HDC-Z10000

Two new, large-diameter F1.5 lenses and two high-sensitivity 3MOS sensors (with an effective pixel count for 6.57 megapixels*) are independently mounted left and right, and the newly developed Crystal Engine Pro Ⅱ provides high-speed processing. This system records extremely lifelike FULL HD 3D images. Naturally, the 3MOS System provides same effects for 2D, achieving precise and sharp 2D image quality in combination with progressive recording. * 6.21 megapixels when shooting in 3D.

The lens width of the right and left lenses forms a 42-mm stereoscopic structure, and unique O.I.S. technology is used to optimize the optical axes of the lenses. This achieves the industry's No. 1* close-ups of approximately 45cm** for macro shooting, while maintaining an equivalent 32mm wide angle*** of view. It records images that were conventionally difficult to capture, such as flowers, food and small animals, with 3D close-ups and clear detail. * As of August 31, 2011. **approx. 3.5cm when shooting in 2D *** 35mm camera equivalent.

Three independent manual rings simplify fine tuning for the focus, zoom, and iris to create precisely the intended image, and a dedicated dial lets the user finely adjust 3D convergence (parallax). Functions that are frequently used for recording, such as O.I.S. ON/OFF, Color Bar ON/OFF, Zebra Pattern Display, 3D Guide Display, Auto/Manual Iris, Auto/Manual Auto Focus, and Auto/Manual White Balance are also arranged on the side of the body as separate buttons to enable quick, intuitive operation.

In addition to built-in microphones for recording Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound/2-channel stereo, the HDC-Z10000 features two XLR audio inputs with a 48-V phantom power supply for external microphone use. Clear audio is recorded with minimal noise. Uncompressed Linear PCM (2-channel only) is also supported for recording original sounds with extremely high fidelity.

The HDC-Z10000 delivers a level of image quality that rivals other professional integrated twin-lens 3D cameras while dramatically reducing both size and weight. It is very easy to carry around and offers superb mobility in tight, indoor locations.
