Ideally Designed for Video Shooting
Whether taking zoom shots or wide-angle shooting, you can capture footage without the need to change lenses by simply turning the power on. The ergonomically designed grip fits snugly in the hand, allowing comfortable shooting for long periods without tiring yourself out, even with one hand.
5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. +
Uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. Ball O.I.S. system reduces wear on the drive section and greatly improves correction for small-amplitude hand-shake
4K Cropping to Create Better Footage in 2K
When zooming takes your subjects out of the frame, or causes hand-shake, 4K Cropping solves the problem. Cutouts with 2K quality from 4K images can be easily done using only the camera, entirely after shooting.
