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

HYBRID O.I.S.

In addition to Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization 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

Functions and Designs that Support Professional Camera Work

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.

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, CLEAR) to match the shooting environment. This is handy for shooting at a slow shutter speed in bright daylight.

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.

3.5-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.

User Buttons

45 functions can be allocated to the User Buttons. There are a total of 13 User Buttons: six on the body, and seven on the LCD Touch Panel. The FACE DET. and AE LEVEL buttons can also be used as User Buttons.

USB PD (USB Type-C)

The USB-C port enables power supply and charging with a mobile battery when the power is turned off.

Wired Remote

Equipped with a REMOTE terminal (2.5-mm super mini jack) for remote operation of focus, zoom, REC start/stop, etc.

* A wired remote controller (commercially available) is required.
