Notes on using the camera
Functions built into this camera
• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard
recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera
records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a
smoother, more realistic image.
• This camera is compatible with 4K 30p/4K 25p/4K 24p recording. Movies can be
recorded in a higher resolution than HD format.
On use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as
hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
