The HVR-HD1000E has been created to meet the
growing demand from users who are looking for an
entry-level professional shoulder mount design
with full 1080i HDV recording as well as
retaining DV capabilities.

black matte body is similar to that of other
professional camcorders; making it perfect for
weddings, corporate communications and sporting
events where appearance can make a big
difference. The ergonomically balanced shoulder
mount design also reduces operator fatigue on

recording, the HVR-HD1000E features a built-in
down converter to output DV content - ideal for
standard DVD productions. It can also record
natively in DV, including a Long Play DV mode
for maximum flexibility.

also features three special still photo modes -
ideal for producing DVD cases and even making
wedding photo albums.
Whether you are recording weddings and corporate
communications or teaching students, the
HVR-HD1000E is simply the best choice on the
market today for an entry level, shoulder mount
professional camcorder.
1/2.9-inch ClearVid CMOS SensorTM
The next generation of Sony imaging
sensor, the ClearVid CMOS Sensor is quite
unique and different from current CMOS
technology.
The ClearVid CMOS Sensor uses a unique pixel
layout rotated 45 degrees to provide high
resolution and high sensitivity. This pixel
layout technology is also used in higher end
professional camcorders.
The ClearVid CMOS Sensor, coupled with an
Enhanced Imaging ProcessorTM (EIP),
generates stunning images. Moreover, thanks
to the CMOS technology, bright objects do
not cause vertical smear.
Optical 10x zoom with Carl Zeiss
Vario-Sonner T* lens
The HVR-HD1000E camcorder can adapt to a
wide range of shooting situations thanks to
a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonner T* lens with 10x
optical zoom, as featured on higher end
professional HDV camcorders. The T* lens
coating suppresses unwanted reflections and
faithfully reproduces colours for
professional-looking results.
Super SteadyShotTM (Optical)
Image Stabilizer
An active optical lens system avoidsany
deterioration in image quality. The lens
itself shifts vertically and horizontally to
compensate for the polarized light axis in
real time.
Wide Clear Photo LCD plusTM
Monitor on Viewfinder
A large, freely rotating 2.7-inch type
LCD screen is located on the top of the
viewfinder unit to provide easy viewing when
the HVR-HD1000E camcorder is in a low-level
position or on a tripod. This also makes it
easy for adirector or client to see what the
camera operator is shooting. The 211,200
dotwidescreen Clear Photo LCD plus device
provides proper brightness and a high level
of colour reproduction.
Camera Control Ring
A special camera control ring is located
on the lens unit of the HVR-HD1000E
camcorder. Any one of the following
functions can be assigned to the ring for
easy adjustment:

Ergonomically Designed Handle
The ergonomically designed handle
contains a convenient record button and zoom
control, essential for low position
shooting. There are also two cold shoes on
the front and rear of the handle where you
can attach accessories like the HVL-LBP
Battery Video Light and HVR-DR60 Hard Disk
Recording Unit.
Long Operating Time With
infoLITHIUMTM L Series Battery
The HVR-HD1000E camcorder uses standard
infoLITHIUM L series batteries, like the
DSR-PD170P, HVR-Z1E, and HVR-V1E. With the
NP-F970, a maximum operating time of
approximately 10 hours can be achieved
thanks to the power management system and
low power consumption of the ClearVid CMOS
Sensor.
Smooth Slow Record
The Smooth Slow Record function enables
slow-motion playback by capturing images at
four times faster than the normal field rate
(200 fields/s). In this mode, quad-speed
images are captured for three seconds,
stored in the built-in buffer memory, and
then recorded to tape (in either HDV or DV
format) as slow-motion pictures lasting 12
seconds.*
* When using this function, the resolution
of the camera image is decreased. Sound can
not be recorded while shooting in this mode.
Super NightShotTM
The Super NightShot function uses a
built-in infrared light emitter that allows
you to record an object in zero lux light
levels. It also enables night-time
monitoring and surveillance.
