who needs capture superb content whatever the con-

ditions, the dust and rain-proof HXR-NX70E is the

perfect compact camcorder.

In low light conditions, its Exmor R™ CMOS sensor

delivers roughly double the sensitivity of conventional

CMOS sensors, while an ultra-wide angle 26.3mm

Sony G Lens™ lets you capture more of the action in

close shooting situations. You can also ‘geo-tag’ your

precise location with built-in GPS, while 96 Gigabytes

of embedded Flash Memory provides up to 40 hours

of storage capacity - ideal when operating in remote

locations.

The exceptionally robust NX70 doesn’t sacrifice pic-

providing deeper, more film-like skin tones. And if you

want precise, hands-on control there’s a switchable

lens ring for manual control of focus, iris and zoom

functions.

The HXR-NX70 is suitable for producing content for

international usage thanks to the latest 50p recording

options. It can also shoot still images simultaneously

with video using a Dual Rec function, providing com-

plete on location flexibility.

ments will not affect the reliable operation of the

HXR-NX70E thanks to its IEC60529 IP54 rating. The

harmful sand and large dust particles do not get in-

side. A waterproof performance rating of IPx4 means

A waterproof performance rating of IPx4 means that

the main camera body is protected against rain

showers and water splashes. However, it should not

be submerged underwater or sprayed with pressur-

ised water from a tap or hose. When used with ac-

cessories such as an external microphone, a rain cov-

er should be used to protect the accessory and con-

nection. IP5x rating does not guarantee 100% protec-

tion against exposure to extremely fine particles.

Exmor R™ sensor relocates the photo diodes above

the support circuitry, maximising the light gathering

area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in
