ND ND 1/4 1/128 Overexposed Optimum Exposure Fine aperture control from 1/4 to 1/128 makes it easy to dial in perfect exposure for a wide range of scenes. Variable ND filter The PXW-X180 is one of the first professional Sony camcorders to feature a continuously variable ND filter. A new filter device that electronically controls density enables continuous adjustment from 1/4 ND to 1/128 ND via a simple dial operation. In conjunction with iris setting that controls depth of field and brightness, this advanced filter facilitates shooting techniques such as the use of slow shutter in daylight and other bright conditions. For operators who prefer the conventional ND selector interface, the PXW-X180 features a dual ND filter control mechanism that provides both continuous electronic control and the standard fourposition switch. 3.5-inch* type LCD panel and 0.5-inch* type OLED viewfinder The PXW-X180 is equipped with a 3.5-inch type QHD LCD panel (960 x 540 xRGB, 16:9) that provides easy viewing in a wide range of lighting conditions. Both models also feature a 0.5-type OLED viewfinder (1024 x 768 xRGB, 4:3). High resolution makes precise manual focus easy. Compared to LCOS devices, there is no color breakup and viewing comfort is significantly improved. *Viewable are measured diagonally. 0.5-inch type OLED viewfinder Wireless functions*1 for file transmission and remote control Near Field Communication (NFC*2) functions allow easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet. The Content Browser Mobile*3 application enables confirmation of the angle of the shot before shooting, monitor recording, and remote operation of the camcorder (field angle/white balance/iris, etc.). The use of mobile routers (sold separately) and other mobile devices also allows transmission of files after shooting. In addition, lightweight proxy video files can be generated separately from the main line recording and recorded to SD cards for quick sharing of content over low-bandwidth mobile networks. *1. Wireless operation cannot be guaranteed with all smartphones and tablet devices. *2.NFC, or Near Field Communication, allows close-range wireless communication between the PXW-X180 and an NFC equipped smartphone or tablet device. *3.The required Content Browser Mobile smartphone application can be downloaded from the Google® Play Store or Apple App Store.
