Key Features
1” Exmor R
®
CMOS sensor w/ Direct Pixel Read Out
The world’s first 1.0” CMOS sensor featuring an Exmor R
®
CMOS image sensor technology. With
this back-illuminated technology, the sensor doubles light sensitivity and combines with Sony’s
Column A/D Conversion to reduce noise by half — a great help when photographing in dimly lit
environments. Markedly reduced noise is evident even when high-sensitivity settings are used for
capturing night landscapes or indoor scenes.
14MP resolution video and 20MP still image capture
Create cinematic video with 14MP resolution sensor (for video) and high quality 20MP still images.
Versatile shooting w/ XAVC-S, AVCHD and MP4 codecs
The HDR-CX900 records HD movies in the XAVC-S format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video
compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP42 wrapper. The
highly compressed files allow extensive record times. The camcorder also records in AVCHD,
ideal for quality video for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning. Additionally, the camcorder can shoot
MP4 HD video, which is ideal for sharing over the internet at up to 28Mbps. Having the ability to
switch between all three of three formats makes this camcorder an ideal tool that is versatile for
creating content to live in a number of different environments.

®
Vario-Sonnar T* lens that
has cleared a series of tough performance tests. Not only is this 29mm wide-angle lens ideal for
capturing grand landscapes, but it covers wide-ranging image expression thanks to maximum
12x optical zoom and 24x Clear Image zoom
Multi-interface Accessory Shoe for system accessories
Users can expand photographic and movie shooting possibilities by attaching optional

Terminal.
BIONZ
®
X Processor enables high Speed rec 120fps
The new BIONZ
®
X image processor enables the camcorder to create more naturally vivid and
lifelike image quality, and higher resolution imagery.
Notable features of BIONZ X technology include:
1. Detail reproduction technology optimally filters edges and textures differently depending on
the scene.
2. Area specific noise reduction swiftly and efficiently analyzes the subject and reduces noise.
This new image processing technology achieves an even better balance of exceptional detail
and advanced noise control.
Its ability to record at 120p enables slow-motion playback at one-fifth the speed in a 24p
environment in post-processing.
Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization w/ Active Mode
HDR-CX900/B
HD Camcorder with 1" sensor
Welcome to broadcast-quality HD video from the palm
of your hand. The 1” image sensor is approximately 8x
larger than that of typical camcorders for capturing
defocused backgrounds and true cinematic depth.
It’s flexible, too. Record your vision in XAVCS (up to
50mpbs), AVCHD or MP4 codecs with impressive clarity
and color accuracy. There’s nothing else like it in the
industry.
