FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 1" CMOS sensor?
The 1" CMOS sensor provides excellent image quality, better low-light performance, and allows for a shallower depth of field, enabling more creative control over background blur.

Yes, the camera features two XLR audio inputs that support professional microphones, including those requiring +48V phantom power.
What type of SD card is recommended for 4K recording?
For reliable UHD 4K recording, it is recommended to use an SD card rated as UHS-I U3 or higher for sufficient write speeds.
How does the KamKorda bag protect the camera?
The KamKorda bag is designed to provide padded protection against bumps, scratches, and dust, ensuring the camera is safe during transport and storage.
Is this camera suitable for live streaming?
While the camera itself doesn't have a direct streaming output, its Mini-HDMI output can be connected to a capture card or streaming encoder for live streaming purposes.
What is the maximum focal length of the integrated zoom lens?
The integrated lens features a 15x optical zoom.
Troubleshooting
Camera not powering on
Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted. Check that the AC adapter is securely connected if using mains power.
Poor video quality or artifacts
Verify that the SD card meets the recommended speed class for 4K recording (UHS-I U3 or higher). Ensure the lens is clean and free of smudges.
No audio recording
Check that microphones are properly connected to the XLR inputs. Ensure the audio input level is set correctly in the camera's menu and that the microphone is enabled for recording.
Camera overheating during extended use
This can happen during continuous 4K recording in warm environments. Allow the camera to cool down between long takes. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked.
SD card not recognized
Format the SD card in the camera itself (this will erase all data). Ensure the card is inserted correctly and is not corrupted.
