Faqs:

What is the benefit of the included viewfinder?

The viewfinder allows you to accurately compose and confirm your shots, even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight where glare can make the LCD screen difficult to see. This is essential for ensuring your image is perfectly framed and focused.

Does this camera support filming in total darkness?

Yes, this camera includes a dedicated Night Shot function with a built-in light, allowing you to capture video even in 0 lux (complete darkness) environments, perfect for nocturnal sightseeing or observing wildlife.

Can I connect external accessories like a microphone to this camera?

Yes, the camera is equipped with a Multi-interface shoe terminal, which allows you to attach various external accessories, including microphones or lights, directly to the camera without needing extra cables or adapters.

What must I remember to do if I use a tripod with this camera?

When using a tripod for stable shooting, you must remember to set the camera’s image stabilization function to “Off.” This prevents the camera’s internal stabilization system from trying to correct movements that aren’t there, which can cause subtle jerks in your footage.

What kind of memory card do I need if the built-in 64GB is not enough?

If the 64GB internal memory is insufficient, you will need to use a compatible SDXC memory card (Class 10 or higher) for XAVC S HD recording, or a SDXC card rated UHS-I U3 or higher is recommended for the highest quality 4K (100Mbps) recording.
