FAQ

1. What focal lengths do Luna Series cameras support? / What is the maximum zoom level? / What is the maximum Clarity Zoom level?

Camera Model	Supported Common Focal Lengths	Maximum Zoom Level	Maximum Clarity Zoom Level
Luna Ultra	1x, 2x, 3x, 6x, and 12x	12x	6x
Luna Pro	1x, 2x, and 4x	4x	2x

2. Does Luna Series feature optical zoom or digital crop zoom? / Does Luna Series offer optical zoom? / Does Luna Series offer Clarity Zoom? / Does Luna Series offer digital crop zoom?

Camera Model	Optical Zoom Levels	Clarity Zoom Levels	Digital Crop Zoom Levels
Luna Ultra	1x and 3x	2x and 6x	12x
Luna Pro	1x	2x	4

3. Can the camera be customized so that a brief push of the zoom slider switches the camera to a specific focal length?

No. Currently, a brief push of the zoom slider only cycles through the common focal lengths in order. It cannot be customized to jump directly to a single specific focal length. We will continue to improve our products in the future to provide you with a better user experience. Thank you for your understanding and support!

4. Does Luna Ultra support zoom on both the main lens and the telephoto lens? If so, what is the logic behind this?

Both lenses support zooming, with the following logic:

• Focal lengths below 3×: The zooming is handled by the main lens.
• 3× and above: The zooming is handled by the telephoto lens.

5. Which video modes and shooting specifications support continuous zoom?

You can use continuous zoom in the following video modes and shooting specifications: the Video Mode at 60fps and below, and the PureVideo Mode at 60fps and below.

6. [For Luna Ultra only] What is the pixel count of Luna Ultra's telephoto lens?

The telephoto lens resolution on the Luna Ultra depends on the photo mode and resolution, as follows:

Photo Mode	Pixels	Resolution
UltraPhoto	37MP	7040 × 5288 and 6144 × 6144
	33MP	7680 × 4320
Photo	9MP	3520 × 2644 and 3072 × 3072
	8MP	3840 × 2160

7. [For Luna Ultra only] When using Luna Ultra's telephoto lens for macro shooting, what is the approximate reproduction ratio?

When the subject is approximately 5.91in (15cm) from the lens, the maximum reproduction ratio in the telephoto macro mode is about 0.1x (this value represents the ratio of image size to the actual size of the subject).

8. [For Luna Ultra only] What are the causes and solutions for black screen flickers and stuttering when switching lenses during 8K video recording with Luna Ultra, or the inability to zoom further after reaching 2.9x?

On the Luna Ultra, 8K recording mode does not support seamless lens switching. Due to hardware performance limitations, the preview may briefly go black or stutter for about half a second when you switch lenses during continuous zoom, with more noticeable stutter when the Detachable Touchscreen Remote is detached. Additionally, during 8K recording, zooming will stop at 2.9x. These are normal phenomena and not device malfunctions. You may refer to the following:

• If you need seamless lens switching or continuous zoom during preview or recording, we recommend selecting a shooting specification with a resolution of 4K or lower and a frame rate of 60fps or lower.
• If you prefer to continue shooting in 8K mode, you can stop the current recording, switch lenses and then start a new recording.
