The HDVF-C750W/C700W HD Electronic
Viewfinder is a 6-type color viewfinder for use with a
Sony high-definition color camera.
This viewfinder has the following features:
Compact and lightweight
The viewfinder uses an LCD panel, making it more
compact in size and lighter in weight as compared with
a CRT viewfinder that has a display of the same size.
Multiscan
In addition to the 60i format, formats such as 24PsF
and 50i are supported for control signals from the
camera.
High resolution
The high-resolution LCD panel of the viewfinder
provides 500 or more lines of horizontal resolution.
Stable picture
Tally lamps
The viewfinder has red and green tally lamps which
light in response to tally signals.
Superior usability
The height of the HDVF-C750W can be set to one of
three positions. It can be tilted up to 90° upwards or
90° downwards, and can be panned up to 90° leftwards
or 90° rightwards.
The HDVF-C700W can be tilted up to 90° upwards or
50° downwards.
Drip-proof construction
The drip-proof design is able to withstand light rain,
making the viewfinder well suited to outdoor use.
Studio monitor hood, outdoor hood
The viewfinder can be fitted with a strong, easy-to-use
hood (supplied), or an outdoor hood with excellent
shading ability (option).
The LCD panel provides a stable image without
distortion, regardless of screen brightness.
Step-variable peaking
Step-variable peaking circuits provide a sharp image,
making it easy to focus the camera.
Notes
•The LCD panel of this unit is a product of highprecision technology. In rare cases, there may be one
or more dropout pixels or pixels (red, blue, green,
etc.) which are always on. This is not a malfunction
(99.99% or more effective pixels). The existence of
such pixels has no effect on the output of the camera.
Energy-saving design
The viewfinder will accept a wide range of power
supply voltage (from 10.5 to 17 volts) with low power
consumption (10 watts).
•When using the viewfinder at low temperature,
dynamic resolution drops just after turning the power
on.
•Use a blower to remove dust from the screen.
•Do not use a solvent such as thinner to clean the
screen.
