Features

Industry’s Smallest and Lightest 4K 60p Handheld Camcorder

While excelling in mobility and portability, the compact body considers the weight balance of the advanced functions when shooting.

Wide 25mm* and Optical 24x Zoom Lens

The lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom. i.ZOOM achieves 32x zoom with 4K resolution, and 48x zoom with FHD.

* 35mm camera equivalent.

4K High-Precision AF

Face Detection precisely captures subjects on-site free from out of focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also, by adding skin tone recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.

HYBRID O.I.S.

In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilisation, Electronic Image Stabilisation detects and corrects handshake in the 5-axis direction. The Ball O.I.S. System reduces friction in the drive section, especially
improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring.

Heat-Dispersing Design

A new ultrathin fan disperses heat in a camcorder with integrated lens and 4K 60p recording. It is the industry's smallest and lightest unit with low power consumption.

Versatile Recording Modes

Supports a high bit rate of 200 Mbps for 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MOV) codec, and 120/100fps* Super Slow-motion with 10-bit recording in FHD.

* 59.94Hz: 120fps, 50Hz: 100fps

4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording

Records a 4:2:2 10-bit color profile of up to LongGOP UHD 29.97p/25p (150 Mbps), or FHD 59.94p/50p (100 Mbps) with SD cards. Outputs 10-bit UHD 59.94p/50p images via HDMI.

Multi-Formats Supported

Versatile formats and bit rates are available. In addition to easy-to-edit MOV and MP4, 720p AVCHD 8-Mbps (PM) mode is included.

Full-HD Live Streaming

RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-compatible HD live streaming enables direct connection and distribution of relays for concerts, sports events, and news flashes to Facebook, YouTube, etc.

* The handle unit and mic are optional.

Wireless Control from a Tablet or Smartphone

A Wi-Fi module is built-in, so Wi-Fi connection of only the body is possible. Using a tablet or smartphone app HC ROP, wireless camera settings, and lens control are also possible.

Two Manual Rings

Two Manual Rings are provided, one for focusing and the other for zoom or iris operation. The use of the Manual Rings is improved by using different-sized rings in the front and rear, so they can be distinguished by the fingers.

Two Manual Rings

ND Filter

ND filters are built into the lens to suppress the amount of incident light. The filters can be selected (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, or OFF) to match the shooting environment. This is convenient, for example, when you want to shoot at a slow shutter speed in bright daylight.

3.5-inch LCD with Touch Operation

The approx. 2,760-k dot LCD monitor has an RGB pixel structure for high legibility in bright light, and an electrostatic touch panel for easy menu selection. Simultaneous LCD/EVF output constantly displays the LCD monitor image whether the EVF is being viewed or not.

Double SD Card Slot

This enables unlimited relay recording by simply changing SD cards, and also allows simultaneous recording and background recording for high recording reliability.

User Buttons

38 functions can be allocated to the User Buttons. There are a total of 12 User Buttons: five on the body, and seven on the LCD Touch Panel. The O.I.S. and AE LEVEL buttons can also be used as User Buttons.
