Image Stabilization

• The Balanced Optical SteadyShot system, or B.O.S.S., encloses the optical block, from the lens to the image sensor, in a "Floating Space" to eliminate vibrations from the camera body that are common with hand held operation of light weight cameras. Combined with an electronic image stabilization system the HXR-NX30P provides for stable images with minimal blur. The image stabilizer system has 2 different levels of stabilization:Optical SteadyShot Active Mode, and Optical SteadyShot Fixed Mode which provides a greater range of movement of the optical block than in Active Mode.

Camera Controls and Functions

• The camera comes with manual or electronic control of iris, focus, and zoom. A zoom rocker is included on the top of the camera, and remote control of the camera is through a built-in LANC port. The HXR-NX30P has manually selectable shutter speeds, as well as Zebra Bars and Peaking functions used for exposure and focus aid.

• The camcorder can also shoot and record 1080/50p - 50 progressive frames per second. This setting provides images which are 2x slower than normal without the need to process 50i or 25p footage into slow motion.

Built-In Light for Video, NightShot or Flash for Stills

• The built-in LED camera light functions as a flash when shooting still images, or as a video light when in video mode. It also emits infra red when the camera is in Sony's NightShot mode for shooting in low light conditions or complete darkness. Sony recommends removing any wide angle adapter and the lens step down ring when using the NightShot feature.
