Features

4K 60p Camcorder Built for On-the-Go Creators

While excelling in mobility and portability, the included high-capacity battery provides 6 hours and 10 minutes of shooting (60 Hz), and the compact body considers the weight balance of the advanced functions when shooting.

Remarkable Optical Performance for Precise 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 mode, and 48x zoom with FHD mode.

* 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 colour recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.

HYBRID O.I.S.

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.

Versatile Recording Mode

Supports a high bit rate of 100 Mbps for 4K 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MP4) codec, and 120/100fps* Super Slow-motion with 10-bit recording in FHD.

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

Heat-Dispersing Design

The heat dispersion structure equipped with an ultrathin fan enables a compact, lightweight body to be combined with ultra high definition 4K 60p recording.

Environmental Care and Initiatives

Recycled materials are used for the packaging boxes and molded pulp, and white ink is used for recyclability. It is also compatible with the versatile USB-PD standard to reduce environmental impact.

Functions and Designs that Support Professional Camera Work

1 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.

3 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.

* If the relay recording time reaches 10 hours, shooting will temporarily stop, and then automatically restart a few seconds later.
** Only MP4 FHD format is supported.

3 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.

* If the relay recording time reaches 10 hours, shooting will temporarily stop, and then automatically restart a few seconds later.
** Only MP4 FHD format is supported.
