Audio excellenceCapture and monitor superior audio with a microphone input connection and headphone jack. An configurable Mic Attenuator compensates for sudden volume changes, ensuring that audio is always recorded at the optimum level.
Steadier shotsAn Optical Image Stabilizer with a new Dynamic mode lets you record steadier footage, even when you’re moving. Powered IS keeps footage super-steady when shooting at the telephoto end of the zoom range.

These seconds are added to the beginning of each clip, so you can still capture that crucial moment even if you pressed the Record button too late. Instant AF achieves highly accurate focus at speed.
