Thanks to the built-in 5-axis Image Stabilisation, your shots will remain smooth and free from bumps and grinds, even as you utilise the portability of the unit and walk while you film.
To capture the resolution required for 4K 30p video, the camera uses a 1/2.3-inch CMOS which works with the DIGIC DV 6 image processor to create a better-looking image. 4K sensor data is processed using an oversampling HD processing function to produce high-definition results that are sharper than regular Full HD footage. There’s even a built-in infrared mode allows the capture of images even in extremely dark lighting.
