for your business.

2-Ch XLR adaptor with Mic Holder, Phantom Power



The Panasonic AG-MYA30G is an integrated XLR input adapter
and microphone holder designed for use with the AG-DVC30 and AG-DVC32
and AG HMC40 video cameras. The unit features 2 XLR inputs that can
be independently switched to accept mic-level or line-level signal. An attenuation
switch (ATT) increases headroom when using exceedingly "hot" microphones
that overload the input and cause distortion. Each channel is equipped
with its own level control and the adapter will supply +48V phantom power
to condenser microphones.

• Dual Channel
Dual XLR inputs (Channel 1 / Channel 2) allow dual mono or stereo signal
capturing. Independent level controls are featured for added control over
input signal.

• Mic / Line Level Switchable
The inputs are individually switchable to accept signal from microphones
or line level devices.

• Attenuation Switch
An attenuation (ATT) switch provides additional headroom when using
exceedingly hot microphones that overload the input.

• 48Volt Phantom Power
The adapter provides +48V phantom power to condenser microphones.
