Features for improved performance
under various shooting conditions
Picture Cache function
The unit can utilize its internal memory to
continuously record the current video input,
allowing recording to commence a certain time (2
to 30 seconds) in advance of the time when the
recording button is pressed, and allowing discs to
be exchanged seamlessly without interrupting the
recording.
Two optical filters
The unit is equipped with separate CC filters and
ND filters. Two filters can be used
simultaneously.
Noise suppression circuits
New noise suppression circuits offer improved
performance under difficult evening or nighttime
shooting conditions.
Slow shutter function
A maximum of 32 frames can be accumulated
using the slow shutter function. In low light levels
this allows clear and noiseless video to be shot,
and provides a fantasy video effect with ghost
images.
Time lapse function (interval recording)
Using this function slow-moving subjects can be
shot with the movement compressed in time. This
is convenient for many applications, such as
monitoring plant growth, or the progress of a
construction site.
Freeze Mix function
This allows a still image from previously
captured video to be aligned with the current
video output from the camera. Thus you can
adjust the camera position to get exactly the same
framing for new shots. For example, this function
makes it easy to frame summer and winter shots
of a landscape scene in exactly the same way.
Digital extender function
This magnifies the center section of the video. It
utilizes electronic processing, which prevents the
decrease in sensitivity (F-drop) that occurs when
the lens extender function is used.
Focus assist function
A focus assist indicator is displayed in the
viewfinder to aid in focusing.
This function is useful when trying to focus using
only the image in the viewfinder.
Assignable switches
Frequently used function can be assigned to
switches for quick and convenient operation.
Hyper gamma
This enables a wide dynamic range without using
the Knee function, by smoothly compressing the
high-luminance range.
Supports digital wireless microphone
system
The digital wireless microphone system offers
high-quality, superior resistance to noise, and
simultaneous multi-channel operation.
Installation of the DWR-S02D Digital Wireless
Receiver 1) enables simultaneous reception of two
channels.
1) These products are not available in countries where
they are prohibited by radio frequency regulations.
3.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor
The high-resolution 3.5-inch QHD color LCD
monitor displays audio meters, menus, disc and
battery capacity indications, and thumbnails of
clips stored on disc.
Inherits unique features of XDCAM series
The unit inherits the workflow features of the
XDCAM series, including thumbnail display and
metadata management, and improves them by
introducing an improved man-machine interface.
Metadata includes new user-settable clip flags
(OK/NG/KEEP) in addition to the existing Rec
Start essence marks. The new metadata types
enable more efficient workflows when clips
recorded on this unit are edited on nonlinear
editing systems.
Software downloads
When the unit is used with a PC connection,
download device drivers, plug-ins, and
application software, where applicable, from the
Sony Professional products web site.
