An Easy Way to Record Memories and Moments That Last

* 35mm camera equivalent. Available only with 4K 25p/24p and 2K 24p mode.

Accurately Capture the Moment
Get clear action shots with state-of-the-art high-precision AF and Hybrid O.I.S. The high-definition, 1,555k-dot LCD monitor has an electrostatic touch panel for easy menu selection.


Shoot in 4K and Edit Later
Edit videos shot in 4K with just the camera without a PC and save them in 2K. The footage can be edited after they are shot by zooming in, correcting camera shake, chasing the main subject, etc.


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.


4K Cropping to Create Better Footage in 2K
When zooming takes your subjects out of the frame, or causes hand-shake, 4K Cropping solves the problem. Cutouts with 2K quality from 4K images can be easily done using only the camera, entirely after shooting. - Post Auto Tracking - Post Close-up - Post Panning - Post Manual Tracking - Post Stabiliser - Post Zooming
