Look before you shoot
The high-resolution LCD monitor on the camera back can be tilted up to 180 degrees, so you can comfortably frame a selfie prior to shooting it, or shoot at a low position.

An improved spatial object detection algorithm realises a more optimal and accurate lens drive to make AF even faster, for capturing more fleeting moments with ease.
Set the Right Mode in Motion
Whether you want to share action quickly or save it at a higher resolution for editing, it's simple to make format, mode, exposure and other settings, then start to record.
- Movies in versatile formats: Record in XAVC S or AVCHD high-resolution movie format and as MP4 file.
