FEATURES
Superb Picture Quality
Incorporating three 1/2-inch type 1.5-mega
pixel HD CCDs, the HDC-X300/X310 offers
outstanding-quality images with a low smear
level of -120 dB and a high signal-to-noise ratio
of 52 dB.
Progressive Mode
Incorporating Sony's innovative Advanced
Frame Accumulation (AFA) technology, the
HDC-X300/X310 can output progressive HD
signals (25PsF/29.97PsF), 2-3 pull down-
converted signal from 23.976PsF (59.94i) in
addition to interlaced HD signals (50i/59.94i).
Interlace and progressive modes can be easily
selected from the camera setup menu.
• 50i output mode: 50i or 25PsF selectable
• 59.94i output mode: 59.94i/29.97PsF/
23.976PsF (with built-in 2-3 pull-down
function) selectable
Compact and Lightweight Design
The HDC-X300/X310 is designed to be compact
and lightweight, making it ideal for capturing
HD-quality images at locations and from angles
where bulky production HD cameras cannot be
installed. This compact camera weighs only
2 lb 10 oz (1.2 kg)*, allowing easy installation
in space-constrained and awkward areas such
as on a crane head or helicopter. The supplied
tally unit can be easily detached from the
camera body, minimizing the camera size to be
fitted in, for example, a pan/tilt head or an
underwater housing.

Low-Light Shooting
The HDC-X300/X310 offers two convenient
functions for capturing clear images in low-light
environments - a Slow Shutter mode and a
Gain function - which can be used separately or
together. The Slow Shutter mode allows the
charge accumulation period of the CCD
(typically 1/60
TH
or 1/50
TH
second) to be
extended up to approximately two seconds
(64 frames). The Gain function allows the camera
gain to be boosted to +48 dB. When these
functions are used together, the camera offers
a stunning minimum illumination of 0.003 lx.

Auto-Focus Function*
While maintaining compatibility with
interchangeable manual-focus lenses, the
HDC-X300/X310 comes packaged with a
convenient auto-focus lens. Two auto-focus
modes are available and can be selected on the
supplied lens. One-push auto-focus readjusts
the focus each time the button is pressed,
while auto-tracing focus automatically tracks
the focus in a dynamic manner.
* Auto-focus function is only available when using the
focus servo lens VCL-719BXS included in the
HDC-X300K/X310K package.
