The Twin Camera Doubles Your Fun

This model includes a rotatable sub camera that lets you take shots from two angles at once. For example, you can capture the family and a selfie, or both tele and wide-angle shots. A Backup function records a picture in picture image and a main camera image without a sub window for backup. The sub camera image is recorded into any one of various sub windows, and its display position can be changed by touch operation.

Intelligent 90x Zoom / Optical 50x Zoom

Equipped with Intelligent 90x Zoom/Optical 50x Zoom. This model lets you easily shoot distant subjects that are too far away to capture clearly with conventional zoom functions.

Level Shot Function

The Level Shot function automatically detects and corrects the tilting of captured images. The setting can be adjusted to one of three levels (OFF, Normal, Strong) depending on the shooting conditions.

5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. +

HYBRID O.I.S. + uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. This lets you capture crisp, clear images without blurring, in almost every shooting situation.

BSI Sensor

The BSI Sensor records bright, high-quality, low-noise images in both bright and dim lighting situations. It allows beautiful images to be recorded under a variety of situations, including indoor scenes and nightscapes.

28mm Wide-Angle*

The 28mm wide-angle* fits more people and more of the background into the frame. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the mic.
* 35mm camera equivalent

10.0-megapixel Still　 Picture Recording

Still Picture Recording mode lets you shoot with a maximum resolution of 10 megapixels.*
* For images recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Twin Camera Function

The twin camera models let you take two shots at the same time. They feature a sub camera on the edge of their LCD monitor that provides 270° panning and ±20° tilting operation and enables　 shooting in two angles simultaneously. They also have a Narration mode, which emphasizes the camera user's voice.

Wireless Twin Camera

Using your smartphone with Wi-Fi operation as a sub camera, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. Since you are shooting with different cameras, you can use one at a distance, or at any angle you choose. This gives you a wide variety of Picture in Picture images.

Creative Control

Filter effects – Miniature Effect, 8mm Movie, Silent Movie and Time Lapse Recording – make it possible to shoot impressive video recordings that are matched to the shooting situation.

iA (intelligent Auto) /iA Plus Mode

This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that deliver optimal results. In addition, the iA Plus Mode enables you to adjust exposure compensation and white balance by just pressing the button on the LCD.

Wi-Fi Functions

One-touch Connection
Without bothersome initial settings, NFC lets you connect a smartphone or tablet to the camcorder in one touch. QR codes are also provided for use by those who don’t have an NFC phone.
Real Time Broadcasting*
You can deliver important events, like a wedding, in Full-HD quality using the USTREAM video service to share the images with friends all over the world in real-time.
Remote Shooting /
Remote View

Videos and photos inside the camera

Baby Monitor*

You can check on the baby with a smartphone or tablet in another room. The Push Notification function alerts the smartphone or tablet if a voice sensor detects the baby waking up and crying.
