Sony HXR-NX30P

Ultra wide-angle 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens

Sony HXR-NX30P camcorder comes with a 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that suppresses unwanted reflections to assure faithful colour reproduction. It also provides high contrast And high image quality with exceptional resolution from 26.0mm wide angle to 260mm telephoto (35mm equivalent). Thanks to the 6-blade iris diaphragm, you can enjoy an exceptionally realistic expression of natural light.
* The supplied step-down ring is required to mount conversion lenses. Conversion lenses cannot be mounted unless the supplied hood is removed. Also, be sure to set the conversion lens mode on the body before using. When using the Wide Conversion Lens setting, switch Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ off.

1/2.88-inch type Exmor R CMOS image sensor

Sony HXRNX30P Video Camera Even when shooting dark scenes, the back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor provides high sensitivity And low noise that are hard to believe from such a compact unit. What is more, using a 1/2.88-inch type sensor with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is ideal for wide-angle shooting. This lets you record images with even higher definition.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization system

The innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization system eliminates the influence of vibrations from the body by enclosing the entire optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, in a “floating” space. Combined with electronic image stabilization that compensates for rotation around the optical axis, this new system provides powerful image stabilization even when shooting whilst zooming, which was previously difficult to achieve. So now you can record stable images with minimal blur, every time.
To optimize the effect of Balanced Optical SteadyShot™, the HXR-NX30P Sony features a FIXED SHOT mode. Press a button And this expAnds the movable range of the optical block to keep you locked on your subject. This is particularly convenient when you want to maintain the same shooting angle for an extended period.

Full HD video capture And still image recording

Sony HXR-NX30E allows you to shoot at 50fps progressive (1080/50p) with 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution. Using a 25p timeline setting with AVCHD 2.0 compatible NLE software enables conversion to smooth slow-motion images up to 2x slower. You can also select 1080/50i/25p, 1280x720 50p And PAL.
Simultaneous recording of still images while shooting video is another feature of the HXRNX30E. It is possible to shoot high quality images with a resolution as high as 24.1M (16:9 / 6544 x 3680, 4:3 / 4912 x 3680).

Embedded Flash memory And Memory Stick PRO Duo/ SD multi card slot

The built-in 96GB embedded Flash memory can record And store up to 30 hours of high definition video footage in HD LP mode with Dolby Digital audio mode. And there is an amulet-card slot that lets you record video images on Memory Stick PRO Duo And SD cards, giving you a range of options in your choice of recording media. You can also use these readily available cards to copy data from internal memory.

XLR audio inputs And ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone records Linear PCM audio

Two balanced XLR audio inputs are built-in with phantom power And attenuation options that professional users require for clean sound quality. Default audio settings for XLR recording are highlighted in green for easy reference in the field in order to reduce operator error under difficult lighting conditions.
The ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone mounted on top of the ergonomic hAndle provides audio recording performance similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG style cameras.
The HXR-NX30E is also able to record high-quality 48kHz/16 bit Linear PCM audio.

Timecode/user bit recording And HDMI embedded timecode output

HXR-NX30P Sony features the important professional camcorder functions of timecode And user bit settings. Like other NXCAM camcorders, the HXRNX30 Pal allows timecode to be centrally reset using an infrared remote control for easy synchronization of video from multiple cameras*. Using NLE software, live footage shot with multiple NXCAM camcorders can be efficiently edited with timecode sync. Timecodes And user bits can also be output through an HDMI jack.
* Does not completely synchronize the operations of multiple cameras.

Built-in light offers auxiliary light source for video or flash for still image capture

You can use this built-in light as a flash when shooting still images or as an auxiliary light source when recording video. Using the NightShot mode is particularly effective when recording in low-light conditions And allows you to capture otherwise impossible shots.

Built-in projector to view rushes

A built-in projector can project images up to 100 inches wide (when projecting 5m from a screen, 40 inches wide when projecting 2m from a screen). Large-screen projection of images enables all the staff involved to check the rushes at the end of the shoot And reduces the need for an external display.
