Caveats

  • Per-fps availability of K-Log vs HLG is not published; maker only states all listed modes record 10-bit.Source
  • Stabilization is applied in post (app/Studio) from gyro data, not in-camera on the raw file.Source
  • Conflicting maker info on HDMI: overview says USB-C has 'HDMI compatibility', FAQ says 'Currently, it does not support USB and HDMI output.'Source
  • IP68 but 'Not suitable for underwater shooting without an underwater housing'; not waterproof with USB cover open.Source
  • Battery must be inserted even when on external power (FAQ).Source
  • Charging spec 9V/2A or 5V/3A (chargingW 18 = 9V×2A).Source

Thermals

  • Built-in fan with Smart/Always-On (manual) or Silent Recording / Silent Priority / Cooling Priority (FAQ) modes; 'Built-in fan prevents crashes during long high-heat filming'.Source
  • 'Auto Stop Rec Temp' setting: default High; switch to Standard to maintain lower operating temperatures.Source

Firmware notes

  • V1.1.1.15: AEB 9/11/13/15 shots; mic level display; Bluetooth remote quick capture; HLG quality optimized; fixed brightness flicker at clip start.Source
  • V1.1.2.15: TimeFusion mode; in-camera real-time JPG stitching; K-Log image quality optimized; AE shutter up to 1/11000s.Source
  • V1.1.3.8: EV range extended to ±4; touch-to-capture.Source
  • V1.1.4.2: fixed redness in dark areas in HLG with DR Boost off in low light.Source
  • V1.1.5.11: HLG skin tone / HLG Normal colour improvements; K-Log WB fix at low colour temperature.Source
  • 2025-08-17: V1.1.6.6: optimized red colour performance in K-Log.Source
