Key Features
Seamless zoom from 0.8x to as high as 25x binocular magnification
Simple zoom lever operation allows smooth, seamless zooming from 0.8x to a maximum of 25x magnification. Unlike
conventional binoculars that have a single magnification, Subject location and framing is much easier than with
conventional binoculars.
High resolution, high contrast OLED finder
DEV-50V/B features an XGA OLED “Tru-Finder” electronic viewfinders that deliver outstanding resolution and high contrast.
Since independent images are provided for the left and right eyes delivering a true stereosopic view, high-quality 3D
viewing is achieved without crosstalk or image degradation. The LCD panels used in the DEV-5 and DEV-3 viewfinders
were illuminated by an RGB light source, causing spurious reflections that could reduce contrast when blacks were being
displayed. The OLED Tru-Finder panels used in the new models produce their own light, so there are no residual reflections
to reduce contrast. Contrast is approximately 33 times greater than in the preceding models. Moreover, while the LCD
panels used in the DEV-5/DEV-3 were WVGA with 1.23 million total dots, the OLED devices in the current models are high-
resolution XGA with 2.36 million dots so that even the smallest details are clearly defined.
Compact, lightweight ruggedized dustproof/rainproof body design for outdoor use
The DEV-50V/B is 30% smaller and lighter Sony’s first generation digital recording binoculars making them convenient to
tote on every trip. They are dust and moisture resistant so you can use them without having to worry about rain, spray, or
dust.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/Active mode minimizes blur
The DEV-50V/B Digital Recording Binoculars were engineered with Active image stabilization technology to drastically
minimize blur especially when zoomed in on a subject far away. The image remains crisp and stable even at high
magnifications that would make viewing difficult with other binoculars. It is easier to follow even fast-moving subjects and
keep them in the frame, and of course the same stability contributes to the clarity of general observation and recording
as well. In addition to optical image stabilization that adjusts lens position in the vertical and horizontal axes, BIONZ image
processing adds compensation in the roll axis. The net result is highly effective 3-axis image stabilization.
Quickly capture and follow the subject, with autofocus
Simultaneous zoom and autofocus capability is an important advantage of the Digital Recording Binoculars. With
conventional binoculars it is necessary to readjust focus whenever the magnification is changed. With the Digital
Recording Binoculars autofocus rapidly follows zoom operation, providing uninterrupted subject tracking capability that
can be a huge advantage for motor sports and other applications that involve fast-moving subjects.
Hyper Gain enhances low-light visibility
With conventional binoculars low light levels can make it extremely difficult to locate and recognize the subject. Hyper
Gain alleviates the problem by electronically increasing brightness in the viewfinder so the subject can be quickly located
and framed even in dim light conditions.
By Pixel Super Resolution for superior still image quality
Thanks to By Pixel Super Resolution technology the DEV-50V/B offers. By Pixel Super Resolution technology analyzes and
processes not only the pixels to be directly affected, but also the surrounding pixels as well, and then combines the
resultant data with that from a database that contains hundreds of variations to achieve optimum processing for each
individual pixel. The result is notably improved still image resolution.
Double Full HD and 3D movie recording
DEV-50V/B
Observe and capture your WOW moments with Sony DEV-50. Unlike any
optical binoculars, these weather-proof digital recording binoculars offer
autofocus for tracking of fast moving subjects, an expansive zoom range to
get even closer to the action and superior performance in low light with two
OLED XGA viewfinders.
