1/2.9-inch ClearVid CMOS SensorTM
The next generation of Sony imaging sensor, the ClearVid CMOS Sensor is quite unique and different from current CMOS technology.
The
ClearVid CMOS Sensor uses a unique pixel layout rotated 45 degrees to
provide high resolution and high sensitivity. This pixel layout
technology is also used in higher end professional camcorders.
The
ClearVid CMOS Sensor, coupled with an Enhanced Imaging ProcessorTM
(EIP), generates stunning images. Moreover, thanks to the CMOS
technology, bright objects do not cause vertical smear.
Optical 10x zoom with Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonner T* lens
The
HVR-HD1000E camcorder can adapt to a wide range of shooting situations
thanks to a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonner T* lens with 10x optical zoom, as
featured on higher end professional HDV camcorders. The T* lens coating
suppresses unwanted reflections and faithfully reproduces colours for
professional-looking results.
Super SteadyShotTM (Optical) Image Stabilizer
An
active optical lens system avoids any deterioration in image quality.
The lens itself shifts vertically and horizontally to compensate for
the polarized light axis in real time.
Wide Clear Photo LCD plusTM Monitor on Viewfinder
A
large, freely rotating 2.7-inch type LCD screen is located on the top
of the viewfinder unit to provide easy viewing when the HVR-HD1000E
camcorder is in a low-level position or on a tripod. This also makes it
easy for a director or client to see what the camera operator is
shooting. The 211,200 dot widescreen Clear Photo LCD plus device
provides proper brightness and a high level of colour reproduction.
Camera Control Ring
A
special camera control ring is located on the lens unit of the
HVR-HD1000E camcorder. Any one of the following functions can be
assigned to the ring for easy adjustment:
* Focus (default)
* Zoom
* Brightness
* Shutter
* Video: 1/4~1/10000 sec
* Photo: 1/4~1/500 sec.
* AE Shift
* WB Shift
Ergonomically Designed Handle
The
ergonomically designed handle contains a convenient record button and
zoom control, essential for low position shooting. There are also two
cold shoes on the front and rear of the handle where you can attach
accessories like the HVL-LBP Battery Video Light and HVR-DR60 Hard Disk
Recording Unit.
Long Operating Time With infoLITHIUMTM L Series Battery
The
HVR-HD1000E camcorder uses standard infoLITHIUM L series batteries,
like the DSR-PD170P, HVR-Z1E, and HVR-V1E. With the NP-F970, a maximum
operating time of approximately 10 hours can be achieved thanks to the
power management system and low power consumption of the ClearVid CMOS
Sensor.
Smooth Slow Record
The
Smooth Slow Record function enables slow-motion playback by capturing
images at four times faster than the normal field rate (200 fields/s).
In this mode, quad-speed images are captured for three seconds, stored
in the built-in buffer memory, and then recorded to tape (in either HDV
or DV format) as slow-motion pictures lasting 12 seconds.*
*
When using this function, the resolution of the camera image is
decreased. Sound can not be recorded while shooting in this mode.
Super NightShotTM
The
Super NightShot function uses a built-in infrared light emitter that
allows you to record an object in zero lux light levels. It also
enables night-time monitoring and surveillance.
Photo Mode
In Photo mode you can take high quality 6.1-megapixel, 2848 x 2136-quality, 4:3-aspect images.
Dual Record Stills & Video
You can take 4.6-megapixel (16:9-aspect) photos while you are shooting HDV video simply by pressing the photo button.
Capturing stills from recorded video
In
case you missed the perfect timing for your still photo while
videotaping, you can capture and save still frames from recorded video
by simply pressing the photo button of the HVR-HD1000E camcorder during
playback. HDV footage will give you a 1.2-megapixel, 1440 x 810 pixel
still image of that magic moment.
