XDCAM XAVC HD422 hand-held camcorderFeatures | Benefits: |
---|---|
1.0" type Exmor R CMOS sensor for a wide range of shooting conditions | The PXW-X70 incorporates a 1.0" type Exmor R CMOS sensor to achieve high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range. The sensor has 14.2 million effective pixels enhancing shooting under severe lighting conditions and providing more freedom of creative expression. |
High sensitivity and high resolution | Thanks to the 1.0" type Exmor R CMOS sensor, the PXW-X70 has high sensitivity 1.67 stops brighter than a 1/2.88" type sensor. The camcorder also has higher resolution than any other camcorder in its price range. The 1.0" type sensor is brighter and offers more background defocus with a shallow depth of field than 1/3" type or 1/4.7" type sensors. |
Compact body | The palm-sized PXW-X70 is ergonomically designed to provide a lightweight and easy-to-use experience. |
ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens with lens ring | The PXW-X70 is supplied with a fixed 29 mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens. Ideal for capturing grand landscapes, it also provides up to 12x optical zoom. It also has one lens ring which enables smooth, natural adjustment of focusing or zooming, depending on which mode is selected. |
Clear Image Zoom | The 12x optical zoom can be doubled to 24x with Clear Image Zoom, maintaining full resolution using Super Resolution Technology. In addition, the Digital Extender can double this range again, up to 48x zoom. Super Resolution Technology is a Sony original intelligent interpolation which analyzes the input image and increases the resolution of the image. |
Manual controls | The manual dial and buttons on the side of the body allow swift and easy adjustment of IRIS (aperture), GAIN/ISO and shutter speed. |
ND filter control mechanism | The PXW-X70 is equipped with multipule ND Filter selections, allowing you to choose four conventional mechanical ND filter positions from 1/4ND, 1/16 to 1/64ND. |
Wi-Fi/NFC (Near Field Communication) with Content Browser Mobile, and Video/Audio Streaming for future upgrade | The PXW-X70 can be remotely controlled from a
smartphone or tablet computer (iOS 4.3 through 7.0 or Android 2.3
through 4.3) via a Wi-Fi connection, and recorded video files can be
transferred from camcorder to smartphone in MP4 format.* In addition to
file transfer, streaming via 4G/LTE is available by firmware version
2.0 or later. One-touch authentication is also possible with smartphones
that offer NFC connectivity. The required Content Browser Mobile mobile
smartphone application can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or
App Store.
* Wi-Fi operation is not be guaranteed with all smartphones and tablet computers. |
Multi-format recording and 4K ready | The PXW-X70 records XAVC Long GOP 422 10-bit 1920x1080 60p/50p/60i/50i/30p/25p/24p at 50 Mbps and 35 Mbps, 1920x1080 60i/50i at 25 Mbps, as well as 1280x720 60p/50p at 50 Mbps. It is also possible to record AVCHD 420 8-bit at 1920x 1080 and 1280x720 and DV. The PXW-X70 is also 4K ready and can handle 4K recordings with paid option upgrade the CBKZ-X70FX. |
Dual media slots for simultaneous/relay recording, and independent record control | The PXW-X70 is equipped with two memory card
slots. The camcorder is compatible with Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark 2),
Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and Memory Stick XC-HG Duo media*, as well as
SDXC* and SDHC cards. Two media slots can record in either simultaneous
or relay mode. Simultaneous mode permits simultaneous recording to two
memory cards, while relay mode automatically switches recording from the
first to the second memory card when the first is full. The user can
set up the two Start/Stop buttons on the PXW-X70, one on the grip and
one on the camcorder body, to independently start and stop recording on
different memory cards while recording in simultaneous mode.
* XAVC can be recorded on either SDXC or Memory Stick XC cards due to high bit rate. |
Slow & Quick Motion | Smooth slow or quick motion with full HD quality is available without any extra processing. 2.5x slow motion can be easily achieved by setting the recording format to 24p and the capturing frame rate to 60 fps. The frame rate can also be set to 1 fps for 60x quick motion. In order to go into the S&Q Motion mode, the camera needs to be in XAVC & AVCHD mode (Not DV mode) and Manual mode. |
Picture Profile | You can fine-tune the look of movies before shooting by adjusting gradation (black level, gamma and black gamma), adjustment (mode, intensity, tone and depth), basic (gamma and mode) and more. Adjusted parameters can be saved along with other settings as a profile, and up to seven profiles can be stored for later recall. |
99 Camera Profiles | It is possible to save up to 99 camera settings under different profile numbers. User can copy the settings from one PXW-X70 to another PXW-X70 so that user can shoot with multiple cameras in the same settings (only works with same model camcorders). Also, users can save camera settings for each scene, so that it is possible to recall proper settings for the scene immediately.. |
Multi Interface Shoe (MI Shoe) for flexible connection | The MI Shoe* on top of the PXW-X70 camera
body has several possibilities to be used to attach the supplied handle,
which will allow Rec Start/Stop, Zoom & Audio Control. Using the MI
Shoe connection and the optional adapter SMAD-P3, the audio signal from
a UWP-D11 or UWP-D12 wireless microphone package can be input from the
wireless microphone receiver to the PXW-X70 without an XLR cable. The
power can be supplied from the PXW-X70 to the receiver and a battery is
not required for the receiver operation.
* It is not recommended to use the HVL-LBPC light with the MI Shoe as the battery requirement is too high. When the supplied handle is attached to the MI Shoe, it is not possible to use the MI Shoe to control the UWP-D receiver. |
Viewfinder includes amazing OLED technology | This 0.39” type OLED viewfinder offers superb OLED brightness, contrast and response. The high resolution (1,440K dot) of the viewfinder allows better precision of manual focus operations and eliminates any color-breaking phenomenon. |
Wide choice of connections | The camcorder offers numerous connections to
suit the broadcast workflow, including 3G HD-SDI, standard size HDMI
connector, USB and composite output. Both TC and Rec Trigger signal can
be sent through SDI and HDMI to link an external recording device.
* SDI / HDMI / Composite can not be used at the same time. |
