2K Stunning Image Quality

Enjoy the high functionality unique to a camcorder, and preserve precious memories and once-in-a-lifetime records of your child’s growth even more vividly. The lens covers the range from 28.9mm* wide-angle to 693.7mm tele with a 24x zoom achieved by the 4-Drive Lens System. The large 1/2.5-type (1/2.5-inch) sensor and bright F1.8 lens offer exceptional low-light performance.

* 35mm camera equivalent. 50p/50i/25p: 28.9 – 693.7 mm, 24p: 25 – 600 mm

Ideally Designed for Video Shooting
Whether taking zoom shots or wide-angle shooting, you can capture footage without the need to change lenses by simply turning the power on. The ergonomically designed grip fits snugly in the hand, allowing comfortable shooting for long periods of time without tiring yourself out, even with one hand.

5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. +
Uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. Ball O.I.S. system reduces wear on the drive section, and greatly improves correction for small-amplitude hand-shake.

Wind Shield Zoom Microphone
A special damping material is provided in the space between the mic and the mic net to suppress wind noise for clear recording always.

USB Type-C Terminal
The USB-C port enables power supply and charging with a mobile battery when the power is turned off, as well as with the included AC adapter.

Handy Functions Give You Greater Shooting Enjoyment

Active Contrast
Automatically equalizes the gradation in response to the brightness distribution within the image. Also improves contrast in the low brightness areas of dark and back-lit scenes, and avoids blocked shadows.

High-Precision AF
Focusing is achieved with high speed and high precision, so the images of active, running children are crisp and clear.

Microphone Terminal
For special events and presentations, attach an external microphone to record in high quality sound.

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.
