Sony DEV-50V Specification Guide

Key Features

Seamless zoom from 0.8x to as high as 25x binocular magnification

Simple zoom lever operation allows smooth, seamless zooming from 0.8x to a maximum of 25x magnification. Unlike

conventional binoculars that have a single magnification, Subject location and framing is much easier than with

conventional binoculars.

High resolution, high contrast OLED finder

DEV-50V/B features an XGA OLED “Tru-Finder” electronic viewfinders that deliver outstanding resolution and high contrast.

Since independent images are provided for the left and right eyes delivering a true stereosopic view, high-quality 3D

viewing is achieved without crosstalk or image degradation. The LCD panels used in the DEV-5 and DEV-3 viewfinders

were illuminated by an RGB light source, causing spurious reflections that could reduce contrast when blacks were being

displayed. The OLED Tru-Finder panels used in the new models produce their own light, so there are no residual reflections

to reduce contrast. Contrast is approximately 33 times greater than in the preceding models. Moreover, while the LCD

panels used in the DEV-5/DEV-3 were WVGA with 1.23 million total dots, the OLED devices in the current models are high-

resolution XGA with 2.36 million dots so that even the smallest details are clearly defined.

Compact, lightweight ruggedized dustproof/rainproof body design for outdoor use

The DEV-50V/B is 30% smaller and lighter Sony’s first generation digital recording binoculars making them convenient to

tote on every trip. They are dust and moisture resistant so you can use them without having to worry about rain, spray, or

dust.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/Active mode minimizes blur

The DEV-50V/B Digital Recording Binoculars were engineered with Active image stabilization technology to drastically

minimize blur especially when zoomed in on a subject far away. The image remains crisp and stable even at high

magnifications that would make viewing difficult with other binoculars. It is easier to follow even fast-moving subjects and

keep them in the frame, and of course the same stability contributes to the clarity of general observation and recording

as well. In addition to optical image stabilization that adjusts lens position in the vertical and horizontal axes, BIONZ image

processing adds compensation in the roll axis. The net result is highly effective 3-axis image stabilization.

Quickly capture and follow the subject, with autofocus

Simultaneous zoom and autofocus capability is an important advantage of the Digital Recording Binoculars. With

conventional binoculars it is necessary to readjust focus whenever the magnification is changed. With the Digital

Recording Binoculars autofocus rapidly follows zoom operation, providing uninterrupted subject tracking capability that

can be a huge advantage for motor sports and other applications that involve fast-moving subjects.

Hyper Gain enhances low-light visibility

With conventional binoculars low light levels can make it extremely difficult to locate and recognize the subject. Hyper

Gain alleviates the problem by electronically increasing brightness in the viewfinder so the subject can be quickly located

and framed even in dim light conditions.

By Pixel Super Resolution for superior still image quality

Thanks to By Pixel Super Resolution technology the DEV-50V/B offers. By Pixel Super Resolution technology analyzes and

processes not only the pixels to be directly affected, but also the surrounding pixels as well, and then combines the

resultant data with that from a database that contains hundreds of variations to achieve optimum processing for each

individual pixel. The result is notably improved still image resolution.

Double Full HD and 3D movie recording

DEV-50V/B

Observe and capture your WOW moments with Sony DEV-50. Unlike any

optical binoculars, these weather-proof digital recording binoculars offer

autofocus for tracking of fast moving subjects, an expansive zoom range to

get even closer to the action and superior performance in low light with two

OLED XGA viewfinders.
