Features
Three 1/3-inch Exmor ClearVid CMOS sensors
The DSR-PD177 uses three 1/3-inch Exmor ClearVid CMOS sensors to deliver high-quality standard-definition imaging with improved low-light performance and reduced noise.
Sony's Exclusive High-performance G Lens
The Sony G Lens combines advanced optical technology with the camcorder's imaging system to provide high-quality images across a wide range of shooting situations.
29.5mm wide-angle 20x optical zoom G Lens
The 29.5mm wide-angle lens provides a broad field of view for landscapes and confined spaces, while the 20x optical zoom allows detailed close-up shooting from greater distances.
Advanced optical lens construction
The lens features two ED glass elements to reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing. Its 10-group, 15-element construction also incorporates three compound aspheric lenses for crisp and clear images.
Six-blade iris diaphragm
The almost circular six-blade iris diaphragm allows operators to create creative background blur for visually expressive shots.
Natural-touch lens operation
The ergonomic zoom, focus and iris control rings allow one-handed operation. A high-speed zoom mode is also available for faster framing adjustments.
Digital extender
The digital extender increases the zoom ratio to approximately 30x, extending the camera's reach for distant subjects.
Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation
Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation helps reduce the effects of camera movement and provides a more stable picture during handheld shooting.
Built-in ND filters
Three built-in Neutral Density filters—1/4, 1/16 and 1/64—provide exposure control and help operators manage depth of field in different lighting conditions.
Cutting-edge imaging system with Exmor technology
Exmor technology uses column-parallel A/D conversion and dual noise-cancelling methods to reduce noise during signal processing, producing high-quality digital signals.
Excellent low-light performance
The Exmor sensor system enables the DSR-PD177 to achieve a low-light sensitivity of 1.5 lux at 1/25 shutter, auto iris and auto gain.
Progressive Scan Mode
The DSR-PD177 provides SD-quality 25p footage. The 25p image is recorded as an interlaced signal by dividing each frame into two fields, maintaining compatibility with interlaced editing and monitoring equipment.
