Ultra Wide-angle 26.0mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens and Exmor R™ CMOS Image Sensor
The HXR-NX30U comes with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that
minimizes unwanted reflections for faithful color reproduction. It also
provides high contrast and high image quality with exceptional
resolution from 26.0mm wide angle to 260mm telephoto (35mm
equivalent). Thanks to the 6-blade iris diaphragm, you can enjoy
exceptionally realistic representations of natural lighting. And when
shooting dark scenes, the back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor
provides high sensitivity and low noise that are hard to believe come
from such a compact unit. What’s more, using a 1/2.88-inch type
sensor with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is ideal for wide-angle shooting.
This lets you record images with even higher definition.
Balanced Optical SteadyShot
The innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot™
image stabilization system virtually eliminates the
influence of camera shake by enclosing the entire optical block, from
the lens to the image sensor, in a "floating" space. Combined with
electronic image stabilization that compensates for rotation around
the optical axis, this new system provides powerful image stabilization
even when shooting while zooming, which was previously difficult to
achieve. So now you can record stable images with minimal blur.

XLR Adaptor with Selectable Phantom Power and ECM-XM1 Shotgun
Microphone Enabling High-Quality Linear PCM Recording
The detachable handle has an ergonomic design that is comfortable and compact. Two
balanced XLR audio inputs are built-in with phantom power and attenuation options that
professional users require for clean sound quality. Default audio settings for XLR recording
are highlighted in green for easy reference in the field in order to reduce operator error
under difficult lighting conditions.
The ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone mounted on top of the handle provides audio
recording performance similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG style cameras.
The HXR-NX30U is also ready to record high-quality 48kHz/16 bit Linear PCM audio.
FIXED SHOT mode
To optimize the effect of Balanced Optical SteadyShot™, the HXR-NX30U features a FIXED SHOT mode. Press a button and this
expands the movable range of the optical block to keep you locked on your subject. This is particularly convenient when you
want to maintain the same shooting angle for an extended period.
