CONDITION NOTE (EXCELLENT OPERATIONAL / LIGHT SCREEN SCRATCHES)
This pocket vlogging camera is in Excellent Operational Condition. It has been comprehensively bench-tested across all optical groups, sensor processing tracks, and interface terminals, performing flawlessly.

Cosmetic Imperfections: The rear 3.0-inch LCD touchscreen displays some minor, light surface scratches. These marks are purely cosmetic, do not compromise touch-input responsiveness, and remain invisible when the screen is powered on.

Power Accessories: Comes complete with its rechargeable battery and a matching charging setup.

Missing Accessories: Please note that the original clip-on outdoor furry windscreen is not included with this camera.

Ultra-Wide 20mm Perspective & True Optical Bokeh
Expansive 20mm Fixed Field of View: Captures a sweeping frame that is wider than the human eye. This eliminates the cramped look typical of smartphones, allowing you to establish deep, eye-popping perspective indoors or out, even when shooting at arm’s length.

Large 1″ Sensor & f/2.0 Lens: The 1.0-inch sensor is significantly larger than standard smartphone chips, working with the bright f/2.0 aperture to harvest substantial ambient light for clean, low-noise imagery in dimly lit spaces.

Instant Background Defocus Switch: A dedicated, single-touch top button immediately forces the physical lens elements to open wide. This separates your subject against smooth, authentic optical bokeh, or shifts back to a deep “Clear” field to keep the entire background in crisp focus.

10 Creative Style Presets: Personalize your visual tone instantly without complex editing pipelines. Choose from 10 on-board creative style presets that automatically tune contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, and micro-clarity directly inside the camera processor.

Inclusive Skin Tone Science & Soft Skin Effects: Calibrated color science captures natural, healthy, and realistic skin tones automatically. Outfitted with an adjustable Soft Skin Effect mode to smooth minor blemishes across Low, Mid, and High increments.

Fast Intelligent AF & Dedicated Vlogging Automations
425-Point Contrast-Detection AF: Covers a broad area of the image sensor to lock on with high precision, ensuring your videos stay razor-sharp. Focus targeting can be shifted instantly with a simple tap on the LCD screen.

Real-Time Face & Eye AF: Automatically locks onto and tracks human faces and eyes, ensuring you remain the focal point of the video even when moving erratically in front of the lens.

Face-Priority Auto Exposure (AE): Intelligently measures brightness on your face. It prevents sudden exposure blowing or muddy drops when walking out of direct sunlight and into dense shadows, keeping your complexion perfectly illuminated.

One-Touch Product Showcase Setting: Automatically drops face-priority tracking the instant an item is held up in front of the lens. This shifts focus smoothly to the product, snapping instantly back to your eyes the second the object is removed from the frame.

Active Mode Stabilization: Built-in Active Mode image stabilization minimizes handheld blur and walking vibrations, keeping your vlogging clips stable and fluid.

Dynamic Motion Ramping & Built-In Audio Control
S&Q Slow and Quick Motion Toggle: Adjust time parameters instantly with a physical Slow and Quick button. Create touching moments with up to 5x slow-motion recording, or ramp up the energy with up to 60x hyperlapse time-lapses without using post-production software.

Directional 3-Capsule Top Microphone: Built with an integrated directional microphone array engineered to capture forward-facing audio while isolating side-room distractions and back-end ambient noise.

Standalone 3.5mm Microphone Terminal: Outfitted with a standard 3.5mm input jack, giving you the flexibility to mount advanced external audio systems like the Sony ECM-G1 or ECM-W2BT wireless microphone.

Connected Social Workflow & Intuitive Touch Interface
Redesigned Touch Interface & Controls: First-time camera users can jump straight into production. Standard control icons are cleanly mapped directly to the side flip-out touchscreen for fast, smartphone-like touch-to-adjust control.

Vertical Video Meta-Tagging: Shoot vertical video natively for immediate smartphone app ingestion. The camera automatically injects orientation tags into the metadata, enabling direct vertical playback on mobile screens without manual cropping.

In-Camera Shot Mark Clips: Streamline your editing workflow. Drop a “Shot Mark” while recording or reviewing to instantly trim out a standalone 15, 30, or 60-second clip, ready to push immediately to your phone.

Seamless Smartphone Connectivity: Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication link with the Imaging Edge Mobile Plus application for rapid wireless file transfers or full remote shutter control from your phone screen.
