How it works
The camera uses a unique Live MOS sensor that is capable of recording images in user-selectable native aspect ratios of 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 with no cropping and the same angle of view in any particular format. Most other digital cameras achieve different image aspect ratios by cropping the image from the native sensor format.[1]
What can it run?
Process applications and technology nodes documented for this tool.
- still photography
- high-definition video recording
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- Video recording limited to 30 minutes in Europe due to EU regulatory and tax reasons.
- Maximum file size 4 GB due to SDHC file allocation table limits, though video is seamless between files.
