The
Panasonic DVX200 is quite the unique camcorder. It features a 4/3 type 4K CMOS large sensor and a fantastic 13x zoom fixed Leica Dicomar lens all into a familiar handheld camcorder design. Just earlier today, Panasonic release the latest firmware 1.40 for the camera which adds support for a wireless remote control via an iPad app as well as other improvements.
Firmware Version 1.40 Details
- Support for ROP application software for iPad, “AG ROP App”, is supported. It enables remote control via Wi-Fi connection.
- Wi-Fi module : AJ-WM30 (Panasonic) , USB-N53 (ASUS)
- Accuracy of Zoom Tracking (focus controlling during the zoom motion) is improved.
- V-Log L View Assist function is improved so that it starts/stops working by ON/OFF switching of USER button instead of holding it down.
- MODE CHK function is improved so that the states of AWB Ach and Bch (“OK” or “NG”) are also indicated.
The new AG ROP app enables wireless remote control of the
AG-DVX200's picture quality adjustment, zoom, focus, and REC start/stop from an iPad. This allows easy touch control with an existing iPad, to further expand the mobility of the AG-DVX200 with crane and jib use compatibility.
The AG ROP (Remote Operation Panel) app
is available for downloading, free of charge, from the Apple App Store starting on January 18, 2016.
