■Model equipped with high-magnification iA zoom 90x and WiFi, equipped with wipe function
The W570M is a high-magnification zoom model equipped with a "wipe shooting function" that was previously only available on high-end models.
It offers 50x optical and 90x iA zoom, which are popular for shooting sports events and other events, and is equipped with 5-axis hybrid image stabilization with tilt correction, allowing you to capture close-up footage even in scenes where the shooting distance tends to be far.
In addition, the new wipe shooting function makes this a model that can be enjoyed from angles that were previously not possible.

■You can also import footage taken with your smartphone! New wipe function included
The biggest feature of this model is the wipe function, which has been significantly improved over the previous model.
Close-up and long-distance shots at the same time

Now it's possible to capture footage that would previously have been missed
Wipe images that were previously impossible can now be freely displayed with smartphone connectivity
[Up/down mechanism added to sub camera]
In the previous model, the sub-camera for wipes could only move left and right, which resulted in many missed shots and failed attempts, so an "up and down mechanism" has been added to the sub-camera, reducing the risk of failing to take wipe shots.
[Backup function in case wipe shooting fails]
Previously, if a wipe shot failed, the failed wipe image would continue to be displayed on the main image, which could ruin the main image, leading to complaints that "I'm afraid of failing, so I can't take wipe shots." To address this, a "backup function" has been added that allows you to switch to an image without a wipe later if a wipe shot fails.
[You can now change the wipe by touching the LCD screen]
Additionally, many people have expressed a desire to be able to easily change the size of the wipe. In response to this request, this model makes it possible to intuitively change the size, zoom, and frame color by touching the LCD screen.
[Wireless sub-camera function for taking wipe shots with your smartphone]
The biggest feature of the wipe function on this model is the "wireless sub-camera function," which allows you to insert footage shot on your own smartphone as a wipe, rather than shooting with the included sub-camera. For example, dad could shoot the main footage on a video camera, and mom could shoot the wipe footage from a completely different angle on her smartphone.
■ Equipped with Wi-Fi functionality, allowing for a variety of uses
The Wi-Fi functionality enables a "baby monitor" function that allows you to check in on your baby in a different room using your smartphone, an "automatic photo collage" function that automatically cuts out several best scenes and combines them into one photo to upload to social media, and an "easy stop motion mode" that allows you to stitch together still images and enjoy stop motion playback on the device itself.
Another feature is that it is DLNA compatible, so recorded videos can be played wirelessly on compatible TVs.
