3 reviews for Panasonic HC-VX1

  1. BB

    Great value for money. I only use it for a few days. So far, all the pros.

  2. taplic

    I used to have old Sony HDR CX330 – this is a far better model 4K – not necessary for me – but FHD is awesome. Much birther and less noise than old HDR.

  3. Lucy Luu

    Comfortable to use, programmable buttons, the sound quality is quite sufficient for me. If necessary, an external VideoMic Pro can be attached, it works great.

    The problem is that the size of the matrix is much smaller than in the DSLR and let’s face it – the dynamics in low light do not knock you down.

    On the other hand, it is not equipment for shooting atmospheric music videos or commercials, but rather for home and reportage use.
    The advantage is that the camera does not lose focus and the low-light autofocus software works as it should.
    I use it mainly for video production for YouTube and as a camera for filming family and occasional meetings.
    I am not a professional filmmaker in terms of profit, apart from YouTube.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the basic steps to connect my Panasonic HC-VX1 camcorder to my computer for video transfer?

To connect your Panasonic HC-VX1 camcorder to your computer, follow these simple steps:

1. Gather necessary cables: You need a USB cable that came with your HC-VX1 or you can buy an original Panasonic USB cable from the company's website or an authorized retailer. This cable has a standard USB Type A connector on one end and a proprietary connector (Type I) on the other end which fits into the camcorder.

2. Connect the camcorder to your computer: Plug the proprietary connector of the USB cable into the HC-VX1's USB port located at the bottom of the camcorder. The USB port is a small round or square opening that may be hidden by a rubber cover which you can slide away before plugging in the cable.

3. Power on your camcorder: Turn on the power switch, usually located on the top right side of the camcorder, to ensure it's switched on and connected with your computer.

4. Install Panasonic's software suite (PFS): If you haven't already, download and install PFS (Panasonic's File Studio) from Panasonic’s website or a trusted source. This software is necessary for managing files on your camcorder as well as transferring video files to your computer.

5. Launch the PFS software: Once installed, open the PFS program on your computer. The software will automatically detect your connected HC-VX1 and display it under the "Devices" tab in the main window.

6. Transfer videos from camcorder to computer: Click on the device name (e.g., HC-VX1) in the PFS interface, then navigate to the folder containing your desired video clips. Select these files and click 'Copy' or 'Move' depending on whether you want to keep them on the camera or move them to your computer respectively.

7. Complete the transfer process: Wait for the file(s) to be successfully copied or moved from the camcorder to your computer. The duration of this step depends on the size and number of files being transferred.

8. Safely eject your camcorder: Once all videos have been transferred, safely eject your HC-VX1 by right-clicking on its device icon in the PFS software and selecting "Eject" or simply unplugging the USB cable from both ends.

Remember to handle your camcorder with care during these steps, especially while connecting and disconnecting cables to prevent any damage to your valuable equipment.
