7-Inch, 2500nits, TFT LCD Screen. This recorder has a very bright, daylight-viewable LCD panel with touchscreen controls. The 1920×1080, 427 ppi resolution provides super crisp images on the 7-inch display, and the 10-bit bit depth renders rich, accurate colors.
Professional Video Tools. The Video Assist includes professional video tools such as focus zoom, focus peaking, zebras, histogram, false color, scopes, frame markers, frame guides to help you nail your shot the first time.
Dual SD / External SSD Recording. This recorder accepts dual UHS-II SD cards (not included) for continuous recording of DCI or UHD 4K footage. Using a non-UHS-II SD card will limit recording to around HD levels. For Blackmagic RAW recording, we can only recommend Sony Tough SD cards or Samsung 1TB T5 portable SSD drives.
