Dust/splash/freeze resistant design
Designed to support your passion for creativity even in challenging environments. The magnesium alloy frame, combined with sealing on all joints, dials, and buttons, ensures dust- and splash-resistance*. The terminal caps and contact covers are independently separated, allowing you to open only the necessary sections when connecting external devices. Additionally, the camera is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -10°C** and has been tested to function in high temperatures up to 40°C. Despite being equipped with a cooling fan, it still maintains a high level of robustness.
