User questions & answers

Question:	What does the camera come with? it's a gift for my mom and I was wondering if I should get a bag for it or a memory card
Answer:	So - to answer his question directly - the answer is no. The buyer will need to buy a memory card.
Question:	What is the longest continuous recording file that you can create with this camera, assuming 64gb sdxc
Answer:	Hi R. N. Winters, depending on the type of videos to be recorder: XAVC S HD - 2 h 35 min, AVCHD (High Quality) - 8 h 15 min), AVCHD (standard) - 14 h 40 min. Hope this helps. -Ely
Question:	Can I record while the camera is charging? If I have a portable charger, could I have the camera plugged into that and still record
Answer:	I think the answers are confusing to some. Here's the scoop. You can use an external battery pack like the one you charge your Iphone with or you can plug it into a USB port or you can use the 110v adapter with USB cable plugged in. When you do those following things the camera is running off those power sources and not your battery. And yes, you can record while plugged into those external power sources. The battery will not charge when doing that and recording but that should not be a problem. Charge your battery at home. Now start recording and when your battery gets low plug into your external battery pack or USB and keep going. I own this camera and did the experiment. I use this in my car as a dash cam and it's plugged into my cigarette lighter and it runs non stop without using the battery.
Question:	Does it have a 3.5mm jack to plug in an external microphone
Answer:	This camcorder does not have an external microphone jack.

1920x1080 Full HD 60p w/9.2MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor

Create high definition 1920 x 1080 60p videos and high quality 9.2MP still images. Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated ExmorR CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor R CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.

29.8mm wide angle Carl Zeiss Lens

From the authority in lens technology, the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens provides a high quality 29.8mm wide angle so you can get everything you want in the shot.

27x Optical/54x Clear Image Zoom to get even closer to the action

Get amazingly close with 27x optical zoom plus 54x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos and video.

2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD display (230K)

The 2.7 inch (16:9) Clear Photo LCD (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily - even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.

Sony’s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.

Built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/charge

The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for charging or file transfer without having to remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording time.

Get creative w/ 7 picture effects for video and still photos

Picture Effects add a new level of expression to video and photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. There are seven different effects such as partial color to make your focal point stand out, or watercolor which looks like a painting.

AVCHD and MP4 dual recording

Record HD video in the AVCHD and MP4 formats for highest quality or easy transfer and sharing. AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal for capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on your social networks or store on the cloud.

Intelligent Auto (60 different scene combinations possible)

Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes and wind noise reduction. There are 60 different combinations possible: Portrait, Baby, Tripod , Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, Low light.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can an IR filter be screwed on the front
Answer:	This camcorder has a 43mm filter thread for you to attach filters.
Question:	How much better than the
Answer:	I've owned both the R700 & this R800 and the only difference I can find is the R800 records MP4 video only. There might be some difference in the settings, but I'm not sure of that. The R800 "seems" to be a 'little' better in low light, but not much (if any). You're getting a newer model camera. But if you already have an R700 and you are satisfied, don't waste your money.
Question:	Does this camcorder have night vision
Answer:	Thank you for your time. Please note that this unit does offer a "night" mode but does not have night vision specifically.
Question:	So it can definitely accommodate an external microphone
Answer:	From the manual... "You can connect to the camcorder's MIC terminal commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a 3.5 mm plug, but audio recording levels may vary." Note: "WITH THEIR OWN POWER SUPPLY."http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0300025910/01/vixiahfr80-82-800-im-en.pdf

Product features

Sony PXW-X70 Handheld Solid-State Memory Camcorder

The PXW-X70 is a compact, lightweight XDCAM camcorder with professional features including a high-sensitivity 1.0-inch type CMOS image sensor. It delivers high-resolution recording and superb performance even in low-light conditions and can record in various formats — including HD XAVC Long GOP (for 422 10-bit sampling), AVCHD, and DV — to meet particular needs.

1.0-inch type Exmor R CMOS Sensor with a Resolution of 20 Megapixels

The Exmor R CMOS sensor with 1.0-inch type picture elements delivers high resolution and minimal noise even when shooting in low-light conditions. The 20-megapixel sensor comfortably supports 4K resolution, and 4K recording will become available in the near future via firmware update.

A firmware update service (fee required) is planned to be available the first half of 2015.

Wide Variety of Recording Format Capabilities Including XAVC Long GOP (MXF)

The PXW-X70 provides multiple choices depending on the application required, including XAVC, AVCHD, and DV file-based recording. When recording in XAVC, the PXW-X70 uses the MXF file format, 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 high-efficiency Long GOP compression at 50 Mbps, 35 Mbps, or 25 Mbps. Moreover, the ability to record in AVCHD format, which is widely used already, provides playback compatibility with wide range of consumer electronics equipment. A firmware update in the near future will also enable recording of proxy video files.

29-mm Wide-angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T Lens with 12x Optical Zoom (Maximum)

The wide-angle 29-millimeter ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens ensures stunning quality to the very corners of the image and offers 12x optical zooming that can be increased to 24x via Clear Image Zoom. Magnification can be further increased to 48x by Digital Extender, which takes full advantage of the 20-megapixel high-resolution image sensor. From wide-angle to telephoto shooting, this lens enables various professional-level applications. Moreover, seven shutter blades contribute to impressive background bokeh.

Wi-Fi and Wireless Functions for Remote Control

A Content Browser Mobile app enables confirmation of the angle of each shot before shooting, remote monitoring, and remote operation of the camcorder (field angle/white balance/iris, etc.). Near Field Communication (NFC) functions allow easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet. Streaming and file transfer will become available with a future firmware update.

The Content Browser Mobile smartphone app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Four Position (clear, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64) Switchable ND Filter

The camcorder includes an advanced ND filter that facilitates shooting techniques such as the use of a slow shutter and iris adjustment in daylight and other bright conditions, providing fine aperture control with a standard four-position switch from Clear to 1/64 ND.

3.5-inch type LCD Panel and 0.39-inch type OLED Viewfinder

The PXW-X70 features a 3.5-inch type touch panel LCD panel (1.56 million dots, 16:9) that provides easy viewing in a wide range of lighting conditions. Also, the high-resolution 0.39-inch type OLED viewfinder (1.44 million dots, 4:3) will offer crisp and bright view without any color breaking, making precise manual focusing easy.

Compatibility with HDMI and 3G-SDI Output

Professional interfaces such as a 3G-SDI output terminal allow image signals to be transferred at up to HD1080 60p through a single BNC cable. HDMI output in the native format is possible while transmitting progressive signals without any pull-down. It also offers convenient external recording with embedded timecode and REC trigger.

Picture Profile Function for Image Parameter Adjustment

This feature allows adjustment of parameters that define image characteristics such as gamma curve, black level, and color level. Moreover, calibration of multiple cameras and tone control throughout entire recordings are possible. Picture Profile data and other recording settings can be stored on an SD card or a Memory Stick media card.

XLR Handle Unit for Easy Recording and Intuitive Zoom Control

The PXW-70 includes an XLR handle unit with REC button and zoom lever, as well as two XLR inputs for usage of professional microphones (optional) in addition to the internal microphone. The XLR handle unit can be detached easily, enabling the camcorder to be more compact, for situations that require the smallest and lightest equipment.

Compatible Accessories Attached to the Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe

A Multi-Interface shoe is equipped on PXW-X70. This MI shoe is used to connect the XLR handle unit. When the handle is detached, it can be used as a multi purpose intelligent shoe.

For instance, power and audio connections for a UWP-D11 or UWP-D12 wireless microphone receiver are made via this shoe, minimizing the need for extra batteries and additional cabling.

Dual media slots, Simul or Relay recording, and independent recording control

Two media slots allow either simultaneous recording to two memory cards in the Simul mode, or Relay recording in which recording automatically switches to the second memory card when the first is full. The user can set up the two Start/Stop buttons on the PXW-X70, one on the XLR handle unit and one on the camcorder body, to independently start and stop recording on different memory cards while recording in Simul mode.
