Colour & Noise Performance
Product Tour Summary
• The fixed lens means no moving parts, but also no ability to adjust focus or optical zoom.
• The 1/4.5-inch CMOS sensor captures a lot of light
• The design is simple and sleek
• The textures make the UltraHD feel more rugged, but look less sexy
Lens & Imaging System
 |
| The fixed lens has a focal range of 1.5m to infinity. |
The lens on the Pure Digital Flip UltraHD is fixed, which means it has no moving parts. The camcorder has a focus range of 1.5m to infinity and its maximum aperture is f/2.4. There are no filters or adapters available for the camcorder's lens, nor would it make sense for the camcorder to have this option. Being a fixed lens, there is no optical zoom capability on the camcorder, but there is a 2x digital zoom feature.
