OPERATIONAL VERSATILITY

Advanced Features for Professional Results
Large, 16:9 Widescreen
Color Viewfinder
The 0.44-inch type
color LCD viewfinder
displays high-resolution
color pictures of approx.
250,000 pixels in a
widescreen aspect ratio
of 16:9. Operators can
also select to display pictures in black and white.
The size of the eyepiece has been increased to
allow viewing of images even while wearing
glasses. The supplied large-size eye cap provides
superb light-excluding capability, and allows easy
focusing and comfortable use of the viewfinder.
Large, 16:9 Widescreen
Hybrid LCD Monitor
The HVR-Z1 includes a 3.5-inch viewable area
measured diagonally type color LCD monitor with
a high resolution of approx. 250,000 pixels, which
allows for viewing of the input source during
recording, or checking the playback picture on
location in a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9.
This large screen is also helpful in setting menus or
audio recording levels, as well as monitoring the
camera and audio status while mounted on a
tripod. The hybrid LCD monitor combines the
characteristics of both transmissive and reflective
LCD panels. The transmissive LCD panel is well
suited to dark conditions, such as those found in
the studio, while the reflective LCD panel provides
clear viewing in bright conditions, such as under
strong sunlight.
Simultaneous Operation of LCD
Monitor and Viewfinder
The LCD monitor and viewfinder can be used
simultaneously. The LCD monitor is located above
and in front of the handle, which places it on the
same level as the viewfinder. This allows operators
to perform focus adjustments on the subject with
the LCD viewfinder, while adjusting the color
balance with the LCD monitor.
