* Key Features:-
* Heavy-duty construction for underwater shooting
* 1/2.3” Sensor with 20 MP for High-quality, high-resolution images
* Five-times optical zoom lens
* 4K-resolution movie recording for videos
* Extensive shooting and editing functions
* Advanced GPS functions and built-in digital compass
* Webcam function for live-streaming
* The camera is waterproof (IPX8, equivalent to JIS protection grade 8), enabling 2 hours of continuous underwater shooting at a depth of 14 m. The camera is also waterproof from a depth of 1.6 m. In addition, it has drop impact resistance from 1.6m*1, dust resistance equivalent to IP6X (JIS protection grade 6), a cold-resistant structure that allows operation even at minus 10°C, and a load-resistant structure*2 that can withstand a weight of up to 100kgf (kilograms) to withstand use in the harshest outdoor environments. The model is designed to be tough enough to withstand use in the harshest outdoor environments.
* Six LED auxiliary lights are placed around the lens for close-up shooting. These lights provide uniform and bright illumination when using the “Digital Microscope” mode, which allows you to enlarge a subject to observe and photograph the microscopic world that is invisible to the naked eye on the LCD monitor. The “Macro Illumination Function” allows you to adjust the LED auxiliary light in five brightness levels, allowing you to take pictures with lighting that matches your subject and your photographic intentions.
* The camera is equipped with a 2.7-inch, approximately 230,000-dot, 16:9 wide LCD monitor. The monitor is coated with AR (Anti-Reflection) coating, which suppresses reflections and reduces glare from outside light, making it bright and easy to see, even outdoors under strong sunlight. The “Outdoor Monitor” function allows the brightness to be easily adjusted to the most comfortable level according to the operating environment for even better visibility.
* Three types of Shake Reduction functions according to shooting conditions
* (1) Electronic image stabilization The camera employs an electronic image stabilization function that effectively corrects shaky images during still image shooting.
* (2) High-sensitivity Shake Reduction Mode This mode automatically adjusts sensitivity up to ISO 6400 depending on the brightness of the subject, allowing the photographer to shoot at high shutter speeds that minimize camera shake and subject blur. (
* 3) “Movie SR” function This is an electronic image stabilization function exclusively for movie shooting that effectively compensates for image distortion caused by camera shake during movie shooting through software.
