Camera Features

The DSR-PD150 incorporates three 1/3-inch CCDs with 380,000 pixels (effective 340,000 pixels), while the DSR-PD150P incorporates three 1/3-inch CCDs with 450,000 pixels (effective 400,000 pixels). The 1/3-inch size contributes to the high sensitivity and signalto- noise ratio. These CCDs are capable of both interlace scan and progressive scan, which is useful for recording still images or shooting a moving subject and exporting a frame of the image as a still picture to a PC.

This newly developed 12x lens with a 58 mm filter diameter allows the DSR-PD150 to achieve high picture quality as a 1/3-inch CCD camcorder. The camcorder has 530 lines of horizontal resolution, allowing you to capture your subject in greater detail.

The DSR-PD150 employs the Super SteadyShot system in which the horizontal and vertical movements are detected independently by the sensors. The prism system located in the front of the lens adjusts and optically compensates for unsteadiness, while maintaining image quality.

The 0.4 type black and white LCD viewfinder provides 500 lines of horizontal resolution - more than 20% greater than current color viewfinders. This enables easier manual focussing.
