The 10X zoom, image-stabilized lens covers a range of 24.1-241mm for stills and 27.3-273mm for video, though its f2.8-f5.6 maximum aperture is one of the tradeoffs of going with a fixed lens.

The camcorder also has a built-in function to extract eight megapixel still images from recorded 4K video, making it one of Canon’s most convenient multimedia tools to date.
