- Camera Iris: Fixed (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity. Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
