It also records Full HD (1920 x 1080) MPEG HD 422 at 50 Mbps in industry-standard MXF files, along with 24-bit 48 kHz, 4-channel audio. It is also capable of recording MPEG-2 HD 420 in Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 35 Mbps.

The kit is supplied with 2x 32GB SxS cards, each with an approximate recording time of 60 minutes in HD422 mode.

Lens

The 14x lens supplied is an image-stabilised AF/MF zoom lens with a range of 5.8-81.2mm/F1.9, equivalent to 31.4-439 mm on 35mm lens and the filter diameter is 77mm

Optional 2/3" B4 Mount Adapter to allow cinema-style and HD electronic lenses. As this is a 1/2" CCD sensor, it will actually give an extended reach, so that an HJ22x7.8 (7.8-171mm) lens will have a reach closer to 300mm.
