HDV Recording Format
The HDR-FX7 camcorder is the world’s first HDV1080i
consumer level camcorder and player to include 3 CMOS
Sensors. Now you can record all your memories in true
high-definition video. |
Switchable HDV/DV Format
Recording
The HDR-FX7 is capable of recording and playing back
both High Definition and Standard Definition video
recorded on standard MiniDV cassettes. |
Real-time HD Codec Engine
A Sony developed Real Time MPEG Encode/Decode system
with reduced energy consumption and compact size to fit
inside a personal camcorder. This provides efficient
MPEG2 compression, and recording and playback of clear
HD images at the same bit rate of the DV format, so that
High Definition video can be recorded on the same
cassettes as are used for MiniDV recording.

20X Optical Carl Zeiss®
Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens
From the authority in lens technology, the Carl Zeiss®
Vario-Sonnar® T lens provides a high-quality 20x optical
zoom which maintains image clarity and color while
reducing glare and flare. |
Digital Extender
The Digital Extender mode is available at all zoom
points and will digitally enhance the zoom up to 1.5
times the current position. |
3.5" Wide (16:9) Hybrid Clear
Photo™ LCD plus Display (211K Pixels)1
Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved
resolution. The 211K pixel LCD display makes images
sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring
recording. The Hybrid LCD Screen provides accurate
viewing in sunlight or bright light, virtually
eliminating the "washout" common with traditional LCD
Screens. |
Super SteadyShot® Optical
Stabilization System
The HDR-FX7 features an advanced form of Sony’s
SteadyShot Image Stabilization system that controls an
even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies.
This optical stabilization system achieves an even
higher level of smoothness without degradation of video
like some digital stabilization systems. |
Manual Zoom and Manual Focus Ring
Dual independent zoom and focus rings provide precise
and detailed control over the amount of zoom and the
overall focus of the image with just a turn of the
rings. Fast, intuitive framing when zooming, and finely
detailed focusing is easy with the natural "feel" of the
rings. |
Exposure/Iris Control
Easily adjust the amount of light entering the lens by
adjusting exposure brightness in accordance with the
iris and gain. The Iris control allows the volume of
light to be adjusted (shutter speed and gain are
adjustable). |
Expanded Focus Indicator
The camera‘s LCD image is magnified, temporarily, up to
4X its original size without any loss of distortion.
This allows the user more finite control while focusing
the camera for greater detail and clarity. |
Picture Profile
This feature allows the user to set manual adjustments
for a scene (color, sharpness, white balance, etc) into
any one of six presets, so they can be called up at just
the touch of a button. Useful when shooting under the
same conditions repeatedly—you don’t have to reset the
options each time. Settings for various shooting
conditions are offered as defaults. |
Assignable Buttons
Six buttons on the exterior of the camcorder are
user-assignable so that they can be set to the options
most commonly utilized, for ease of recording.
|
i.LINK®2
HDV/DV Interface (IEEE1394)
A high speed bi-directional digital video/audio
communication between two compatible devices equipped
with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders,
digital VCRs, and PCs. |
Shot Transition
Allows for a smooth, automatic scene transition.
Settings for focus, zoom, iris, gain, shutter, and white
balance can be set to the Assignable Buttons 1, 2 and 3
which will create a smooth transition and will take
place according to the set time and transition. This
function enables the focus to gradually shift from the
front of the screen to a deeper part of the screen. Thus
the iris enables a smooth change of depth of field. |
