NEXEA50M

Entry level large sensor NXCAM camcorder


The NEX-EA50UM has F4 Constant Aperture Servo Zoom G Lens "SELP18105G", and is the replacement model of the NEX-EA50UH.The lens features constant F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, quiet and continuous variable focus/zoom/iris operation, and the length of the lens remains constant for maximum handling consistency, and Optical Steady Shot™ image stabilization, making it ideal for shooting moving images. Variable zooming speed is electronically controlled by zoom rocker levers located on the camcorder’s handgrip, top handle, a zoom rocker on the lens itself and by LANC compatible remote controllers as well.
