Newly developed 25x optical zoom G Lens with 26 mm wide angle This new lens delivers uncompromised Sony G Lens quality and a 26 mm angle of view at the wide end of its 25x zoom range (35 mm equivalent: 26 mm to 650 mm). That's more than enough range for a wide variety of shooting situations. Independent manual zoom and focus rings with end-stop and iris control are provided, and a slide mechanism on the focus ring enables easy switching between auto and manual focusing. Compatible with XAVC and a range of other recording formats In addition to XAVC Intra/Long GOP, the PXW-X180 can record in MPEG2, AVCHD, and DV format. The MXF file format is used for XAVC recording, efficiently compressing full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec. Image sampling is 4:2:2 10-bit with Intra-frame compression at 112 Mbps, or high-efficiency Long-GOP compression at 50/35/25 Mbps. Innovative Sony image sensor, image processor, and lens achieve outstanding image quality Sony's Exmor 3CMOS Sensor system provides independent 1/3-type CMOS image sensors for the red, blue, and green color channels, each with 2.07 effective megapixels (16:9). The result is high resolution and sensitivity that contribute to superb color reproduction. An advanced image processor that features sophisticated noise reduction and distortion compensation is instrumental in delivering superb detail and texture reproduction, with image quality settings rivaling highend broadcast camcorders. Support for SxS, XQD™, and SD memory cards plus Memory Stick® media To provide compatibility with a variety of workflows, the PXW-X180 features two SxS® memory card slots for high-speed read/write capability. An XQD card adaptor allows recording to XQD memory cards, and an SD card adaptor enables recording to SD memory cards for maximum economy when shooting for extended periods.
