Great camera but with some problems for me

As other reviewers have noted, good sharpness, good programmability for image quality to match our other cameras, some noise in the darkest shadows, but definitely good. I really like this camera for the price. It interacted with my Stream Deck which has a Companion installed for the Sony VISCA protocol. Everything worked as expected. Two things I don't really like, and may not have figured out how to do that yet, are 1) switching between auto and manual focus and 2) turning off auto white balance or color correction. If something nearby comes into the camera's field of view and partially obscures what I'm seeing, the camera may be trying to focus on it. I don't want him to do that. The white balance seems to change under certain circumstances, e.g. B. when zooming in or out. I'll keep digging as I'm sure there is a VISCA command to enable or disable both. Let's see if the camera supports it. If so, then full 5 stars.

Pros
  • The built-in 1/2.7 inch Panasonic CMOS sensor, combined with 2D and 3D noise reduction, delivers high quality videos up to 1080p 60fps.
Cons
  • Minor issues
