Not only can you capture Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) with the HC-VX870 4K Ultra HD Camcorder from Panasonic - but you can superimpose a secondary video image from your smartphone's camera via a Wi-Fi connection In this way - covering two camera angles at once within a single recording becomes possible Other notable features include a 20x optical zoom lens with a 295 to 626mm equivalent focal length - giving you a wide angle when zoomed out - a substantial amount of telephoto when zoomed in - and a lot to work with in between For slowing fast action - the HC-VX870 captures 120 fps native slow-motion at 1080p resolution - which can be slowed down even further using in-camera interpolation - giving you a 240 fps final video Through their lens design partnership with Leica - Panasonic incorporated a Leica Dicomar 20x optical zoom lens with four separate optical groups and a maximum aperture of f/18 To keep excessive image vibration to a minimum - for steadier handheld shooting - the HC-VX870K features Panasonic's HYBRID OIS+ - which combines optical and digital image stabilization to provide 5-axis correction Adjustable settings allow you to find a stabilization mode most appropriate for the kind of shooting you are doing From OFF for tripod work - to Normal for regular handheld work - all the way up to Strong for those times when things really get shaky The HC-VX870's Wi-Fi does more than let you capture video from your phone's camera as a secondary camera angle You can preview a live image on your mobile device using the Panasonic Image App and change camera settings If the camera has Internet access - you can even upload web-friendly copies of videos and photos directly to social media websites Plus - there's a Baby Monitor function which lets you use the camera like an IP surveillance camera - viewing a remote feed across the Internet
