Caveats
- S-Log2/S-Log3 and HLG are 8-bit only; S-Log3 prone to posterization - DPReview suggests S-Log2Source
- No lens/optical stabilization (ZV-1 had it); digital IS jerks when hitting correction limits on walking turnsSource
- 4K max 30p; slow motion only 1080pSource
- Poor battery life: DPReview got ~30-35 min of video vs 45 min CIPASource
- ND filter cannot be set to Auto in movie or S&Q modesSource
- No headphone jackSource
Thermals
