From the manufacturer

The high true-to-life quality of 4 K

Shoot 4 K footage that contains about four times more detail than Full HD (3840 x 2160 pixels vs. 1920 x 1080) footage and capture more of the high qualities that bring images to vibrant life.

Product features

The keys to high image quality

These lens helps to depict remarkable details of high-quality 4 K images throughout its wide-angle-to-telephoto range. The use of an AA (aspherical) lens not only keeps depiction faithful — it also keeps the lens unit compact. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens helps to ensure accurate reproduction of colour. Multilayer ZEISS T Coating further enhances image quality by reducing unwanted reflection, such as ghost and flare.

Balanced optical steadyshot (not supported in 4K)

Image stabilisation suppresses camera shake to stabilise a movie as it is being shot within the wide-angle-to-telephoto zoom range. In HD shooting mode, it further reduces effects of camera shake even under unstable conditions with 5-axis Intelligent Active mode compensating for vibration in five different directions, so you can shoot stable high-quality movies even while running.

Fast Intelligent Autofocus (AF)

Fast Intelligent AF achieves very speedy, accurate contrast-detection autofocus by minimising lens motion, predicting the AF range and accelerating lens drive, thereby improving response so you can capture more fleeting moments.

High-quality sound recording

Its structural design enables the microphone to gather, from five directions, clear sound with approximately 40 per cent 15 less noise and twice as effective15 2 ch stereo (for XAVC S shooting) and three times as effective15 5.1 ch surround (for AVCHD shooting) sound performance. This makes it possible to faithfully reproduce audio with clearly defined separation.

4 K Time-lapse capture

You can capture 4 K size still images continuously over an extensive duration of time at a selected constant interval from each shot to the next, edit the entire sequence of still images in post-production and enjoy playback of that series of images as a time-lapse movie.

More professional-style functions

Time Code and User Bit can be added to movies as data elements. Time Code function records hours/minutes/ seconds/frames on image data for precise video editing. User Bit function records information such as date/time/scene number, etc in eight-digit arbitrary numbers and is useful for editing movies using two or more cameras.
