A multi-purpose professional camcorder offering exceptional image quality and three Full HD sensors ready to maximise your creative potential

The HXR-NX3/1 is a professional camcorder that features three 1/2.8-inch Exmor™ CMOS sensors for outstanding image quality. Dual media slots allow simultaneous or relay recording in AVCHD 2.0 format. There are two models available: one records at a default 1080/50P (PAL Model) and the other at 1080/60P (NTSC Model). There is also a Slow & Quick Motion feature that achieves smooth 2x slow motion when recording at 25p or 50x quick motion when 1 frame per second is recorded in 50p (PAL Model) or 30p or 60x quick motion when 1 frame per second is recorded in 60p (NTSC Model). In addition to the 20x optical zoom, Clear Image Zoom with Super Resolution Technology provides an extended 40x zoom range with excellent clarity and detail and no effective pixel loss. A built-in LED light, WiFi/NFC remote control capability, and a larger 3.5 inch LCD panel for enhanced viewing add to the versatility of this multi-purpose camcorder, putting the finishing touches on an advanced system that offers unprecedented video recording freedom.

Original Full HD Sony sensor for impressive imagery
The 1920x1080 full HD 3x Exmor CMOS sensors system provides a 2.07 million effective pixel count in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Red, blue, and green light are independently and accurately captured by separate image sensors, contributing to high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range that translate to extraordinarily natural colour reproduction.

High performance Sony G lens with 40x zoom range.
Provides 28.8mm (35mm full-frame format equivalent) angle of view at the wide end. 20x optical zoom plus Clear Image Zoom provides total 40x zoom range, rivalling that of optical zoom. Clear Image Zoom offers effectively no quality loss and no pixel loss, with 2M full resolution kept using Super Resolution Technology.

Two models offering AVCHD 2.0 1080/50p or 1080/60p recordings
Two models recording in AVCHD 2.0 (50p) format with a high 50 fps frame rate (PAL Model) or AVCHD 2.0 (60p) format at 60 fps (NTSC Model). The camcorder can also record in DV standard definition at 50i (PAL Model) or 60i (NTSC Model).

Slow and quick motion options at Full HD
2x slow motion can be easily achieved by setting the recording format to 25p and the frame rate to 50 fps (Model E32) or to 30p and the frame rate to 60 fps (Model E23). If you’d rather speed up the action the frame rate can be set to 1 fps for 50x or 60x quick motion.

Battery pack included
The HXR-NX3/1 bundle comes with the NP-F770 InfroLITHIUM rechargeable battery pack, AC-VL1 battery charger and DK-415 DC power cable, making it easier to power the camera with or without fully-charged batteries.
