Sony Dev-3 digital recording binoculars User manual

Easy to find, Never lose the subject.

1920x1080 Full HD 60i recording

and 7.1 MP still image capture

Geotagging with built-in GPS

receiver

Capturing 1920 x 1080 resolution lets you record your

memories in exceptional Full High Definition quality.

Capable of 60i recording and playback via HDMI® on

a compatible HDTV (cable sold separately) provides

stunning clarity and incredible detail of your memories.

At the same time, you can also capture up to 7.1MP still

images so you never miss that decisive moment2

A built-in GPS receiver makes the DEV-5 an ideal

choice for travelers. The receiver gives you the ability

to view your current location on the viewfinder LCD

map display, as well as “tag” your shooting locations.

Tagged videos and still images can be reviewed and

played back once downloaded to your PC using the

supplied PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software3

Up to 20x Seamless Zoom in 3D

mode with AutoFocus

Enjoy high magnification of up to 20x total zoom in 3D

mode with the DEV-5 (or up to 10x optical zoom with the

DEV-3). Both models offer seamless zoom from 0.9x to

maximum magnification so users will find it easy to frame

their subjects. With Autofocus, the subject will remain

sharp in view through zooming unlike conventional

zooming binoculars. And, unlike conventional

binoculars, the DEV-3 and DVE-5 also focus on subjects

as close as 0.39" (1cm) when recording in 2D, and as

close as 31.5" (80cm) when recording in 3D.

Optical SteadyShot™ image

stabilization w/ Active Mode

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active

Mode compensates for greater degrees of camera

shake to deliver stunningly smooth images, whether

you’re simply observing through these unique binoculars

or shooting in Full HD 3D or 2D video. Now you can

capture life smoothly as it happens while walking and

zooming in from wide to telephoto and back.

Ergonomic and Functional

Design

These binoculars have been designed for the

end-user in mind, with a grip block for optimized

comfortable, fatigue-free viewing and shooting,

dual record buttons and a manual dial for focus

control. With the ability to view your subject and

instantaneously record video and/or still photos

with the same device you will lighten your load.

Long recording capability and

Battery Display

Enjoy your surroundings with ease of mind knowing

that, with your supplied NP-FV70 rechargeable

battery pack, you can capture up to 2 hours and

35 minutes of 2D recording on a single charge4

Remaining battery time is displayed in minutes on

viewfinder LCD, so you’ll always be able to keep

track of how much recording time is left.

Dual Back-illuminated “Exmor R”

CMOS sensors for superb

low-light video

Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with

improved image clarity and drastically reduced

grain with Sony’s back-illuminated “Exmor R”

CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras

and camcorders, the “Exmor R” sensor relocates

the photo diodes above the support circuitry,

maximizing the light gathering area per pixel

so you can shoot with better results in lower

lighting conditions.

Sony introduces the world’s first pair of digital recording binoculars

capable of capturing full AVCHD™ (1920x1080) video in 2D or 3D. Both

the DEV-5 and the DEV-3 have incredible 10x optical zoom for viewing

or capturing video in 2D and 3D with the DEV-5 incorporating extended

digital zoom up to 20x so you can get up close and personal without

disturbing your subject. These are the only pair of binoculars that offer

autofocus while zooming, allowing you to frame a shot and never miss

memorable moments. Each model boasts Optical SteadyShot™ image

stabilization, which reduces blur for crisp sharp images whether you’re

just observing or when capturing stunning video. These binoculars will

change the way you see and remember life.
