High Resolution via Triplex Offset

2.5k x 1.4k pixels are generated with the Triplex Offset, and a high resolution of more than 900 horizontal lines and 1000 diagonal lines is achieved using the proprietary front processing.

Spot Meter Function

The brightest and darkest positions on the screen are automatically detected and displayed together with the dynamic range. As this is a pre-gamma value, it allows you to understand the lighting ratio and prevents overexposure or underexposure in shooting scenes where lighting is controlled.

Recording in QuickTime File Format

You can edit the recorded clips directly with Final Cut Pro.

Recording in MP4 File Format

This camera supports recording in the MP4 file format for Windows NLE systems, which can be utilized in a wide range of non-linear editing environments.

Recording on SDHC Memory Card (Class 6/10)

The absence of mechanisms with the use of SDHC (Class 6/10) as recording media brings about increased operation reliability. In addition, the improved compatibility with computers enables high-speed data transfer to NLE as well as reduction of operating costs.

High Resolution Viewfinder

With a high resolution of 852 x 480 in 0.425 inches, the viewfinder is now more robust and enables more accurate focusing.
