Simple sophistication in action

Shoot movies of everything, from wide open scenes to quick, intimate glances with sophisticated features that make it simple to capture the feeling of the moment in detail.

Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode

This image stabilisation steadies footage being recorded when shooting conditions or the user's hands are shaky. 5-axis Intelligent Active mode compensates for vibration in five different directions so you can shoot stable high-quality movies even while jogging lightly.

Rapid AF response to capture decisive moments

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.

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.

High image quality

The high-bitrate XAVC S format is for videographers ready to take their work to the next level. Delivering high quality, XAVC S is built from the XAVC format used by professional filmmakers and broadcasters, while employing intelligent data compression to export consumer-friendly file sizes.

Time-lapse capture

You can capture 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.

5.1 ch surround sound microphone

Record clear sound that accurately captures the atmosphere of the scene and enjoy surround sound playback on your home theatre system. Level metres on the LCD panel provide visual monitoring of each channel’s levels.

One-touch remote and One-touch sharing

One-touch remote lets you use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder and remote control for a digital camera and One-touch sharing lets you transfer your photos and videos from your camera. No NFC? No problem. You can also pair the devices manually.

30 x optical zoom

With a wide-angle lens that is ideal for capturing grand landscapes, the camera also provides 30 x optical zoom and up to 60 x Clear Image Zoom for versatile image options.

Face detection

This automatically optimises focus, exposure and colour for appropriate results. Select someone to be prioritised simply by touching their face on the LCD display, which is useful for selecting a key person when shooting at a crowded event. Even if the subject leaves the frame, they will be remembered and prioritised upon re-entering the scene.

Lock-on autofocus (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 subject’s characteristics. Just touch the subject on LCD to lock on fast-moving targets precisely for shooting.

Smile Shutter

Because smiles are fleeting, this feature ensures they’re never lost. Automatically capture snapshots of smiling faces, even while recording video.

Motion Shot Video

Motion Shot Video plays a sequence of superimposed images that trace recorded action in split-second intervals for you to analyse in detail. During playback, you can adjust the interval or pause to capture and share a still image.
