The camera records onto MiniDVcassette tapes, among other standard formats[3], with the final model of the camera series released in 2005.[4]
In the Chinese market, model AG-DVC180B was sold as the lesser-known model and was functionally identical to the European version of the AG-DVC180E (PAL system).[5]
The original version records footage in a 4:3aspect ratio. Later revisions added support for widescreen recording and improved monitoring features. All models use CCD sensors with 410,000 total pixels (approx. 380,000 effective).[7]
It supports 24P and 24PA recording modes using telecine pull-down methods (2:3 and 2:3:3:2), along with 30p and standard interlaced 60i (50i in PAL). The camera features "Cine-Gamma" profiles to approximate the tonal range of film.
Audio inputs include two professional-grade XLR ports. For video transfer, the device includes IEEE 1394 (FireWire), along with analog S-Video and RCA connections. Additional features include manual/servo zoom, handle-mounted zoom/record control for low-angle shots, and neutral density (ND) filters.[8]
The camera's built-in ND filters include ND1 (1/8 light reduction, ≈ 3 stops) and ND2 (1/64 light reduction, ≈ 6 stops), providing exposure control without changing shutter speed.[9]
