The high sensitivity and large size of the sensor supports background defocus, low-light capture and less image noise. it has High Frame Rate cache recording at 10-bit 4:2:2 full-HD, at rates of up to 240 fps in 8 second bursts, which makes 1/10 times Super Slow Motion possible without losing bit depth or image quality. The 14 stops of latitude in exposure deliver strong grayscale rendition without crushing shadows or blowing out light details. |
