Notes
- Since it's a cinema camera, a lot of stills camera specs will be 0, for example CIPA shots per charge or FPS for photos.
- This camera has an oversized Four Thirds sensor, which has less of a crop factor overall, but means that you'll still get the same diagonal 2x crop factor in different aspect ratios. This does mean that the camera can't technically record open gate, because you can't get an image from the full sensor.
- This camera does not have a built-in display or viewfinder, and its USB-C port does not support Power Delivery (PD) or charging. It requires an external monitor to navigate menus and view images, and must be powered via an AG-VBR battery, a 12V DC input, or Power over Ethernet (PoE+).
