Features

Professional All-in-one 4K 60p Camcorder

With its 1.0-type (1.0-inch) sensor, the X20ED provides powerful support in event shootings and more with its optical performance that reliably captures the subject and the mobility that only a handheld camera with an integrated lens can offer.

Wide 24.5mm* and Optical 20x Zoom Lens

The lens covers the range from 24.5mm wide-angle to 490mm tele with a 20x zoom. i.ZOOM achieves 24x zoom with 4K resolution, and 32x zoom with FHD.

* 35mm camera equivalent.

Versatile Recording Mode

Supports a high bit rate of 200 Mbps for 59.94p/50p video recording with HEVC (LongGOP/10 bit 4:2:0/MOV) codec. The Super Slow-motion function supports 10-bit recording in FHD at 120/100fps* and 4K (UHD) VFR from 2 to 60fps** for over-cranked and under-cranked shots to allow for highly creative video expression.

* 59.94Hz: 120fps, 50Hz: 100fps
** Selectable frame rate depends on the recording format.

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.

5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+

In both UHD/FHD modes, 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.

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.

Full-HD Live Streaming

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

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 operations are also possible with live view image.*

* Please update the firmware to version 1.3 or later.

Functions and Designs that Support Professional Camera Work

Triple Manual Rings

The X20ED features triple manual rings on the lens barrel for Focus, Zoom and Iris control. These manual functions ensure professional operation and enable speedy and intuitive camera work.

ND Filter

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

2-Channel XLR Audio Input Terminals

+48V Phantom Power Supply/MIC/LINE Selectable XLR Audio Input with Manual Volume is equipped for each of 2 channels. Also supports 24-bit high-resolution Linear PCM audio recording with a professional mic.

3.5-inch High Brightness LCD Monitor

The approx. 2,760-k dot LCD monitor realizes excellent visibility even in bright sunlight with high brightness, 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.

Dual 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.

* The maximum amount of data that can be recorded over multiple SD cards is 96 GB. Recording will not stop even when the data size exceeds 96 GB.

User Buttons

45 functions can be allocated to the User Buttons. There are a total of 14 User Buttons: nine on the body, and five on the LCD Touch Panel. The O.I.S. and D.ZOOM buttons can also be used as User Buttons.

Tiltable Viewfinder with Eyecup

The 2,360K-dot-equivalent color OLED viewfinder can be tilted for added convenience. The large eyecup fits either eye comfortably.

High-Capacity Battery ― 7.28V 5900mA

A high-capacity battery is included, with an indicator that shows the remaining battery power at a glance. Ideal for professional uses, such as recording long events.

USB-LAN Adapter Compatible

A wired LAN connection enables stable live streaming even in environments with unstable Wi-Fi via a USB-LAN adapter (sold separately).
