It is capable of streaming Full HD resolution video in both unicast and multicast formats. You can connect to the HC ROP application on a tablet or smartphone for remote control and live image preview.
Interface and Connectivity
An HDMI output port provides UHD 4K video to a selected source. You can record directly to two SD cards at the same time in MOV/MP4 formats. An integrated stereo microphone captures audio at 48 kHz 16-bit in AVCHD/MP4 formats and 48 kHz 24-bit in MOV formats. You can connect your own microphone using the 3.5mm stereo mini jack or the 3-pin XLR input, which supports phantom power, and monitor your overall audio through the headphone jack. Additionally, there is an audio output available for a speaker. The camera can be controlled remotely via a 2.5mm mini jack.
Hybird OIS, Face Detection Autofocus
Hybrid 5-axis OIS (optical image stabilization) guarantees that your footage stays stable by utilizing both optical and electronic stabilization methods. Additionally, a Ball OIS system enhances the reduction of small-amplitude blurring. The high-precision autofocus, equipped with face detection technology, effectively locks onto subjects for accurate focusing while ensuring proper exposure. You can utilize the articulating 3.5" LCD touchscreen to initiate precise tracking, along with the OLED EVF viewfinder for monitoring images while handheld.
ND Filters
The camera features built-in selectable clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 ND mechanical filters for quick adjustments during changing lighting conditions.
Long Battery Life
A 5900mAh rechargeable battery ensures that the camera operates continuously for as long as 6 hours and 10 minutes while shooting in UHD 4K. Additionally, the USB-C input can be utilized to power the camera through DC sources.
