90x Intelligent / 50x Optical Zoom

More dynamic and emotional memories
Easily capture distant objects that are too far away to shoot with conventional zoom functions – thanks to 90x Intelligent Zoom. You can also use the 50x Optical Zoom to zoom in on your subject to add more emotion and dynamics to your homemade footage.

Level Footage at All Times

So you can film carefree, the Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of images. The setting can be adjusted to one of three levels – OFF, Normal or Strong – for the shooting condition.

Clear, Blurless Results

HYBRID O.I.S.+ uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring caused by unwanted shake – whether you are shooting with a wide angle or at high zoom. This lets you capture crisp, clear images in virtually every shooting situation.

28mm Wide-Angle

Get group shots with ease
Fit more people and more of the background into the frame – the 28mm Wide-Angle function (35mm camera equivalent) makes it possible. This is especially handy when you want to take a group shot in a small room. It fits objects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the camcorder's built-in microphone.
* 35mm camera equivalent.

Record beautiful scenes and objects under a variety of conditions and situations including indoor scenes and nightscapes plus low noise distortion.

Creative Control
