These features allow the AF time to be as minimal as 0.2 sec for 300 mm telephoto shots and 28 mm wide-angle shots.
The CX5 camera features a 10.7x optical zoom, which allows photographers to realize maximum ultra-telephoto shooting of 2880 mm and telephoto shooting of 600 mm. In addition, it provides various features including preset creative shooting capabilities like Toy Camera; SD/Eye-Fi card support; HDMI connectivity; and a 3’’ LCD panel with 960k-dot resolution.
