Capture 4K video and pro-grade sound


Go beyond Full HD with 4K: Meet the video camera that offers 4K recording. You’ll be able to shoot video that displays over 8 million pixels (3840x2160) – four times the resolution of Full HD – and capture moments in unrivalled, realistic detail that burst with vibrant colours..

XAVC S recording format: Derived from a professional-quality recording format, XAVC S compresses both the video and audio (using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and PCM respectively) of your movies before saving as an MP4 file. XAVC S also lets you record images at 50Mbps, enhancing the level of detail associated with Full HD content while reducing the effects of compression noise..

Easy playback with HDMI: Connect the Handycam to a 4K monitor or TV using the in-pack 4K ready HDMI cable, and get ready to watch your movies in breathtakingly realistic detail. No 4K monitor? No problem. Simply connect the Handycam, change the HDMI output settings to 1920x1080 and play your movies on your HD TV..

XQD media cards: The twin XQD media card slots – compatible with S and N-Series XQD cards – deliver smooth, high-speed reading and writing of 4K video. With the option to switch to relay recording*, you’ll be able to shoot longer without worrying about recording stopping when one memory card fills up. (*Video and sound may be cut temporarily in the relay recording process.).

XLR sound terminals: Outstanding video deserves outstanding sound. In addition to the high quality internal microphone, two external XLR terminals let you connect high-performance pro microphones to the camera..

Creative control with ASSIGN buttons: The seven on-camera ASSIGN buttons have been designed for quick, easy navigation between camera settings. By allotting specific functions – including Marker, Zebra, Peaking, Focus Magnifier, Auto Exposure Level, SteadyShot, Colour Bars, Rec Lamp [F], Rec Lamp [R], and Thumbnail – to an ASSIGN button, you can find a set-up that works best for you..
