Sony DSR-PD175P Manuale Utente

The DSR-PD175P is equipped with a 3.2-inch-type wi-

descreen XtraFine™ LCD panel on the front of its

handle. This has a high resolution of approximately

921,000 pixels, which allows for easier focus adjust-

ments. It can also display virtually 100% of the recor-

ded picture area at a colour temperature of approxim-

ately 6500K.

The 0.45-inch-type XtraFine EVF (Electronic View

Finder) has approximately 1,227,000 pixels and three

independent LEDs for red, green and blue colours.

This technology allows users to monitor objects with

remarkable colour reproduction accuracy and high

resolution*.

The EVF has a choice of colour or black-and-white dis-

play modes. It also displays virtually 100% of the pic-

ture area at a colour temperature of approximately

6500K.

* When the camcorder is panned quickly, or when an

object on the screen moves quickly, the R/G/B

primary colours may be seen on the object in the EVF

momentarily

The DSR-PD175P uses the same L series batteries as

the DSR-PD170P, so you can use your existing char-

gers and batteries

The DSR-PD175P offers a versatile choice of audio in-

puts. It features a newly designed high-quality built-in

stereo microphone, as well as two XLR audio input

channels for connecting to either professional micro-

phones or an external-line audio source. A 48V micro-

phone power source can also be supplied.

By adjusting the INPUT ASSIGN switch located on the

side panel of the DSR-PD175P, you can easily assign

the two audio input channels to either the built-in ste-

reo microphone or an external-line audio source, or

dedicate one channel to each and record them separ-

ately or mixed.

When assigned to one channel, the built-in stereo mi-

crophone acts as a wide-directional monaural

microphone.

In order to facilitate zoom control and recording oper-

ation during low-angle shooting, an additional zoom

lever and a rec. start/stop button have been added to

the carrying handle. The rec. start/stop button has a

hold function to prevent accidental operation.

The three-position slide switch located on the side of

the handle lets users select the zoom control type

from FIX, VAR and OFF. In FIX mode, zoom speed is

determined by the speed setting selected in the

menu, where eight speeds are available. In VAR

mode, zoom speed can be adjusted manually using

the zoom lever.

The DSR-PD175P is ready for HYBRID DVCAM/DV op-

eration, when connected to the optional HVR-MRC1K

Memory Recording Unit via an i.LINK connector. In

HYBRID operation, you can simultaneously record

video footage to both a tape and a standard Com-

pactFlash (CF) card.

Three recording options:

• Synchronous recording
• Relay recording
• HVR-MRC1K-only recording

For user convenience, the DSR-PD175P can dis-

play status information of the HVR-MRC1K on its

LCD. This status information includes:

• Connection status
• REC status
• Remaining CF recording time

The recording time on a 16-GB CF card* in

DVCAM and DV format is approximately 72

minutes.

* At least 133x speed and 2-GB capacity is

required.

A one-touch clip-type microphone holder makes it

easy to attach and remove the microphone for quick

storage.

The Memory Photo function allows the camera to be

switched to progressive scan mode for capturing still

images. Files can be recorded on Memory Stick Duo™

media in a choice of two sizes: 1080x810 pixels (4:3)

or 1440x810 pixels (16:9).

Sony’s ’G’ Lens features unique optical technology,

precisely optimised to complement the camcorder’s

advanced image-processing technology to deliver ex-

ceptional performance and expand your shooting pos-

sibilities. Set yourself apart from the competition with

this exceptional camcorder.
