HXR-NX3

High Quality 3CMOS Handheld Camcorder

A new multi-purpose camcorder offering exceptional image
Quality ready to maximize your creative potential as a producer.

The HXR-NX3 is a professional camcorder that features Sony Exmor™ 3CMOS Sensors for outstanding image

quality. Dual media slots allow simultaneous or relay recording in AVCHD 2.0 (1080 50p) format. There’s also

a Slow & Quick Motion feature that achieves smooth 2x slow motion when recording at 25p, or 50x quick

motion recorded at 1 frame per second when recording at 50p. In addition to 20x optical zoom, Clear

Image Zoom with Super Resolution Technology provides an extended 40x zoom range with excellent clarity

and detail. A built-in LED video light, Wi-Fi/NFC remote control capability, and a 3.5 inch LCD panel for

enhanced viewing add to the versatility of this multi-purpose camcorder.

Original Sony lens, sensor, and LSI technology
for impressive imagery

The HXR-NX3 imaging advantage begins with a Sony G
Lens that offers stunning image quality as well as a wide
zoom range. Behind that lens is a 3CMOS Sensor system
with three 1/2.8” sensors providing a 2.07 million
effective pixel count at the 16:9 aspect ratio. Red, blue,
and green light are independently and accurately
captured by separate image sensors, contributing to
high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic
range that translate to extraordinarily natural color
reproduction. A newly developed LSI that includes
advanced noise reduction and several distortion
correction technologies handles image processing,
allowing clear, low-noise recordings to be captured
even in low light. Recorded images are remarkably
lifelike in texture and detail.

40x Clear Image Zoom

The high-performance Sony G Lens provided with the
HXR-NX3 offers an expansive 28.8 mm (35mm full-frame
format equivalent) angle of view at the wide end, with a
20x optical zoom range that will easily cover most
shooting situations. When more reach is required, Clear
Image Zoom employs Super Resolution Technology to
provide excellent image quality at a 40x range.

Slow & Quick Motion

Smooth slow or quick motion with full HD quality is
available without any extra processing. 2x slow motion
can be easily achieved by setting the recording format
to 25p and the frame rate to 50 fps. If you’d rather
speed up the action the frame rate can be set to 1 fps
for 50x quick motion when recording at 50p.

Dual media slots,
“Simul” or “Relay” recording,
and independent rec control

Two media slots allow either
simultaneous recording to two
memory cards in the “Simul” mode, or
“Relay” recording in which recording
automatically switches to the second
memory card when the first is full. The
user can set up the two Start/Stop
buttons on the HXR-NX3, one on the
grip and one on the camcorder
body, to independently start and stop
recording on different memory cards
while recording in Simul mode.

AVCHD 2.0 (1080 50p) and DV recording

HD video is recorded in AVCHD 2.0 (50p) format with a
high 50 fps frame rate that achieves smooth, natural
subject motion. 50i and 25p modes provide playback
compatibility with Blu-ray players. The ability to record in
DV format is also provided for users who prefer a DV
workflow, and who need to work in a DV compatible
non-linear editing environment.
