Recording data rates can go up to 35Mbps, and can be recorded directly to MOV or MP4 file formats for easier handling in non-linear editing suites. The files themselves are stored on SDHC memory cards. High definition recording formats supported go up to 1080p, or 1080i for broadcast. Light gathering is handled through a Fujinon HD lens that has a number of auto modes or can be used manually. Audio is recorded uncompressed on 2 channels, and level controls can be set manually with the help of a built-in audio meter. In addition to the built-in directional microphone, XLR inputs that provide phantom power are also available.
