The lens system controls each of the four lens groups separately. The reduced lens drive enables high image quality, powerful zooming, and a compact camera body. Together with the BSI sensor featuring an effective 6.03 million pixels and the extremely fast Crystal Engine, this ensures sharp, clear images. Clear shots with excellent detail in both bright and dark areas. By combining two images with different exposure times, HDR Movie prevents highlights from being blown out and shadows from being underexposed. This results in sharper, clearer videos. This is the world's first consumer camcorder equipped with the HDR Movie function. Even under challenging shooting conditions, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent gradation.

Since each of the four lens groups is controlled separately, the lens drive is reduced, allowing for high image quality, powerful zooming, and a compact camera body. This ensures a compact design even with a 20x optical zoom. HYBRID O.I.S.+ effectively suppresses blurriness at any focal length, from wide-angle shots to strong telephoto shots, thanks to five-axis correction. This allows you to capture sharp, clear images in 4K and other formats in almost all shooting situations without blurriness. It records Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 120 fps. The Intelligent Frame Creation of the Crystal Engine interpolates an equivalent of 240 fps for slow motion. Switch to slow motion by touching the icon on the LCD display during recording.
