Panasonic AU-EVA1 5.7K Super 35 Handheld Camera

AU-EVA1 | Cinema Compact Camera

Cinematic Run & Gun with 5.7K Super 35mm Sensor

Panasonic AU-EVA1 with its 5.7K Super 35 mm Sensor is tailor-made for handheld shooting. Thanks to its small dimensions and weight operator can use it on gimbals, drones and light Jibs. The EVA1 is well suited for documentaries, independent filmmaking and music videos as well as B roll camera for bigger productions.

Panasonic’s newly developed AU-EVA1 5.7K Super 35mm sensor, yields a higher resolving image when down-sampled to 4K, UHD, 2K, or even 720p. As result images produce increased colour information results in a finer and more accurate finished image.

The EVA1 includes dual native ISO like the VariCam 35, VariCam LT and VariCam Pure. Utilising a process that allows the sensor to be read in a fundamentally different way, dual native ISO extracts more information from the sensor without degrading the image. This results in a camera that can switch from a standard sensitivity to a high sensitivity while maintaining the same dynamic range and V-LOG curve without any electronic gain. Dual native ISO is allowing cinematographers to use less light on set, saving time and money, as well as allowing for a great variety of artistic choices. EVA1 delivers 14-stops of Dynamic Range, enabling fine gradation in exposure from bright to dark.

Panasonic’s Dual Native ISO extracts more information from the sensor without degrading the image. This results in a camera that can switch from a standard sensitivity to a high sensitivity with almost no increase in noise or other artefacts. Dual Native ISOs are 800 and 2,500, which will allow cinematographers to shoot in almost any lighting environment.
