Advanced Features for Professional Results

Newly Developed Hybrid LCD Monitor with a High
Resolution of more than 210,000 Pixels

The DSR-PD170 has a high-resolution color LCD monitor for viewing

the recorded picture, or checking the playback picture on location.

With its large screen, it is also helpful in setting menus or the audio

recording level, as well as monitoring the camera and audio status 

while mounted on a tripod.  The hybrid LCD monitor combines the

characteristics of both transmissive and reflective LCD panels.  The

transmissive LCD panel is suited for dark conditions such as in the

studio, while the reflective LCD panel provides clear viewing in bright

conditions such as under strong sunlight.

Simultaneous Operation of
LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

The LCD monitor and viewfinder

can be used simultaneously.  This

allows an operator to perform

focus adjustments on the subject

with the black and white LCD

viewfinder, while adjusting the

color balance with the LCD

monitor.

Large-sized Handle

The top height of the handle is about 10 mm higher than that of the

DSR-PD150/PD150P.  The handle design has also been enhanced for

a better and easier grip.  

On-handle Zoom Lever and 
Rec. Start/Stop Button

In order to facilitate zoom control and recording

operation during low-angle shooting, an

additional zoom lever and a rec. start/stop

button have been added to the carrying

handle.  Zoom speed can be selected

from H (faster), L (slower) or OFF via the

three-position slide switch located on

the side of the handle.

Long Operating Time

Combined with the optional NP-F960 InfoLITHIUM

battery pack, 

the DSR-PD170 can continuously operate in record mode for up to

eight hours.  By attaching the battery and connecting the camcorder 

to the supplied AD-L15 AC Adaptor, the camcorder will start charging

the battery.

Battery Life

Manual Functions

In order to provide the flexibility required in professional applications, the

DSR-PD170 allows a variety of its functions to be manually adjusted.
