HDRFX1000

The HDR-FX1000 high definition MiniDV Handycam camcorder is equipped with 24p progressive scan mode that allows film-like motion and CinemaTone Gamma and CinemaTone Color creates amazing film-like pictures. It also features three 1/3-inch ClearVid CMOS image sensors with Exmor derived technology which lets you capture sharp, detailed images even in lower-light situations.

The HDR-FX1000 includes a 29.5mm wide-angle to 590mm telephoto G-lens with 20X optical zoom. The lens brings the action closer and allows for wider angle shooting. Take control of light in extreme settings with three built-in neutral density filters and three manual rings for adjusting zoom, focus and iris. The camcorder is ideal for both the video enthusiast and professional.

• 2:3 pull-down to 60i for editing on most HDV software: The 24p progressive scan signals are recorded to tape as 60i through means of 2:3 pull-down. This 2:3 sequence allows HDV material to be reverted to its original 24p form, as captured by the camera, using a compatible nonlinear editor2. Similarly, a 30p signal is recorded as a 60i signal by dividing each frame into two fields. This approach allows 24p and 30p progressive footage to be played back or fed to an editing suite seamlessly.
