A variety of manual functions to enjoy
Multi Manual Ring
Turn this ring to adjust settings for the focus, aperture, shutter speed, and zoom. Because you use buttons and the ring rather than menu operations to adjust settings, you can respond quickly and easily when a shooting opportunity arises.
Optimum colour saturation gain for each scene
New Intelligent LCD Monitor
We have added saturation gain control to our original AI technology. This new control increases luminance and contrast to make whites look whiter and blacks look blacker. Saturation gain can be boosted from
100% all the way to 200% to attain the desired effect. Since it affects only the RGB chroma saturation signals, the LCD colours remain vivid even when the colour gain is boosted, and there's no colour phase change.
