Superb Picture Quality
Incorporating three 1/2-inch type 1.5-mega
pixel HD CCDs, the HDC-X300/X310 offers
outstanding-quality images with a low
smear level of -120 dB and a high signal-
to-noise ratio of 52 dB.
Progressive Mode
Incorporating Sony’s innovative Advanced
Frame Accumulation (AFA) technology, the
HDC-X300/X310 can output progressive HD
signals (25PsF/29.97PsF), 2-3 pull down-
converted signal from 23.976PsF (59.94i)
in addition to interlaced HD signals
(50i/59.94i). Interlace and progressive
modes can be easily selected from the
camera setup menu.

Compact and Lightweight Design
The HDC-X300/X310 is designed to be
compact and lightweight, making it ideal for
capturing HD-quality images at locations
and from angles where bulky production HD
cameras cannot be installed. This compact
camera weighs only 1.2 kg (2 lb 10 oz)*,
allowing easy installation in space-
constrained and awkward areas such as on
a crane head or helicopter. The supplied
tally unit can be easily detached from the
camera body, minimising the camera size to
be fitted in, for example, a pan/tilt head or
an underwater housing.

Low-Light Shooting
The HDC-X300/X310 offers two convenient
functions for capturing clear images in low-
light environments – a Slow Shutter mode
and a Gain function – which can be used
separately or together. The Slow Shutter
mode allows the charge accumulation period
of the CCD (typically 1/60 or 1/50 second)
to be extended up to approximately two
seconds (64 frames). The Gain function
allows the camera gain to be boosted to +48
dB. When these functions are used together,
the camera offers a stunning minimum illumi-
nation of 0.003 lx.
Auto-Focus Function*
While maintaining compatibility with inter-
changeable manual-focus lenses, the
HDC-X300/X310 comes packaged with
a convenient auto-focus lens. Two auto-
focus modes are available and can be
selected on the supplied lens. One-push
auto-focus readjusts the focus each time
the button is pressed, while auto-tracing
focus automatically tracks the focus in a
dynamic manner.
* Auto-focus function is only available when using the focus
servo lens VCL-719BXS included in the HDC-X300K/X310K
package.
