Specs
Relive great moments
Picture brilliant action. Pursue with passion. Keep it fresh forever. With a 4K Handycam at hand, the most moving memories really come alive.
advanced features for great movies
The performance packed into the top-class 4K Handycam is peerless. Balanced Optical SteadyShot and Fast Intelligent AF achieve exactly the images you aim for. A new microphone structure captures ambiance that's all-surrounding. You can even play with time in motion or gain control of pro-style/manual functions. The possibilities and pleasures are endless.
The keys to extraordinary image quality
Advanced lens and image sensor capabilities enhance high-precision depiction, sensitivity and power.
Balanced Optical SteadyShot
Superior image stabilization lets you shoot steadily throughout the zoom range even as you walk.
Fast Intelligent Autofocus (AF)
Extra-efficient lens drive and AF range prediction can shift focus from far to near subjects quickly.
High-quality sound recording
New mic structure captures sound from five directions with approximately 40% less noise for realistic ambience.
Have fun during and after shooting
Get creative with High Speed REC and Time-lapse Capture to make an impressive movie.
More professional functions
Shoot like a pro with manual setting functions, EVF, plus Time Code and User Bit data recording.
The brilliant true-to-life quality of 4K
A newly developed lens and image sensor enhance the spectacular definition of 4K resolution, with particular sensitivity for capturing high-quality movies in low light.
New ZEISS 20x zoom 4K-compatible lens
ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens with 26.8 mm widest angle allows more of a subject to fit in frame.
New Exmor R CMOS sensor for 4K
Bigger pixel size improves sensitivity for shooting movies with less noise, even in darkness.
The wonder of high-bitrate 4K and HD
High-bitrate recording in XAVC S format clearly captures even changing scenes with a lot of motion.
See 4K movies in HD on non-4K devices
Super-sampled Full HD Playback on non-4K TV or device
4K movies automatically down-convert to Full HD to play on an HD TV.
Trimming Playback trims movie frame on TV at a touch
Trace a finger on the LCD to trim frame of 4K movie playing on TV in Full HD.
Extra-steady shooting on the move
The short movie below shows the camera shake compensation effects of Balanced Optical SteadyShot (right) and optical image stabilization (left), respectively.
Less image shake within a broad zoom range
For extra-stable movie shooting from wide to telephoto. In HD shooting mode, 5-axis Intelligent Active mode further compensates for camera shake, even when shooting while running.
Focus with stunning speed
Fast Intelligent AF autofocuses not only with exceptional speed, but with uncanny precision as well.
4K image quality
Shoot 4K 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 incredible qualities that bring images to vibrant life.
New image sensor exclusively for 4K
A newly developed image sensor, with pixels of approximately 1.6 times bigger size, offers superior sensitivity for capturing beautiful high-quality images with less noise under dark as well as bright shooting conditions.
New ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens for 4K
This new lens helps to depict remarkable details of high-quality 4K images throughout its wide-angle-to-telephoto range. The use of an AA (advanced 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 color. Multilayer ZEISS T Coating further enhances image quality by reducing unwanted reflection, such as ghost and flare.
Up to 26.8 mm wide-angle lens
Whether you're shooting movies or still images, the class-leading wide-angle lens can help you capture more of landscapes and indoor scenes, when you don't have enough room to step back. Even without a wide conversion lens, the camcorder shoots as wide as 26.8 mm (16:9 aspect ratio) in movie mode.
Rapid AF response to capture decisive moments
Fast Intelligent AF achieves very speedy, accurate contrast-detection autofocus by minimizing lens motion, predicting the AF range and accelerating lens drive, thereby improving response so you can capture more fleeting moments.
Extensive zoom shooting capabilities
20x optical zoom lens and Clear Image Zoom of 30x/40x (for 4K/HD) allow you to shoot far away subjects and capture memorable moments.
Realistic recording of voices, music and other sound
Its new structural design enables the microphone to gather clearer sound from five directions with approx. 40% less noise and twice as effective 2ch stereo (for XAVC S shooting) and three times as effective 5.1ch surround (for AVCHD shooting) sound performance. This makes it possible to faithfully reproduce audio with clearly defined separation.
High Speed REC in Full HD for high-quality slow motion
Shoot in Full HD at 120/100 fps (NTSC/PAL), edit the footage after shooting and the resulting slow-motion images of the movie will look startlingly smooth and sharp in playback. This is excellent for reviewing, in greater slow-motion detail, sports and everyday action that can occur too quickly in real time for you to see clearly.
4K Time-lapse Capture
You can capture 4K size still images continuously over an extensive period 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.
Super-sampled Full HD playback
Enhance your viewing experience even without a 4K television. Using super-sampling, the camera automatically down-converts 4K footage to exceptionally detailed Full HD.
Trimming Playback
You can select a specific portion of the picture and play it back in Full HD, thanks to 4K high resolution. Also, you can change trimming size with the zoom lever or on-screen display icon.
Advanced shooting features
Enjoy total customization with ergonomic manual controls. Use the intuitive multi-purpose manual ring to adjust zoom, focus, exposure, IRIS, shutter speed, AE shift or white balance shift mode after using the manual button to select the mode. The electronic viewfinder offers accurate image preview.
Time Code / User Bit
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 advanced 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.
Exceptional image quality
By employing XAVC S format, which was developed from the XAVC format for professional use, 4K 100 Mbps and Full HD 50 Mbps high-bitrate recording create incredibly high-quality images. Yet, XAVC S data is compressed so that it is more manageable for general consumers.
Superb night shooting
This feature uses infrared light to take images even in complete darkness. By using NIGHTSHOT, parents can easily capture children's cute sleeping faces.
Lock-on AF
Enhances the tracking of moving subjects by using the optimal AF point at all times and adjusting the target frame size to match your subjec
