Well-balanced Compact Body and
Low Power Consumption
Designed to be very compact and ergonomically
well balanced, the PMW-500 provides a high level of
mobility and comfort in various shooting situations.
The main body weighs only 7 lb 15 oz (3.4 kg) and its
power consumption is only 29 W.
Digital Extender
With optional CBK-HD02 boards, the Digital Extender
function*
1
of the PMW-500 enables images to be
digitally doubled in size. Unlike lens extenders, the
Digital Extender function performs this doubling in
size without any F-drop phenomenon (i.e., without
loss of image sensitivity)*
2
.
*1: This optional function is planned to be available at the end
of March 2011.
*2: The Digital Extender function does not operate in 1080p
mode, S&Q mode, or when working with XDCA-55 via CBK-HD02.
Focus Magnification
A magnified camera picture (x2) is available in the
viewfinder, simplifying precise focus adjustment.
ALAC
(Automatic Lens Aberration Compensation)
This feature decreases any chromatic aberration
caused by the lens*
1
. ALAC is activated only with
some third-party lenses that incorporate
compensation data.
*1: Please check with lens manufacturers for ALAC support.
Slow & Quick Motion Function
The PMW-500 offers a powerful Slow & Quick Motion
function that enables users to create elegant fast-
and slow-motion footage. The PMW-500 can
capture images at frame rates selectable from 1 fps
(frame per second) to 60 fps in 720p mode and from
1 fps to 30 fps in 1080p mode, in increments of 1
fps*
1
.
*1: With the PAL setting in UDF (MXF) mode, frame rates are
selectable up to 50 fps in 720p mode and up to 25 fps in 1080p
mode.
Slow Shutter
A maximum of 16 frames can be accumulated using
the Slow Shutter function.
HyperGamma
Four types of HyperGamma curve - inherited from
Sony’s CineAlta camcorders - are provided in
addition to six standard gammas.
Interval Recording Function
The Interval Recording function intermittently records
one frame at pre-determined intervals. This is
convenient for shooting over long periods of time,
and also when creating special effects with
extremely rapid motion.
Frame Recording Function
The Frame Recording function records images for
pre-determined frames every time the Record button
is pressed. This is particularly useful for clay
animation shooting.
Optical ND Filters and Electrical CC Filters
The PMW-500 camcorder comes equipped with
optical ND filters and electrical CC filters. With
electrical CC filters, users can easily select a color
temperature -3200K, 4300K, 5600K, or 6300K - by
rotation using a camcorder-assignable switch.
