Image qualityThe camera has a large full-frame image sensor, so you can record without crop. That means your videos aren't recut. Thanks to this wide viewing angle, you can easily get yourself and your surroundings in frame. If you like to make slow motion videos, record in Full HD at 240 fps. You then get smooth images that you can slow down in post-editing. In the Cinematic Vlog Setting, you record in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. This aspect ratio can also be found in movie theater movies. Choose from 3 standard spaces and always record cinematic images. Turn on the Gold profile with the touch of a button to make the colors in your video a bit warmer, for example.
