Assignable Switch
The BVP-E30 Series has a dedicated
'assignable switch' available for func-
tions frequently used in the field.
Located near the filter wheel dial, this
switch allows functions such as 5600K
On/Off, 4:3/16:9 mode selection
(BVP-E30WSP only), and ATW On/Off
to be assigned as required. Adding
further operational convenience, the
return viewfinder and intercom buttons
located on the camera handle can be
assigned to the servo zoom in/out
function*. Assignment of all of the
above functions is implemented via the
menu system.
* Only lenses with a digital interface support
this function.

Ergonomic Handle
A newly designed carrying handle offers
improved operator comfort and ensures
optimum balance of the camera. The
handle is made of light but highly durable
die-cast material and includes a non-slip
leather finish. In addition, the sophisticated
design allows easy operation when the
camera is docked with a camera adaptor,
dockable VTR, and even with a studio-type
lens and large viewfinder.

Auto Tracing White Balance
(ATW)
The BVP-E30 Series features a convenient
Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)
function, which automatically adjusts white
balance as lighting conditions change.
ATW is useful when shooting in rapidly
changing lighting conditions, such as
when moving from indoor to outdoor
locations.

File Operation Using
Memory Stick™ Media
Card
The BVP-E30 Series incorporates
the Sony Memory Stick system for
the storage and recall of setup
parameters. This is an effective,
easy-to-use system for storing
and recalling camera parameters for
individual scenes or the individual
preferences of a camera operator,
including the settings of assignable
switches.

Electronic and Optical
CC Filter
The BVP-E30 Series cameras come
equipped with electronic Colour Correc-
tion, which replaces the need for optical
Colour Correction (CC) filters. So in the
case of the BVP-30P, all the filters in the fil-
ter wheel can be Neutral Density (ND)
types, providing the operator with greater
flexibility in depth of field and exposure
control. The BVP-E30WSP camera has
dual filter wheels with both ND and CC
filters, which gives operators the choice
of correcting colour temperature optically
or electronically, according to their needs.
The filter of the BVP-E30WSP is servo-
controlled, while the BVP-E30P is
equipped with a manual filter wheel.
