A whole new dimension of action video recording

Action Cam combines stunning 4K imaging with special camera shake compensation from Balanced Optical SteadyShot. By controlling the entire optical path as a single floating unit, Balanced Optical SteadyShot neutralizes the effects of camera shake much more effectively. This improved stabilization system makes it even easier to capture amazingly clear, stable shots while traveling or cycling, or in other busy situations.

Live remote control for easy control

A perfect match for successful recordings. With the live remote control, all recording settings can be specified, and it can also be turned on and off. And for seamless collaboration, they have the same intuitive user interface. So however you shoot and wherever you go, the camcorder and remote control will be in perfect harmony, ready for exciting adventures.

BIONZ X for unparalleled detail and texture

Thanks to the extra high-speed processing, Sony's image processing processor reproduces textures faithfully, as we can see with the naked eye. Combined with pre-processing LSI (Large Scale Integration) technology responsible for speeding up processing, BIONZ X results in more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal differences and lower noise levels, whether it's capturing photos or videos.

Exmor R CMOS sensor with even higher sensitivity

Gliding down the mountain on a mountain bike at breakneck speed at dusk? Are you going on a morning kayak tour? Still, the footage is great thanks to the Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor's excellent low-light sensitivity, improved image sharpness and drastically reduced graininess.

The built-in stereo microphone enables high-quality sound recording

Make great movies even better with stunning sound. The built-in stereo microphone lets you capture the sounds of your adventures in two-band stereo, naturally. Clear sound with reduced noise makes even the most sophisticated movie recordings better.

Adjustable viewing angle and zooming freedom

Discover new flexibility to spice up your action shots with dramatic effects and added excitement. For example, you can choose between "Small", "Medium" or "Large" for the angle of view (Medium and narrow angle settings are not available for 4K and high-speed recording). In addition, you can change the zoom while recording using the easily adjustable zoom mode.

4K time compression recording

With time-lapse recording, you can easily record time-lapse movies with high-quality 4K photos captured at specified intervals. Action Cam Movie Creator (version 5.1 for Windows, version 3.1 for Mac) or Action Cam app (version 2.0) easily transforms these images into stunning time-lapse movies.

Live Streaming with Ustream

Share your experiences from the slopes and killer waves in real time. Share scenes as they happen with data transfer, in excellent image quality and sound.

Motion Shot LE

Capture an entire action scene in a single frame. This feature creates a composite image of the moving subject with different settings for different burst rates (10fps, 5fps and 2fps).
