4K High-Precision Autofocus
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.
Image Stabilization for Blur-Free Results
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.
