The SX series allows for long range surveillance of many vital areas such as borders, harbors, maritime, airports and vital infrastructure facilities. In addition it is also possible to shoot small and fast moving targets such as drones using the ultra high speed AF.
The SX series allows you to take advantage of the telephoto performance to quickly confirm and monitor disasters such as forest fires, flood & eruptions from a safe & remote location. This could prove vital when human lives may be in harms way.
Thanks to high operational accuracy the inspection of objects can be made quickly & reliably. Our SX series gives a greater advantage to "visual inspection." This cuts down on man hours and improves safety of employees in some cases.
The long range capabilities of the SX series can provide a new expressive style in a wide range of "entertainment" fields such as long-range photography, astronomical observation, sports & sightseeing spots that are limited by conventional cameras.
The wide range of focal lengths including super telephoto makes the inspection of high altitudes or dangerous areas more safe versus conventional inspections conducted by people.
As you can see in the video, our high performance optical stabilization greatly reduces blurring in natural settings such as surveillance from a tower, inspections on the sea or monitoring a forest.
The SX can shoot an object in low light without an illuminator. When used with an illuminator the object can be seen even more clearly.
High speed auto focus allows the SX to capture objects at a very high rate of speed. The camera is also equipped with continuing AF that tracks objects of interest.
When fog is present and making scenes challenging to see with the naked eye the SX series possesses unique technology that can easily cut through the fog and correct the scene.
Longer range? No problem the new SX1600 covers a focal range from 40mm wide-angle to 1600mm on the telephoto side. The digital zoom allows you to cover a range up to 3200mm.
The first generation SX camera covers a focal range from 20mm wide-angle to 800mm on the telephoto end. The digital zoom takes you all the way out to 1600mm.
