Video clips can be recorded at resolutions up to 720 x 576 pixels (interlaced) and the camera can record in light levels down to 3 Lux. The Scheider lens covers a 34x optical zoom range, which can be extended to 1200x with the digital zoom function. Maximum apertures range from f/1.6 to f/4.3. Time-lapse and interval recording are supported. Built-in Hyper D.I.S. stabilisation processing is provided, along with support for auto and manual focusing.
