Palm-sized camcorder with outstanding picture
quality
The HXR-NX30 is an ultra-compact, palm-sized, professional NXCAM
camcorder compatible with the latest full HD formats including
1080/50p video. It features a 26.0mm ultra wide-angle lens with 10x
optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 26-260mm) and a back-illuminated
1/2.88-inch type Exmor R CMOS sensor for outstanding
versatility.
Like other NXCAM camcorders, it comes with the features
professional users demand, including flexible timecode/user bit
settings and XLR audio inputs for high reliability and high sound
quality.
Advanced
image stabilisation
One of the HXR-NX30E's biggest advantages is the Balanced Optical
SteadyShot™ image stabilization system. This allows the
entire optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, to "float"
and absorb movement from the body. The result is extremely
effective image stabilization even when zooming in, something
previously difficult to achieve, providing handheld shooting with a
new level of image stability.
Built-in projector to view rushes
A built-in projector can project images up to 100 inches wide (when
projecting 5m from a screen), enabling production crew to easily
check the rushes at the end of the shoot.

• Ultimate mobile camcorder for the professional
videographers |
Sony's HXR-NX30 is an ultra-compact, palm-size,
professional NXCAM camcorder compatible with the latest FULL HD
formats including 1080/50p video. It features a 26.0mm ultra
wide-angle lens with 10x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 26-260mm),
and a backilluminated Exmor R™ CMOS sensor for outstanding
versatility. Like other NXCAM camcorders, it comes with the
features professional users demand, including flexible
timecode/user bit settings and XLR audio inputs for high
reliability and high sound quality. One of the HXR-NX30P's biggest
advantages is the newly developed Balanced Optical
SteadyShot™ image stabilization system. This allows the
entire optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, to "float"
and absorb movement from the body. The result is extremely
effective image stabilization even when zooming in, something
previously difficult to achieve, ensuring handheld shooting with a
new level of image stability. It is an ideal feature if you are out
in the field alone and handheld operation is required whilewalking
or using the zoom. Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of
professional situations, the lightweight, compact and affordable
HXR NX30U is a powerful tool for gathering footage alone and as a
B-camera during multi-camera shoots.

• Ultra Wide-angle 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar
T* Lens and Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor |
The HXRNX30P comes with a Carl Zeiss
Vario-Sonnar T* lens that suppresses unwanted reflections to assure
faithful color 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 exceptionally realistic expression of
natural light. And even when shooting dark scenes, the
back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor provides high sensitivity and
low noise that are hard to believe fromsuch 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™ 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.
• FIXED SHOT
mode To optimize the effect of Balanced Optical
SteadyShot™, the HXR-NX30P 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.

• AVCHD 2.0 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording with 24.1
Mega (6544 x 3680) pixels*1 still image capture*2
You can shoot at 60fps progressive (1080/60p) with 1920x1080 Full
HD resolution. And using a 24p timeline setting with AVCHD 2.0
compatible NLE software enables conversion to smooth slow-motion
images up to 2.5x slower. You can also select 1280x720 60p and a
wide range of other formats. *1: Realized using the “By Pixel
Super Resolution” technology. *2: Dual Rec is not active
while recording mode is set to FX or PS.
• Timecode/User Bit Recording and HDMI
Embedded Timecode Output
The HXRNX30 features the important professional
camcorder functions of timecode and user bit settings. Like other
NXCAM camcorders, the HXR-NX30P’s timecodes can be centrally
reset using the supplied infrared remote control to allow 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.

• 96GB embedded Flash Memory and Memory Stick / SD
Multi Card Slot
The built-in 96GB embedded Flash memory can record and store up to
40 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 Adaptor with Selectable Phantom
Power and ECM-XM1 Shotgun Microphone Enabling High-Quality Linear
PCM Recording
|
The detachable handle has an ergonomic design
that is comfortable and compact. 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 handle provides audio recording performance
similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG style cameras. The HXR NX30U
is also ready to record high-quality 48kHz/16 bit Linear PCM
audio.
|
|
• Built-in Light
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
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.

• Built-in USB cable for easy file
transfer/charge
The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection
to your computer for charging or file transfer without having to
remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand
strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your
camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two
minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording
time
• Geotagging with built-in GPS
receiver
A built-in GPS receiver makes the HXR-NX30P an ideal choice for
professional videographers. The receiver gives you the ability to
“tag” your shooting locations as a future reference if
you need to return to the same location or to create a log of areas
covered when surveying remote locations. Additionally, the receiver
automatically adjusts your camcorder’s clock to the proper
time zone when international travel is part of your assignment.
Your locations can be tracked on Google Maps™ and all GPS
data can be extracted with a CMU is supplied PC
software.
