20x Optical Zoom with 4-Drive Lens System By driving each lens group separately, drive ranges are reduced to deliver high-image quality and high-powered zooming. It also keeps the body compact, even with a 20x optical zoom.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie Capture clear Shots with Excellent Detail in Both Bright and Dark Areas. By combining two images taken with different exposure times, the HDR Movie function suppresses blown highlights and blocked shadows for crisper, clearer videos. This is the world's first* consumer camcorder to feature the HDR Movie function. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily record true-to-life videos with excellent gradation.

* In a consumer Full-HD video camera. As of January 5th, 2015.
Wireless Twin Camera—Use Your Smartphone as a Sub Camera Using your smartphone's Wi-Fi, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. And because you're shooting with two different cameras, you shoot from any distance or angle you choose for a variety of Picture-in-Picture images.
BSI Sensor The Back Side Illumination Sensor has a large effective area with 6.03M effective pixels, suppressing noise even when shooting in dimly lit conditions, such as indoor scenes or nightscapes. It delivers stunningly beautiful images even down to the tiniest details. Crystal Engine is Panasonic's unique, high-speed engine lets you shoot and play smooth Slow Motion Video in Full-HD. Its Noise Reduction function reduces noise for crisp, vibrantly colorful Full-HD images.

Reviews

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by I wish I would have never sold it. I purchased this camera in December of 2014. I unfortunately had to sell it in August 2015. I regret that decision. I'm a Panasonic only camera user. I own the GH3, GH4, and X920. Each has its place and purpose, and the v770 was perfect for high speed video, especially kids sports. The microphone is incredible and I plan to purchase the 4K version of it. February 18, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by HC-V770K - great intro-level videocam Mostly easy to use, nice screen features, zoom is pretty impressive. I use with a Zoom H5 audio recorder (meaning this item has added versatility) and it's great for a break-in indy news reporter, interviews, as well as wildlife recording. December 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Still would prefer a DSLR It has most of what you get with a DSLR and is a lot smaller and lighter weight. Surprisingly good quality footage and a large number of exposure settings. In order to adjust f-stop, shutter, focus, etc, you have to push a lot of menu buttons. I wish there were buttons on the housing that were dedicated to controlling these. There isn't an exposure meter. Since you can change the LCD screen brightness, contrast, color, etc, you don't really know what your exposure is. I wish there was a meter or zebra. There isn't a neck strap. That makes me nervous. The battery doesn't last long probably because the LCD screen uses too much power. I wish I could look through a viewfinder. October 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love Love Love This camcorder is light years better than my old one, and so easy to use. Highly recommend! April 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by HC-V770 Camcorder I have only owned the camera for 5 days at this point. So far, it has taken very good pictures and videos. There are several resolutions that can be setup. The wind noise cancellation seems to work pretty good. I agree with other reviewer that it would be nice to have some kind of video editing software in the box. Another item I miss is the lack of "Time-Date Stamp" on the pictures and videos. Maybe that could be added in a software upgrade. April 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great image quality The Panasonic Video camera HC-V770K has an excellent hardware design and size. It is easy to hold with one hand and all command buttons are visible and well identified. The menu navigation and change of settings are intuitive if you are familiar with video cameras, if not an instruction manual explains each settings function with details. Image quality is full HD and the camera does a good job picking up light and sound. Videos are very clear with different light conditions and you can also set the auto light function to automatically turn the video camera light on whenever is needed. I would like to see in the future an upgrade video camera with a wider hand hold strap, faster menu layout navigation and an editing video software in the box. March 26, 2015
