Advanced Professional Features and
Flexibility
Wi-Fi network functions
When you use the Wi-Fi functions (A 120), you can
remotely record and play back using a connected
Wi-Fi device, such as your smartphone or tablet.
You can also use the media server function to view
photos on your camcorder’s SD card.
Time code and user bit output
The camcorder generates a time code and adds it
to your recordings. In addition, it can output that
time code and user bit from the HDMI OUT terminal
(A 77). This is useful for situations such as
referencing or shooting in a multi-camera setup.
Customization
The camcorder features 3 assignable buttons to
which you can assign often-used functions (A 99).
The main camera function menu can also be
customized so that you can quickly access and
adjust functions you find necessary (A 98).
Other Functions
• Assistance functions
Peaking and magnification (A 71) can be helpful
when you use manual focus, onscreen markers
(A 76) can be very useful to help you frame your
video, and zebra patterns (A 76) can give you a
reference point to avoid overexposures.
•ND filter
When activated, the built-in ND filter reduces the
amount of light by 3 stops, allowing you to better
capture your subject in the desired depth of field
(A 136).
•Push AF
While the camcorder is in manual focus mode,
you can use Push AF to switch the camcorder
temporarily to autofocus mode (A 73).
• HD playback from 4K video
When you play back a 4K clip, you can play back
an HD-sized area of your choosing (A 108).
• Image stabilization (IS)
In addition to the standard IS function, you can
use Dynamic IS, which compensates for
camcorder shake while walking and shooting, or
Powered IS, which is most effective when you are
stationary and zoom in on subjects far away
(A 75).
• Support for geotagging
You can use the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver to
add GPS information to your recordings (A 88).
