The ultra high quality imagery begins with a precision 12x F1.2–3.5 optical zoom lens (35mm
equivalent: 29.6–355mm). When shooting in the HD mode, Dynamic Zoom combines optical

zoom and pixel mapping from a 4K image sensor to create seamless and lossless 24x zoom.

This allows the camera to have a long zoom range while retaining its compact form factor.
