Features

High Sensitivity Sensor

The 1/2.3-type (1/2.3-inch) Back Side Illumination Sensor has a large effective area and 34% larger pixels compared to a commonly used to a commonly used 1/5.8-type (1/5.8-inch) sensor, suppressing noise when shooting in dimly lit places, such as indoor scenes or nightscapes. It achieves stunningly beautiful images even down to the tiniest details.
High Sensitivity Sensor

20 x Optical Zoom with 4-Drive Lens System

By driving each of four lens groups separately, the drive ranges are reduced, resulting in high image quality, high-powered zooming, and a compact camera body. This keeps the body compact even with a 20x optical zoom.

Stable, Level Shooting and Less Blurring

The HYBRID O.I.S. + (Optical Image Stabiliser) uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. The Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images.

Clear Shots with Excellent Detail

Enjoy crisper, clearer videos thanks to the HDR Movie function. It combines two images taken with different exposures to suppress blown highlights and blocked shadows. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent gradation. A dedicated HDR button enables quick mode changes when necessary.

Use Your Smartphone as a Sub Camera

Using your smartphone with Wi-Fi operation as a sub camera, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. Since you are shooting with different cameras, you can use one at a distance, or at any angle you choose. This gives you a wide variety of Picture in Picture images.
