Overview
The Sony HXR-NX80 is the first professional palm-sized camcorder to deliver stunning 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) content with Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) file-based workflows. S-Log3 is also supported, enabling you to create beautiful imagery with a wide colour gamut and colour range. The HXR-NX80 allows you to record a wide range of 4K (QFHD) and HD formats for maximum flexibility from this stunning palm-sized camcorder. The NX80 supports XAVC S 4K 100/60 Mbps recordings at 30p/25p/24p, XAVC S and AVCHD.
HXR-NX80
The HXR-NX80 delivers a stunning 120 frames per second (fps) in Full HD XAVC S 10-bit 4:2:0, giving you continuous five-times slow motion expression. Higher frame rates up to 960fps using S&Q motion cache recording are also possible for even better creative flexibility. The HXR-NX80 offers Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) recording, in addition to S-Log3, for easy file-based workflows, while achieving the image quality of HDR. This simple workflow enables the shooting, editing and viewing of HDR content in HLG, without devoting a lot of time to post-production work and additional colour grading.
Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe
The camcorder features a Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe, HDMI and remote interface to connect with and control remotely a wide variety of compatible Sony accessories, including creating a simple live solution when connected to the optional MCX-500 Multi-Camera Live Producer and RM-30BP Remote Commander.
High-quality Images
A large 14.2-megapixel (effective) 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor delivers beautiful background bokeh defocus effects and superior sensitivity for capturing high-quality images with less noise, even under dark or bright conditions. This sensor integrates up to 273 phase-detection AF points that densely cover approximately 84% of the image area, for precise tracking of subjects throughout the shooting frame.
Autofocus
Enhanced Fast Hybrid autofocus (AF) comprises a number of features: phase-detection AF with up to 273 reference points covering approximately 84% of the image area, face detection and lock-on autofocus technology to estimate subject movement. They all work together seamlessly to capture fast-moving subjects with amazing sharpness.
Other Features
The HXR-NX80 delivers up to 120 frames per second (fps) in Full HD, giving you a maximum of five-times slow motion expression. Higher frame rates of 240, 480 and 960fps are also possible.
