• 15MP 1" MOS Sensor, 5-Axis Hybrid OIS+
• 20x Optical Zoom, 4K 24x/HD 32x i.Zoom
• Built-In Wi-Fi, 120 fps Slow Motion
• Handle with 2 x XLR Audio Inputs
• Built-In ND Filters, Wired Remote Option
• Up to 10-Bit UHD 4K60 4:2:0 & 4K30 4:2:2
• Records MP4, MOV, AVCHD to Dual SD Slots
• Wide 25.4mm Lens, 3.5" LCD Display
• High-Speed AF with Face Detection
• A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi module is built-in, so there is no need to purchase a separate wireless LAN module. Wi-Fi connection is possible using only the main unit. A tablet/smartphone with the HC ROP (available for free on Apple's App Store or Google Play) can be used for wireless remote control. The app can be used to control up to eight cameras.
• The 4-Drive Lens System simultaneously and independently drives 4 lens groups (group 2, iris, group 3, group 4). The lens size and drive range for each of the 4 groups can be efficiently suppressed to optimize image quality and zoom power, maintaining a compact body.
• In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), Electronic Image Stabilization operates to detect and correct handshakes in the 5-axis direction, including rotational blurring. This provides powerful correction in unstable situations, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting.
• HDMI outputs up to 3840 x 2160 UHD 4K 4:2:2 10-bit, high image quality output, compatible with various applications.
• By moving the Micro Drive Focus Unit minutely and quickly, highly precise AF performance is also achieved when shooting in 4K or shooting with a shallow depth of field.
• Provided with Face Detection to precisely capture subjects onsite free from out-of-focus problems and insufficient exposure. Also, by adding colour recognition, tracking subjects is improved, without interruption, when the face moves to either side.
• 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, or Clear) to match the shooting environment. This is convenient, for example, when you want to shoot at a slow shutter speed in bright daylight. Also, when opening the aperture, you can attain high resolution and a shallow depth of field.
• The optical 20x zoom lens features an optical zoom of 20x, a 24x maximum digital i.Zoom range in UHD 4K, and a maximum 32x digital i.Zoom in 1080p. The lens can quickly cover the entire zoom range, so you won't miss your shots.
• HD mode achieves a super slow-motion effect with a maximum of 120 fps or 100 fps. It supports high-quality 10-bit recording in FHD mode. The image area is not cropped even at high frame rates.
• Two XLR inputs with switchable 48V phantom power supply/MIC/LINE. In MOV mode, 24-bit linear PCM recording delivers high-resolution sound quality. The volume control dial enables 2-channel control, and it also features an OSD level meter and a 3.5mm stereo headphone output.
• Provided with professional camera image adjustmentfunctions including the 16-axis independent colour correction function similar to the one in a broadcast video camera as well as detail, skin detail, chroma level, chroma phase, master pedestal, gamma and knee setting functions.
• The IR Cut Filter can be turned ON/OFF (allocated on the User button). When the filter is turned OFF, commercially available IR lights can be used for shooting in dark places.
• Double SD card slots are provided to enable unlimited relay recording by simply changing SD cards, and allow the use of various recording systems to ensure high recording reliability.
