OPERATIONAL CONVENIENCE

Compact and Lightweight Design
The HVR-V1P is designed to be very compact and
lightweight, for a high level of mobility in the field.
It weighs approximately 1.5 kg (3 lb 6 oz)
(camcorder only).

Ergonomic Design

The design of the HVR-V1P is based on years of
Sony experience in camera ergonomics, and
provides ease of use and operational comfort.
Audio Level Dials
Two audio level dials are located on the carrying handle
where they are easy to adjust, while avoiding inadvertent
operations. The microphone power can be easily turned
on and off via the mechanical switches.
Zoom Ring and Focus Ring
The motorized zoom ring and focus rings provide a
smooth and natural operational feel for fine adjustments
of zoom and focus settings.
EXPOSURE/IRIS Dial
The EXPOSURE/IRIS dial is located near the zoom and
focus rings for smooth camera operations. The dial can
be used to set the iris, AE shift, and exposure
compensation functions, giving operators manual
exposure control during auto exposure mode. The
rotation direction and response for controlling these
functions can be selected via the menu according to
operators' preference.
One-push AF Button
The one-push auto focus button, which is used for
temporary auto focus adjustments, is located near the
EXPOSURE/IRIS dial and the zoom and focus rings.

Carrying Handle

A rubber coating is used on the bottom of the handle for
slip resistance. A large space of 34.3 mm (1 3/8 inches)
is offered below the handle for secure carrying of the
camcorder, even when wearing gloves.
On-handle Zoom Lever and
Rec Start/Stop Button
In order to facilitate zoom control and recording
operations during low-angle shooting, an additional
zoom lever and a rec start/stop button are available on
the carrying handle.
Two Audio Cable Clamps
Camera Setting Storage on
Memory Stick Duo Media
The HVR-V1P provides a convenient function to store
camera setting data. It can store and recall 20 different
setting configurations using Memory Stick Duo
and a further two using its built-in memory. This is useful
for sharing the same setting configurations among
multiple cameras.
