The power is in your hands

Shoot Full HD video the way you want to, with a power zoom and the creative flexibility of interchangeable lenses. Capture exquisite video with an HD CMOS sensor, delivering detail and depth of field, plus high-quality stereo or 5.1ch surround sound.

Movie magic in every shot
Give your HD videos a smooth cinematic look, even in low light, with a 16.1 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor that can shoot in 25, 50p or movie standard 24 frames per second. Swap lenses and create background defocus ('bokeh') effects - just like on a cinema camera.

Sounds better
Capture pristine dialogue and other sounds in stereo or 5.1 channel surround sound with the precision Quad Capsule Spatial Array Microphone. There’s also a handy audio level control plus an optional XLR adaptor to add professional sound and accessories.

Power-up your shooting
Coupled with an E-mount power zoom lens, you can zoom-in or pull back, smoothly and slowly, without jerks or jumps in your shot. Controlled from a lever on the main body, you can adjust the speed to suit the scene and zoom in up to 11x.

More lenses - more creativity
Serious photographers value the freedom of choosing the right lens to suit any shooting situation. Now you can explore the same creative limitless possibilities with your camcorder, picking the perfect lens to match the demands of any scene.

Revel in the detail
Fine-tune your vision with an OLED viewfinder that gives you higher than Full HD resolution, a 100% picture, plus precise manual control over exposure, iris, white balance and other settings. An assignable dial and quick-access buttons make it easy to adjust settings without interrupting your creativity.
