Brilliant Image Quality

Enjoy excellent low-light performance with a large 1/2.5 inch sensor and bright F1.8 lens. The remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading that LEICA lenses are renowned for. Capture stunningly beautiful memories even in dimly lit locations.

Wide 25mm and Optical 24x Zoom Lens

The New lens covers the range from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm tele with a 24x zoom achieved by a 4-Drive Lens System. The stunning wide-angle setting not only fits large groups of people and background images into narrow locations, but is also convenient for taking selfies with a rotatable LCD.

New Hybrid O.I.S.

The camcorder uses five-axis correction to thoroughly suppress blurring all the way from wide-angle to powerful zoom shots. Adaptive O.I.S. automatically optimizes the O.I.S. effectiveness by adjusting the O.I.S. mechanical control to various shooting positions, conditions, and user characteristics. The Ball O.I.S. reduces wear on the drive section, and greatly improves correction for small-amplitude hand-shake. With the level shot function, you can automatically detect and correct the tilting of captured images.

Slow Motion Video

Smooth slow motion video makes it possible to portray the emotional sensation of everyday scenes. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily capture natural videos with excellent, realistic gradation.

Active Contrast

Automatically equalizes the gradation in response to the brightness distribution within the image. Also improves contrast in the low brightness areas of dark and back-lit scenes, and avoids blocked shadows.
