「We developed the UHK-X700 4K/HD portable camera for a variety of shooting applications. Conventional cameras compatible with the 4K format used rolling-shutter imaging, which could distort images when shooting fast-moving subjects and produce bands of light and dark, known as flash bands, under lighting that emits flashes for a short period. The newly developed UHK-X700 4K/HD portable camera addresses these issues by using a newly developed 4K image sensor that supports global-shutter imaging.」
We developed the UHK-X700 4K/HD portable camera and achieved global-shutter imaging. Shipments were scheduled to begin in fiscal 2021, marking the launch phase for 4K-compatible products. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
