**Newly Developed Wide-Angle 24.5 mm*¹ and 15x Optical Zoom LEICA DICOMAR Lens**

15x Optical Zoom: The 4-Drive Lens System achieves both high image quality/sensitivity and compactness with a wide-angle 24.5 mm,*¹and a 15x Optical Zoom lens. This speedy Zoom provides quick zooming in and out.
High-Resolution Intelligent Zoom: In FHD mode, the i.Zoom function increases the zooming capability to a maximum of 25x while maintaining High-Resolution. The i.Zoom function seamlessly switches on when the Optical Zoom limit is reached.
Digital Zoom (x2/x5/x10): The Digital Zoom function activates without any drop in light intensity. Combining the Optical Zoom, and i.Zoom enables maximum zooming of 250x*².
LEICA DICOMAR*³ Lens: This lens has passed the stringent quality standards of Leica Camera AG. A multi-coating process minimizes ghosts and flaring, resulting in especially clear images.
*1: 35 mm film camera equivalent in FHD mode. 35.4 mm in UHD mode.
*2: Using 15x Optical Zoom + i.Zoom + Digital Zoom 10x in FHD mode. The higher the magnification, the greater the image quality degradation.

LEICA DICOMAR products are manufactured using Leica-certified measuring instruments and quality assurance systems based on rigorous quality standards approved by Leica Camera AG.

1.0-Type MOS Sensor for High-Precision, UHD 25p or FHD 50p Recording

High-Image-Quality, High-Sensitivity, 1.0-Type 4K MOS Sensor: The 1.0-type MOS Sensor provides an outstanding depth of field, and excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity. High-resolution Recording is possible in UHD (3840×2160) 25p mode.
High-Image-Quality FHD Recording: Professional, high-end image Recording is possible in FHD (1920×1080) mode with a 50-Mbps bit rate.
UHD/FHD/SD Multiformat: Versatile Recording modes can be selected according to resolution, frame rate, bit rate, and file format. (See table below.)

Recording Quality

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer and High-Speed, High-Precision Intelligent AF

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer [UHD/FHD]: The correction area of the Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) has been expanded to approximately 900% over the conventional area (as compared to the Panasonic AG-AC160). This provides powerful correction even in unstable shooting situations, such as low-angle or high-angle shots.
5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer [FHD]: In HD shooting modes, by using hand-shake correction that combines the effects of both optical and electronic image stabilization, hand-shake in various directions, including the rotary direction, is detected and corrected.
Intelligent Auto Focus: The Microdrive Focus Unit achieves superior auto focusing with higher-speed tracking and stability even in 4K images.
Custom AF Function: Auto Focus operation can be customised by adjusting the AF Speed, AF Sensitivity and AF Area Width. This function enables the AF to operate exactly as intended by the user in accordance with the subject type or application.

Versatile Manual Functions — Manual Three Rings + Focus Assist

Manual Three Rings: The AG-UX90 features manual three rings for Zoom, Focus and Iris control. These manual controls ensures Professional operation.
Focus Assist (Expand and Peaking): Expand (enlargement)* or Peaking (coloured emphasis of focus point) is displayed to assist the user’s manual focusing operation.
One-Push AF: This function temporarily activates Auto Focus when shooting in Manual Focus mode, using a “PUSH AUTO” button.
Area Function: Auto Focus is easily possible with just a touch on the LCD panel. You can also change this to Auto Iris and Brightness Display.

By moving the Micro Drive Focus Unit minutely and quickly, highly precise AF performance is also achieved when shooting in 4K or shooting with a shallow depth of field.

* The part to be expanded is designated by touching the screen.

FHD VFR (Variable Frame Rate) Recording, Double SD Memory Card Slots

FHD VFR Recording: VFR Recording can be set in 9 steps from 2 to 50 fps.
Unlimited Relay Recording: By using double SD memory card slots, automatically records continuously from Slot 1 to Slot 2. By changing the SD card, images can be recorded continuously for many hours*.
Simultaneous Recording: By using double SD memory card slots, identical data is recorded onto cards in both slots in this dual Recording mode.
Pre Rec: This function constantly caches approximately 4 seconds of video and audio data in MOV/MP4 format, or approximately 3 seconds in AVCHD format, prior to Rec Start, so the data can be recovered in case there is a delay in pressing Rec Start.
Interval Rec: Records intermittently based on a set interval time of 1 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute or 2 minutes.
Freeze Frame: Images can be recorded as still images together with audio. This function is convenient when moving the camera to a different location or when shooting a different scene.
Time Stamp: The date and time can be stamped onto recorded images.

Unlimited Relay Recording

Simultaneous Recording

* Recording can continue across multiple SD cards. However, each time the file reaches 96 GB, it will be split into two files, but the Recording continues. If the Relay Recording time reaches 10 hours, shooting will temporarily stop, and then automatically restart a few seconds later.
