Key Features
Angle of view adjustment function
Capture epic wide-angle views with the ZEISS Tessar lens or choose standard but striking views. Either way, you'll always be capturing beautiful shots of the most challenging ski slopes, mountain trails, swirling rapids, or pitted asphalt paths.
Built-in stereo mic captures quality sound
Discover new flexibility to vary your shooting in action for dramatic effects and added excitement. For example, your angle of view can be switched between "Wide" and "Narrow" in two levels. In addition, seamlessly adjustable zoom mode enables you to change zooming while shooting.
4K Time-lapse Capture
Make a great movie even better with great audio. Built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture sounds of your adventure in two-track stereo, naturally. Clear sound with reduced noise enhances the most sophisticated movie work you can produce.
Highlight Movie Maker with face detection
Time-lapse Capture lets you produce time-lapse movies easily by using high-quality 4K still images shot at designated intervals. Then Action Cam Movie Creator (v. 5.1 for Windows, v. 3.1 for Mac) or Action Cam App (v. 2.0) simply transforms these images into an impressive time-lapse movie.
New intuitive user interface for easy operation
Discover how easily built-in Highlight Movie Maker works with face detection for in-camera auto editing. Highlight Movie Maker also supports a wider range of scenes - not just sports performance but also daily situations and travel - automatically selecting highlight points of footage to create a highlight movie, complete with background music. You can share your work immediately by using smartphone.
SteadyShot beats bumps and blur
Selecting and changing features has never been easier thanks to the new, intuitive user interface. All menus are easily accessible. Enjoy a seamless camera setting experience and find the perfect setting for your shooting needs. Camera can also be turned on/off via smartphone with PlayMemories Mobile.
Exmor R CMOS sensor with enhanced sensitivity
From the rockiest trail to the wildest surf, you want to shoot crisp, clear video your audience will actually enjoy watching. SteadyShot normalises the oscillation the image brings to the sensor. This means motion blur and noise levels are reduced, even in low light.
BIONZ X for superior detail and texture
Mountain-biking downhill at breakneck speed at dusk? Kayaking at dawn? Your footage is still going to look great, thanks to the low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain provided by Sony's Exmor R CMOS sensor.
Manual control for sophisticated movie style
Sony's image processing engine faithfully reproduces textures and details, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing. Together with front-end LSI (large scale integration) that accelerates processing, BIONZ X enables more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations, and lower noise whether you're shooting photos or movies.
Live Streaming via Ustream
Explore sophisticated shooting features for thrilling action movies you'll be proud to share with family, friends, and fans. Use advanced manual settings like white balance and AE shifting, and optimise brightness and hue to match images of other camcorders for easier movie editing. Show your skill and style as director and action star.

Multi Camera Control

Action Cam App
