Owner's Manual

Pro-level connectivity
The camcorder is equipped with an SDI terminal
compliant with the 12G-SDI standard that provides
a greater bandwith and supports 4K video output at
59.94P or 50.00P frame rate. Meanwhile, the TIME
CODE terminal and G-LOCK/SYNC terminal offer
many synchronization options (A 92), allowing the
camcorder to be part of any multi-camera shooting
setup.
Infrared recording
Record in darkness using infrared recording
(A 116). With the built-in infrared light, you can
record nocturnal animals in their natural environment
or other such scenes.
Enhanced Focusing Options
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The camcorder features Dual Pixel CMOS AF
technology for improved autofocus functions
(A 74). In addition to continuous AF, AF-boosted
MF lets you focus manually most of the way and let
the camcorder finish focusing automatically. With
AF-boosted MF the camcorder does not perform
unreliable focus adjustments, resulting in a more
stable focusing operation than with continuous AF.
The camcorder can also focus automatically on
people's faces and track moving subjects while
keeping them in focus (A 79).
Dual Pixel Focus Guide (A 75)
The focus guide serves as a visual, intuitive guide
that you can use to check if the image is in focus
and the required adjustment, if it is not. This can be
very helpful to ensure you always get amazingly
sharp 4K video.
Other improved features
• Direct setting mode (A 52)
Change main camcorder functions while checking
the image on the screen using only the joystick.
• Assistance functions
You can use assistance functions such as peaking
and magnification (A 76), onscreen markers
(A 85), zebra patterns (A 86), B&W image
(A 30) and a waveform monitor (A 105) on the
screen and viewfinder. You can also display them
on an external monitor connected to the SDI
terminal or HDMI OUT terminal

Additionally, when using a logarithmic gamma
curve, you can also apply a LUT (A 147) for
easier monitoring.
