weight as handheld models.
F11 Sensitivity, 1/3-inch Full HD 3CMOS
Sensors
This camera recorder is equipped with three 1/3-
inch 2.07M pixels full HD CMOS sensors.
It delivers high image quality with a high color
resolution through the processing of individual R,
G, B color signals. 12-bit signal processing and the
new 2D DNR removes dark current and optical shot
noise without losing S/N and high resolution,
thereby achieving high F11 sensitivity.

It ensures high magnification of 29 mm at wide
ends, and provides high sensitivity across all
regions with F1.6-3.0.

autofocus (AF) and Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS)
function, allowing for stable focusing when used as
a shoulder-carry camera recorder.
In addition to the central area, it also comes with a
face-detection autofocus feature, and supports
switching to manual focusing.
The zoom ring with zoom ring pin enables zooming
from the wide end to the tele end in 90 degrees.
Focus and iris control are also possible using
separate rings.
