Approved lenses:
• Sony Sonnar® T* E 24 mm F1.8 ZA
(SEL24F18Z) - 225g. For survey mis-
sions requiring maximum image qual-
ity (default lens)
• Sony E PZ 16-50 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
(SELP1650) - 116g. For inspection
tasks, zoom capability and optical sta-
bilizer assist in live inspection tasks
• Sony Sonnar T* FE 35 mm F2.8 ZA
(SEL35F28Z) - 120 g. For fixed distance
inspection or building survey tasks
• Sony E 20 mm F2.8 (SEL20F28) - 69 g.
Very lightweight all-around lens, suit-
able for survey missions with demand
for large area coverage
Please note that other lenses, while physi-
cally compatible with the camera, may be
too heavy and are not approved.
Images are stored on the payload SD card,
which is inserted in the front left hand cor-
ner as shown to the left.
Recorded videos can be transferred to this
payload SD card as well (see below).
To transfer files from the payload card to a
computer, please use an SD card reader
connected to the computer.
Note: The frequency with which images can be captured depends on how quickly the
image data can be written to the target media during a flight. During flights images
are written directly to the user-changeable payload microSDHC card for easy access
to the files post-flight.
The microSDHC bus type and speed class, along with the card manufacturer's real-
world performance specifications, set the limit for how frequently images can be
saved to the media during flights. Using the supplied microSDHC card, Intel has
successfully validated repeated contiguous image captures of up to 500 images with
a frequency of up to 1 image capture every 1.5 seconds. Please note that when using
microSDXC cards in the payload, they will work in SDHC compatibility mode and the
stated read/write speed performance may not be achievable.
