Sony nxcam hxr-nx5u manual

If you want to keep your image maximally sharp you might want to set the auto iris limit to f5. If my camera can automatically sense this and do away with it, so much the better. If you want it as an effect, turn this setting OFF. Remember that HARD will make pans and tilts hectically jumpy, even more so than other settings. This is an amazing feature, allowing steady shots in some very unsteady circumstances. I generally keep the camera in manual focus mode, using the push focus button to activate the autofocus if I need to.

I reset if and when needed. If I want to be in tighter on a far-off subject, I can always crop in while editing. Will rather do a fade in the edit. Looks intriguing. Turn ON when needed. No particular defaults. I have no idea. I want to hear both channels of audio separately. Just keep wind off the mic. ZEBRA: ON, [Need to know when things are blowing out, also good to know exactly, 70 is therefore useless to me as it will show zebras before that part of the image is completely blown out.

Yellow most visible. Middle setting most useful across various situations. Very useful. Vital for almost every type of shooting. I wish there was a way of preventing it from disappearing after zooming, though! I really, really wish one could display this permanently on the screen and also when in autofocus mode, and not have it vanish after turning the focus ring!!! Better outdoors that way. Looks most like the image that comes out of the camera that way.

Have no idea why, a Sony quirk. Like a seriously noisy, colour nightshot mode, not to be confused with regular high gain setting, which has much less noise. Set on changeover days. Set as required. Only set this on if you really, really need the date superimposed on the image.

I only use one cam at a time, so no chance of confused signals. November 21st, , PM Serggio Lamas. November 21st, , PM Ron Evans. Don't understand this update. I bought my NX5U when they first came out. Updated to ver 2 to solve the FMU issue and from day one had P60 in my menus and have used from day one too.

Is this an update for the AX? November 23rd, , AM Justin Hewitt. November 24th, , PM Rob Cantwell. The lens then shifts downwards, and the image vanishes gradually at the edges. If this symptom occurs, contact Sony for appropriate servicing. December 2nd, , AM Stelios Christofides. Just successfully updated my firmware to V4. I was so nervous during the process, because you never know what can go wrong. December 2nd, , AM Ron Evans. What did it add that you didn't have before?

December 3rd, , AM Stelios Christofides. December 3rd, , AM Ron Evans. Didn't you have that before? That is why I was puzzled by the firmware announcement. Did the PAL version not have that P50 from the start? I know of at least one person in UK with a NX5 that has P50 in his menus so he too is a little puzzled as to what the firmware is about. Sony NX5U firmware upgrade? Lossless compression means that the algorithm will attempt to maintain the same basic image quality by only eliminating data redundancies and other unimportant information.

Lossy compression may reduce the quality of the video by eliminating important information. This is often done when storage space is a concern. The precise specifications may vary based on the model but, in general, Sony NX camcorders are equipped with the following features:.

The aspherical G-lens in the NX camcorder is designed to capture your intended subject with granular details and discernible textures. It also provides a more precise and smooth bokeh blurring effect in the out-of-focus part of the image. The lens is equipped with actuator technology, which offers fast and precise focus in both manual and auto modes. The Exmor CMOS sensor is designed to reduce the noise of the video and increase the amount of light captured by the camcorder.

The camcorder is resistant to dust and moisture that can interfere with the operations of the lens and the other internal components. Sony NX camcorders have one, possibly two, media card slots that support Sony Memory Stick Pro memory cards, SD memory cards, or a combination of both.

Select models may internal flash storage as well. SD cards are the more commonly used standard. They can be read by almost all modern card readers. Memory Stick Pro is a proprietary format only used by certain Sony devices. If you need to transfer your footage to an editor immediately, then you can send the file through the Wi-Fi connection, assuming theres a local access point.
