What to know before buying

The listing's generic zoom field says Optical, but Canon describes the lens as fixed and explains that zooming during video uses digital zoom. Stabilization cannot be combined with digital zoom and crops video. The 4K/30 fps thermal recording limit and enhanced stabilization's firmware 1.2.0-or-later requirement are also specified. Confirm the selected listing's exact lens and recording details if these are decisive.

Less suited to
