Create beautiful imagery with a wide color gamut and color range. Its advanced Fast Hybrid AF system is designed to provide pin-sharp image quality at all times with complete creative control. The HXR-NX80 is a palm-sized camera that offers phase-detection Autofocus (AF) and HDR capabilities in a compact, palm-style body. This is ideal for corporate events, broadcast news, and television production. The HXR-NX80 camcorder features a stacked 1" Exmor RS CMOS sensor with 14.2MP, a 12x Zeiss optical zoom, an OLED viewfinder, and 3.5" touchscreen LCD monitor. This camcorder records 4K in XAVC S 4K, streams via 2.4/5 GHz frequency bands, and includes S-Log3/S-Gamut3 functions for additional image control.

Support Slow Motion
High Frame Rate shots can turn everyday actions into slow motion ballet, and the HXR-NX80 delivers a stunning 120 frames per second (fps) in Full HD XAVC 10bit 4:2:2, giving you continuous five-times slow motion expression. Higher frame rates up to 960fps using S&Q motion cache recording are also possible for even greater creative flexibility.

1” Exmor RS CMOS Sensor
The 1” Exmor Rs CMOS Sensor delivers beautiful background bokeh defocus effects and superior sensitivity for capturing high-quality images with less noise, even under dark or bright conditions. The sensor gives you low noise and less blur, because more light reaches the sensor, offering clear and steady pictures even in a dark scene with a minimum illumination of 1.7 lux and low lux mode.

Fast Hybrid Autofocus
Enhanced Fast Hybrid autofocus (AF) comprises a number of features: phase-detection AF with up to 273 reference points covering approximately 84% of the image area, face detection and lock-on autofocus technology to estimate subject movement. They all work together seamlessly to capture fast-moving subjects with amazing sharpness.

Auto Focus Creative Control
AF Drive Speed means you set the speed at which focus switches rapid for a sports event and slow for a drama production. It’s easy to get the results you need. AF Switching Sensitivity lets you lock tight to a single subject or fluidly switch focus such as when shooting a line of runners. The AF Track Depth allows you to choose a Wide depth of field when a subject is fast moving, while Narrow fine tunes performance for a subject at a consistent distance.

HDR workflows
Shoot, edit and view HDR content in HLG without the need for additional color grading. As the expanding need for HDR content continues, Internet video platforms and professionals producing corporate or event content are paying more attention to the added value of HDR. They need to deliver content quickly, without compromising on imaging expression and quality of content. To meet this demand, the HXR-NX80 offers Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) recording, in addition to S-Log3, for easy file-based workflows, while achieving the image quality of HDR. This simple workflow enables the shooting, editing, and viewing of HDR content in HLG, without devoting a lot of time to post-production work and additional color grading.

4K (QFHD) and HD
The HXR-NX80 allows you to record a wide range of 4K (QFHD) and HD formats for maximum flexibility from this stunning palm-sized camcorder. The NX80 supports XAVC S 4K 100/60 Mbps recordings at 30 p/25 p/24 p, XAVC S and AVCHD.

Networked for high mobility
The HXR-NX80 comes with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi as standard, simply turn on and log onto your preferred network to enable a host of advanced wireless production features:

  • Ustream® direct streaming allows you to share scenes as they happen with high-quality picture and sound without a switcher
  • Wi-Fi/NFC (Near Field Communication) with Content Browser Mobile™ allows the HXR-NX80 to be remotely controlled from a smartphone or tablet computer (iOS 9.0 – 10.3 or Android 4.4 through 7.1) via a Wi-Fi connection. One-touch authentication is also possible with smartphones that offer NFC connectivity
  • The Content Browser Mobile™ application can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or App Store. Wi-Fi operation cannot be guaranteed with all smartphones and tablet computers.

 

Wide-Angle Zoom Lens with Control
The HXR-NX80 is supplied with a fixed 29 mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens, ideal for capturing panoramic landscapes. The 12 x optical zoom can be increased to 18x with Clear Image Zoom, maintaining 4K resolution using Super Resolution Technology or 24 x in HD. In addition, the digital extender can double this range again, up to 48x zoom.

The camcorder’s lens ring enables smooth, natural adjustment of focusing or zooming, depending on which mode is selected; while the manual dial and buttons on the side of the body allow swift and easy adjustment of IRIS (aperture), ISO/GAIN and shutter speed.

Monitoring with OLED viewfinder
You have amazing monitoring options with the NX80, an enhanced 0.39-type 2359 K dot OLED viewfinder and 3.5-type 1550K dot LCD. The super high-resolution OLED viewfinder offers excellent quality brightness, contrast and response, giving you better precision of manual focus operations and eliminating any color-breaking phenomenon. The LCD gives you further flexible composition options.

Dual XLR Inputs
The NX80 has two XLR connectors, so even if you remove the handle with its standard, easy-access XLR connector, then a second on the body is still available, making it ideal for applications such as shooting in a confined space, such as a car interior or when mounting on a gimbal.

Remote Operation
The HXR-NX80 has a featured remote interface 2.5 mm stereo mini-mini jack wired interface. Using a wired remote controller such as the RM-1BP or RM-30BP, the focus, zoom, rec start/stop, and rec review can be controlled remotely. The camcorder can connect to the optional RM-30BP and MCX-500 Multi-Camera Live Producer to form a simple live solution.

Easy Live Solution
The HXR-NX80 is designed to work seamlessly with Sony’s MCX-500 Multi-Camera Live Producer, a robust and cost-effective switcher that makes it easy for one person to run a multi-camera live event shoot. When used with the MCX-500 and Remote Commander RM-30BP, a tally indicator will automatically appear on each HXR-NX80’s LCD panel and viewfinder – a red icon indicates when the shot is live (PGM) while green indicates preview mode (PVW). The MCX-500 supports up to nine video inputs, five channel stereo inputs, including XLR with both internal recording and live streaming via Ustream, Facebook Live, and YouTube Live.

Synchronize Multiple Camcorders
When shooting with multiple camcorders, you can synchronize the timecode of each camcorder using Content Browser Mobile (CBM) smartphone application* with optional CBKZ-WTCL upgrade. With this feature, all camcorders can synchronize to the primary camcorder you select or to a manually set time.
