Features:
- Digital binoculars with HD video recording
The Sony® DEV-5 is the world’s first pair of digital recording binoculars
that utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video. The
DEV-5 puts a whole new experience to outdoor spectator activities such as
birdwatching, sporting events and star gazing. For the first time consumers
can capture amazing footage and save it for enjoyment on HD and 3D TVs
- 1920x1080 Full HD 60p/60i recording w/7MP still image capture
Capturing 1920 x 1080 high definition resolution lets you record your memories
in exceptional Full High Definition quality. Capable of 60p/60i recording6
and playback via HDMI® and compatible HDTV providing stunning clarity
and incredibly detailed playback of your memories. At the same time, you can
also capture up to 7.1MP still images so you never miss that decisive moment
- 20x Seamless Zoom in 3D mode with AutoFocus
Enjoy high magnification of up to 20x total zoom in 3D mode (10x optical and
10x digital). With seamless zoom from 0.9x to maximum magnification users
will find it easy to frame their subjects wide and zoom in for detail. With
Autofocus the subject will remain sharp in view through zooming unlike the
conventional binoculars. Unlike conventional binoculars, the DEV-5 also focuses
on subjects as close as 1cm when recording in 2D, and as close as 80cm when
recording in 3D
- Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/ Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode compensates
for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video, whether
you’re shooting in 3D or 2D. Now you can capture life smoothly as it
happens while walking and zooming in from wide to telephoto and back
- Dual Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensors for superb low-light
video
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and
drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated "Exmor R"
CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the "Exmor
R" sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing
the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in
lower lighting conditions. The DEV-5 employs two of these sensors to process
what you record in 3D
- Dual Wide Angle G Lenses
Experience the pinnacle of Sony® lens technology with the professional-quality
G Lens. Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver
brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images.
In addition, the 29.8mm(2D) and 34.4mm(3D) focal length in Video Mode offers
a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting
- Easily switch between 2D/3D with dedicated switch
A dedicated switch allows for easy switching from recording 2D to 3D, whether
you’re recording or playing back video. In 3D mode, only 3D content will
be displayed for playback, however when in 2D mode, all content will be displayed
and played back in 2D. This allows you to record all your video in 3D and
choose later whether or not you want to playback in 2D or 3D
- Geotagging with built-in GPS receiver
A built-in GPS receiver makes the DEV-5 an ideal choice for travelers. The
receiver gives you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map
display, as well as "tag" your shooting locations. Tagged videos
and still images can be reviewed and played back once downloaded to your PC
using the supplied PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software
- 2 Channel stereo mic with Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator
Dolby® Digital 2 channel recording captures active sounds coming from
all directions, so you can capture reactions and commentary of all your footage
as it happens
- Ergonomic and Functional Stealth Design
The DEV-5 binoculars have been designed for the end-user in mind, with a grip
block for optimized comfortable, fatigue-free viewing and shooting, dual record
buttons and a manual dial for focus control. As well, the DEV-5 is embodied
in a stealth design, with little décor to minimize distraction of your
subject
- Expanded recording/monitoring with mic/headphone jack
Features dedicated mic and headphone inputs for expanded audio recording options
and convenient monitoring of audio with headphones (external microphones and
headphones sold separately)
- Long recording capability and Battery Display
Enjoy your surroundings with ease of mind knowing that, with your supplied
NP-FV70 rechargeable battery pack, you can capture up to 2 hours and 35 minutes
of 2D recording on a single charge. Remaining battery time is displayed in
minutes on a GUI that can be viewed via the EVF, so you’ll always be
able to keep track of how much recording time is left
