The Sony NX5U is a professional high definition camcorder with a wide-angle, 20x optical zoom lens. It features three 1/3” Exmor CMOS sensors for excellent color reproduction, color sensitivity, and low light performance.

This camera also offers SteadyShot. This feature reduces hand-held camera shake, which is perfect for filming in active situations like weddings or parties. This option is also very effective for recording inside a moving vehicle. Use Normal for less correction, Active for the most correction, or the feature can be switched off when not needed.

The Sony NX5U shoots in 1080 or 720 resolution and 60i, 30p and 24p frame rates. HD video is saved in AVCHD format. It also records standard definition in 480/60i. It can record in 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios. It uses Memory Stick PRO Duo or PRO-HG Duo cards. It has two memory card slots and allows continuous recording from one card to the next.

A Memory Stick PRO Duo card is not included with the camera. See below to add one or more to your rental.

In highest-quality 1080/60i format, a 32GB card stores about 170 minutes of video. This doubles when two cards are used. Lower resolution formats and frame rates use less card space.

Note: The NXCAM Content Management Utility is available for download at Sony’s website. You must have the camera to connect to your computer during the download process. If you will need this utility, be sure to install the software before reshipping the camera.
