Bringing the HVR-Z5U – Emerging the new World

Standard Camcorder in HD Acquisition

Introducing a truly amazing new compact HDV ™ camcorder from Sony. The HVR-Z5U camcorder is designed

to enhance creativity and deliver the highest standard of optical and audio quality.

Sony’s newly designed “G Lens ™ ” is incorporated into the camcorder, boasting excellent resolution, color, and

contrast for breathtaking images that rival expensive interchangeable lenses.

This new compact camcorder boasts Sony’s 3 ClearVid ™ CMOS Sensor system, utilizing Exmor ™ technology, to

provide excellent low-light sensitivity and making it ideal when high performance in limited light conditions

is a requirement. The ergonomically designed body allows flexible shooting under any conditions, while

maintaining Sony’s worldwide reputation for quality and high performance.

The standard features of the HVR-Z5U include 1080/24p/30p* 1 HDV native progressive recording modes.

Sony’s new cutting-edge HYBRID recording system incorporates an optional HVR-DR60 or HVR-MRC1K Memory

Recording Unit, which allows simultaneous recording on tape and non-tape media for improved NLE workﬂ ow

efficiency. The HYBRID recording system is also capable of simultaneous HD and SD recording. Sony is

continuously developing and expanding its HDV lineup in response to professional user feedback.

HVR-Z5U Features

Advanced Camera Features:

✜

Sony’s Exclusive

High-performance "G Lens"

you can also fix the gain and shutter settings.

This function is ideal for varied shooting

environments that range from very dark to very

bright, allowing easy one-handed control using

single-ring operation. The ergonomic layout of the

zoom, focus, and iris control rings makes operation

of these three functions possible with just one

hand. Moreover, the built-in digital extender system

increases the zoom ratio to approximately 30x.

Sony’s Super SteadyShot ® system (optical) helps

you achieve a stable picture even when camera

handling is unsteady.

The HVR-Z5U also provides three built-in ND (Neutral

Density) filters and accommodates the addition of

an optional 0.8x

wide conversion

lens. These

features provide

enhanced

shooting flexibility

to suit your

production

requirements.

optical performance

of Sony’s “G Lens”.

This sophisticated lens

incorporates Sony’s

unique optical

technology and

unparalleled quality

control. Moreover, it’s

been optimized to

perfectly complement the camcorder’s advanced

image sensor and image-processing technology,

thus expanding your shooting possibilities. Express

yourself more fully with the utmost precision of

Sony’s “G Lens”.

Major “G Lens” Features on the HVR-Z5U

1. The 29.5mm wide-angle “G Lens” (equivalent to

35mm film) on the HVR-Z5U offers a field of view

that’s ideal for many shooting situations, ranging

from broad landscape shots to conditions where

sufficient distance from the subject is difficult

to obtain. Its 20x optical zoom capability also

enables shooting over a wide zooming range.

2. Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements

reduce chromatic aberrations caused by

differences in light refraction to minimize color

fringing. The advanced 10-group, 15-element

lens structure also includes compound aspheric

lenses for images that are crisp and clear even

when shooting movies at high zooming ratio.

3. Advanced optical lens technology makes the

most of Sony’s 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system

to realize sharp images with higher resolution

and less noise compared to the HVR-Z1U even

when shooting in very low light.

4. The six-blade iris diaphragm is nearly circular,

enabling the creation of extremely beautiful

background blur.

An Ideal Handheld Camcorder Design

Sony has responded to professional user feedback

to create the ideal handheld camcorder with

ergonomically designed body-weight balance and

a well-planned layout of buttons and connectors

to reduce stress on camera operator.

✜

Two Screw Holes for Secure Connection

To provide a more secure connection between the

camcorder and tripod plate or other accessories,

two screw holes have been incorporated into the

base plate of the camcorder.

✜

Natural-touch Lens Operation

Newly designed focus, zoom, and iris control

functions provide convenient lens operation. The

zoom function is variable and can be controlled

using the lens barrel ring, the lever at the lens grip,

or the lever on the camera handle. Additionally,

once you select the high-speed zoom mode, you

can zoom from wide to telephoto modes about

1.5x faster than with the HVR-V1U.

The lens barrel ring controls the iris, and a

simple menu adjustment allows you to change

the direction of rotation to open and close it.

Furthermore, you can control overall exposure by

changing the function of the iris ring. Exposure

control automatically adjusts the optimum iris, gain,

and shutter settings. Using exposure control mode,

Innovative Technologies:

Cutting-edge Imaging System for New Camcorder

1. 1/3 Inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS

Sensor System

2. Enhanced Functionality with the

Technology of Exmor

The 1/3 inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system

has 45-degree rotated pixels on each chip in order

to increase the signal density, while each pixel

maintains sufficient surface area. In combination

with the Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP), the

3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system achieves high

resolution, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and

excellent color reproduction.

The pixel shift interpolation technique has been

traditionally used in small 3CCD camcorders,

however, this normally requires the combination of

all three color element (RGB) signals to maximize

resolution. If an object lacks one or more color

elements, the resolution of the object may be

degraded. The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system is

different because it can always produce maximum

resolution, regardless of the balance between color

elements, thanks to its unique and sophisticated

interpolation technology.

The new HVR-Z5U boasts cutting-edge features

such as the Exmor technology which utilizes the full

potential of the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system.

Exmor technology features the column-parallel

A/D conversion technique and the dual noise-

cancelling method also used in Sony’s top-of-the-

line models. Multiple A/D (analog to digital)

converters on each pixel row convert analog

signals to digital as soon as they are generated,

unlike traditional technology that only has one A/D

converter on each chip. The Exmor technology

can help to eliminate the influence of external

noise that enters the signal chain during transfer to

the A/D converter, resulting in high-quality digital

signals with extremely low noise. This significantly

enhances shooting in low-light environments. By

adopting this groundbreaking technology, the new

1/3 inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system

enables the HVR-Z5U to achieve a low light

sensitivity of just 1.5 lux* 2 .
