Features of this unit
The large-sized image sensor
The camcorder is equipped with an APS-C-
sized (23.5 mm × 15.6 mm) CMOS image
sensor.
Its sensor area is about 20 times as large as
the 1/3-inch image sensor that is often used
in existing video cameras.
The larger the image sensor, the shallower
the depth of field. This allows you to reduce
the focus on the background in order to
make the subject stand out.
Interchangeable lens system
The camcorder employs the E-mount
system for interchangeable lenses.
The E-mount lens supplied with the NEX-
VG30H/VG30EH, which has an optical
camera-shake compensation mechanism
(Active mode), is a high-magnification
power zoom lens that can zoom up to 11
times.
Using a Mount Adaptor (sold separately)
enables you to use α lenses (A-mount
lenses) (sold separately) as well.
You can choose the right lens for the
recording conditions or subjects. A wide
variety of characteristic lenses will widen
visual expression.
Manual operability
The camcorder allows you to adjust
aperture, shutter speed, gain, white balance,
etc., during movie recording.
The MANUAL dial and dedicated
buttons are provided to enable you to use
the camcorder in your own way, more
comfortably.
High-performance microphone
The camcorder adopts an array microphone
system that has a four-capsule structure.
The camcorder creates the correct sound
localization by processing the signal from
the microphone, achieves both realistic
sensation and front localization, and
records low-noise and clear sound. The
high-performance microphone will make
high-definition movies more appealing.
Multi interface shoe
An XLR Box adaptor (sold separately) and
a flash (sold separately) compatible with the
multi interface shoe can be used.
