High-sensitivity 1/2.5-type MOS sensor

Handles large 4K data at 60fps/50fps with high-speed readout, minimizing rolling shutter distortion when capturing moving subjects.

Wide-angle 25mm lens with 24x optical zoom

4-drive lens system supports 24x optical zoom, ranging from a wide-angle 25mm (35mm film equivalent) to a telephoto 600mm. i.ZOOM technology enabling up to 32x zoom in 4K and 48x in Full HD provides exceptional flexibility for shooting even in confined spaces.

4K High-precision Autofocus

Optimized for dynamic shooting conditions on location, this autofocus system prioritizes speed and tracking accuracy. The Micro-drive Focus unit ensures precise lens control for fast, smooth focusing. Sharp focus is reliably maintained even when subjects move from background to foreground..

Face Detection and Tracking AE/AF

Advanced Face Detection AE/AF automatically identifies and tracks human faces. Also, specific colours can be selected on the 3.5-inch touch LCD to enable Tracking AE/AF to follow people and other moving objects with increased accuracy.

5-axis Hybrid Stabilization

Five-axis Hybrid Stabilization corrects for camera shake in five axes: vertical, horizontal, and rotational. Using a gyro sensor that detects motion at 4,000 times per second, the stabilization engine delivers fast corrections. Combining optical and electronic stabilization ensures stable video when zooming in at high magnification and when walking or shooting in low light.

Ball O.I.S

A ball-bearing mechanism reduces friction when the lens system drive unit operates. The lens moves smoothly when zooming and delicately compensates for shake caused by small vibrations.

Built-in ND Filter

The built-in ND filter (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, CLEAR) adjusts incoming light levels to suit the shooting environment. The filter can be used to prevent resolution loss caused by excessive aperture reduction (diffraction) and supports a wide aperture for sharp images with a shallow depth of field.

Efficient Heat Dissipation

The image sensor typically heats up significantly as it collects external light through the lens, and its temperature rises further during high-speed 4K/60p signal processing, so an advanced, highly efficient heat dissipation design is employed to maintain stable performance under such conditions.

Venus Engine

The Venus Engine features a new image processing system capable of rapidly handling large 4K/60p datasets for exceptional image quality. It also offers advanced image correction features to enhance creative video production. Internal recording supports resolutions up to 4K 29.97p and Full HD 59.94p in 4:2:2 10-bit.

HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit Recording

Using the highly efficient new HEVC codec, the camcorder supports high-bitrate recording, including: 200 Mbps LongGOP (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MOV), 150 Mbps LongGOP (29.97p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MOV), 100 Mbps LongGOP (59.94p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MOV/MP4), and 72 Mbps LongGOP (29.97p, 4:2:0 10-bit, MP4).
