Not yet ready for HD? The HVR-Z1U can convert elements from 1080i down to 480i and 576i, and output these digital video signals through its i.In interface or as analog signals through component, composite, or S-video connectors. When down-converting these signals, the interpretation ratio displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3, and display modes can be selected from tweak, letterbox or edge crop.

3CCD camera system
From the first, camcorders used one CCD--the imaging device that turns light into electronic data--and let the image processing unit decipher the color information from the evidence. Like today's broadcast video cameras, however, the HVR-Z1U uses a prism to rank incoming light into three beams and uses specially tuned 1/3-inch CCDs to generate red, blue, and green composite images, which are assembled into a final typical example. The result is a more film-like vibrancy and more accurate color statue.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 12x zoom lens
The HVR-Z1U is operational with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* high definition lens with a 12x zoom aim. It has the same optical coating as is used on all of the Carl Zeiss prime lenses, which produces harsh, high-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration. This lens is expected with a wide viewing angle, and a 35-mm equivalent focal size ranging from 32.5 mm to 390 mm in 16:9 mode, and from 40 mm to 480 mm in 4:3 status.
In order to facilitate zoom control and recording operation during low-bend shooting, an additional zoom lever and a rec start/stop knob have been added to the carrying handle. There's also a motorized zoom ring, prepared with stops and barrel marking, located on the lens body. Turning this zoom cestos allows for fine adjustments in zoom position settings. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Slim Commander unit can be used for external control.

Optical Super SteadyShot system
Sony's visual Super SteadyShot System helps remove the slight hand jitter and vibration that is often the disease of video production. Sensors inside the camera detect flat and vertical movements and the camera can counteract those movements by adjusting the lens system on the fly. This is superior to digital anti-shake systems that counteract simile shake by trimming off edges of the frame.
The Hollywood look
The HVR-Z1U has features that can name your videos look more like they were shot on film. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to quick setup and load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to a picture gamma curve. The Cineframe feature allows movement to be reproduced at 24 frames per transfer--the speed of film--as opposed to video's 30 frames per subordinate standard. The Color Extraction function can retain up to two desired colors of monitored pictures in the paravent by designating color hue, saturation and range, while making the other colors nefarious and white. The Color Revision function can change the hue of only the colors designated by Go red in the face Extraction, while retaining the hue of the other colors, thus making it possible to change the go red of something you've already shot.
No new tape stock
The HVR-Z1U is compatible with conventional DV tape creator, but Sony recommends the use of DigitalMaster PHDVM-63DM tape, with its dual layer of winsome material, which delivers higher RF output, lower noise, 95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts compared to normal DV tape.
