camcorder delivers HD-broadcast-
quality moving images. with 24p Progressive Scan Mode, the HDR-FX1000’s
high-quality lens lets you capture vibrant images with incredible details.
cinematone Gamma
™
and cinematone color technologies provide the
color and gamma range to give your footage an even more fi lm-like feel.
Film-Like Progressive Scan
In addition to 1080/60i recording, the
HDR-FX1000 offers 1080/24p and 1080/30p
Progressive Scan modes for capturing videos
with fi lm-like results. Signals scanned at 24p/30p
are converted to 60i, then recorded onto
MiniDV tape. This allows footage to be played
and edited using existing HDV equipment.
cinematone Gamma
and cinematone color
Cinematone Gamma technology deepens
colors by allowing users to specify a gamma
curve with contrast characteristics similar to
those of fi lm. Cinematone Color technology
recreates fi lm-like color tones.
3x 1/3” clearVid

cMOS Sensors
w/Exmor
™
Technology
The HDR-FX1000 features three 1/3” ClearVid
CMOS Sensors, each having 1,120k total
pixels. The 3 independent CMOS sensors
each handle one of the color elements — red,
green, blue — for improved color reproduction.
Dark scenes can be captured with low noise
thanks to Exmor-derived technology that
features a new column A/D converter and
dual noise reduction.
Minus Auto Gain control
When shooting in overly bright conditions, this
feature enables the selection of gain settings
in the negative range for satisfying results
with minimal noise.
Enhanced Imaging Processor
(EIP) Technology
To record HD videos with stunningly beautiful
colors, the HDR-FX1000 uses an EIP processor
to process the vast amounts of pixel data
coming from its 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensors.
Working together, the EIP and 3 ClearVid
CMOS Sensor imaging system provide
extremely high image quality with smooth
gradations and detailed image reproduction.
G Lens: 29.5mm wide-Angle
to 590mm (20x) Telephoto
Equipped with a 29.5mm wide-angle G Lens
made from an advanced 10 group, 15 element
lens including Extra-low Dispersion glass.
This reduces chromatic aberration caused
by light refraction and produces video with
extremely low color fringing. The 20x optical
zoom (29.5mm-590mm: 35mm conversion) lets
you zoom in on faraway subjects with no loss
in image quality.
Superior Low-Light Shooting
capabilities
Lets you shoot in light as low as 1.5 lux (at 1/30
fi xed shutter speed with auto iris and auto
gain). This allows you to capture sharp detail
and brilliant colors even in less-than-perfect
conditions where professional lighting cannot
be used.
