Panasonic’s new auto framing solution incorporates advanced technologies such as auto tracking, image recognition and natural auto framing. It delivers exact user-defined camera framing for enhanced on-site efficiency and high-quality content.

Subject detection is handled by the camera's internal processor and framing commands are managed with the Media Production Suite. The feature will be usable on any PC that meets the Media Production Suite’s basic operating requirements.
