Available only with 24p mode.

New Hybrid O.I.S.

5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. +

Uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide angle to powerful zoom shots.

Adaptive O.I.S.

Automatically optimizes the O.I.S. effectiveness by adjusting the O.I.S. mechanical control to various shooting positions, conditions and user characteristics.

Ball O.I.S.

Reduces wear on the drive section and greatly improves correction for small-amplitude hand-shake.

Level Shot Function

Automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images.

Slow Motion Video

Smooth slow motion video makes it possible to portray the emotional sensation of everyday scenes.

Wireless Multi Camera

Using Wi-Fi you can double the shooting fun by linking as many as three smartphones and simultaneously recording up to two of them as sub-windows.

HDR Movie

Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent, realistic gradation.

Active Contrast

Automatically equalizes the gradation in response to the brightness distribution within the image. It also improves contrast in the low brightness areas of dark and back-lit scenes, and avoids blocked shadows.
