SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2016 – Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging, has today introduced their first POV cameras to feature the innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot (B.O.SS) image stabilization technology, the FDR-X3000R 4K1 model and HDR-AS300R Full HD model.

The flagship feature of the two new cameras – Balanced Optical SteadyShot2  – 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 caused by excessive motion, whether shooting handheld with optional accessories or during a fast-paced sporting activity.  This is a particularly effective technology when paired with a POV action camera design as it ensures captured video footage is smooth and stable – even in 4K or high-frame-rate shooting modes.

Firmware 4.0 is much quicker at focusing, but the Techart Pro adapter makes more noise than ever while focusing. From my initial testing FW4 seems like a pretty substantial improvement in focusing performance.

Techart PRO Firmware v4.0
1. Improve the focusing speed and accuracy
2. Improve the stability of the adapter
