Description
The Sony HXR-NX3 is a compact handheld camcorder built for professional Full HD video, with a 3-chip Exmor sensor and a 20x optical Sony G zoom lens.
Sensor and Lens
Three 1/2.8″ Exmor CMOS sensors — one per RGB channel — capture high detail across high-contrast colours with low noise. The G lens covers a 35mm-equivalent 28.8-576mm range, extending to 1152mm with 40x Clear Image Zoom.
Recording and Connectivity
AVCHD 2.0 recording covers 24p, 30p, 60i and 60p at Full HD, plus 720/60p capture, 2x slow motion and 60x quick motion. Standard-definition DV recording is also supported for existing DV workflows. Wi-Fi and NFC allow remote viewfinder and control from a smartphone or tablet, streaming up to 30fps depending on device. Dual SD card slots support simultaneous or relay recording with independent record buttons.
Additional Features
A built-in LED video light (200 lux at 1m, 800 lux at 0.5m) helps with close-ups and interviews. Separate rings handle focus, iris and zoom, and built-in ND filters cover quick exposure adjustments.
