Despite its light weight, this camera can record uncompressed CinemaDNG raw video for extreme post-production and editing flexibility. The device features a Dynamic range of 13 stops, meaning detail is well preserved in shadow and highlight areas of the picture to be brought out later. Additionally, it gives users the ability to choose their preferred [micro 4/3 lens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canon-eos-c50) and control everything from focus and iris to zoom -- all from an easy-to-use remote control.
