FeatuREs Rain & Dust Proof Performance The main HXR-NX70U camcorder unit has achieved an IEC60529 IP54 rating after meeting dustproof and rainproof test performance requirements. Users can be confident that these types of challenging shooting environments will not affect the reliable operation of the camcorder. The camcorder's sealed body design make sure that harmful sand and large dust particles do not get inside and cause problems with the electronic circuitry. However, it is important to note that even a dustproof performance rating of IP5x does not guarantee 100% protection against exposure to extremely fine particles. 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 pressurized water from a tap or hose. When the external shotgun microphone and XLR audio adaptor with cables are connected or other accessories are attached, the dustproof and rainproof performance of the camcorder cannot be guaranteed. In these shooting circumstances it will be necessary to use a rain cover and be careful not to allow dust or water to enter the camcorder. Make sure to use the camcorder properly as damage caused by misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the camcorder is not covered under warranty.

Optical Steady Shot™ image stabilization with Active Mode Optical Steady Shot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. In addition, the innovative 3-Way ShakeCanceling feature adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture. Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for superb low-light video Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor R sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in low-light conditions. The sensitivity is roughly double that of conventional CMOS sensors of the same size and pixel size. Assignable Lens Ring (Focus/Zoom/Iris) Get the most out of your camcorder with enhanced manual controls. The assignable lens ring allows for manual adjustment of focus, iris, and zoom settings. Infrared NightShot® (night vision) filming and photography.
