High- r esolution, High-contrast Images
XtraFine™ LCD
A 3.2-inch type XtraFine LCD is located on the HVR-Z7E in
the same position as on the HVR-Z1E.
The high pixel number of approximately 921,000 dots is
around four times greater than the LCD of the HVR-Z1E,
and this higher resolution allows for easier focus
adjustments.
XtraFine EVF
The 0.45 inch type XtraFine EVF (Electronic View Finder) has
approximately 1,227,000 dots (852x480x3(RGB)).
This device has three independent LEDs for R, G, and B
colours. This technology allows users to check objects with
remarkable colour reproduction and resolution*. The EVF has a
selectable display mode between colour or black and white.
*When the camcorder is panned quickly or when an object in the
screen moves quickly, the primary colours of R/G/B may be seen on the
object in the EVF momentarily.
