has an advanced feature set that will satisfy even the
most discriminating videographers. Housing controls include
power on/off, record start/stop, double tap variable zoom
control, electronic manual focus, momentary auto focus
on/off, manual iris and gain, shutter speed, manual push
white balance and neutral density filter. Smart Grip Handles

and Self Locking Rotary Latches provide the security you
would expect allowing you the peace of mind to focus on
your passion.
