Sony’s new FDR-X3000R 4K POV Action Cam and HDR-AS300R Full HD POV Action Cam both features Sony’s innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot (B.O.SS.) image stabilization technology. This is an advanced form of image stabilization where internally, the camera’s lens and sensor are joined and moved together to compensate for camera shake cause by excessive motion. This allows POV action cameras to ensure smooth and stable video, even in 4K or high-frame-rate shooting modes. Both models also feature a new ZEISS Tessar lens, a new back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor with large pixel designed for 16.9 aspect ratio video plus a powerful BIONZ X processor, for strong, consistent video quality across all settings. Both models will be offered in a kit with a compact Live-View Remote (about 30% smaller than previous version). This remote acts as an extension of the camera allowing you to see what is being recorded when the camera is not accessible. It also has the ability to control various functions such as shooting settings, start/stop recording, power on/off, and more.
