About the Product

Video recording supports high-bitrate XAVC S format, with options for 4K@30p and high-speed shooting at 1080p@120p (4x slow motion) and 800×480@240p (8x slow motion). The camera offers wide, medium, or narrow angle-of-view options, although 4K and high-speed modes are limited to wide view only.

The Live View Remote can be worn on your wrist for convenient control, but note that its Wi-Fi signal will not transmit underwater. The camera body itself is IPX4 splash-proof, and the included waterproof housing extends protection up to 60 m, providing dustproof, shockproof, and freeze-resistant capabilities.

Faqs:

Can I use the Live View Remote underwater?

No, the Live View Remote cannot be used underwater because the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals required for connection do not transmit well in water. You must control the camera directly or use the dedicated buttons.

Is the camera body waterproof?

The camera body itself is only IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand rain or splashes. For swimming or any underwater use, the included 60 m waterproof housing must be used.

What type of memory card is required for best quality?

For high-bit rate recording (like 100 Mbps in XAVC S 4K), a microSDHC/SDXC memory card rated UHS-I U3 or higher is strongly recommended. A compatible 32 GB card is included in the rental.

How long can I record continuously?

With the Wi-Fi off and using both included battery packs, the total shooting time is approximately 120 minutes to 135 minutes, depending on the shooting mode. Note that high internal temperatures may cause the camera to shut down before the battery is fully depleted.

Does the camera have an internal battery?

No, the camera does not have internal memory. It records to a microSD card or Memory Stick Micro (a 32 GB microSDHC card is included).
