Read this first
Before operating this unit, please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future
reference.
Precautions when using the
camcorder
• Do not hold the camcorder by the following
parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the
jack covers.
b Notes
• The camcorder is not dustproof, dripproof or
waterproof. See “About handling of your
camcorder” (p. 110).
• When connecting the camcorder to another
device with communication cables, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct way.
Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will
damage the terminal and may result in a
malfunction of the camcorder.
• Use the camcorder in accordance with the
regulations of a place where you use it.
On the LCD screen and lens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
• The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for
effective use. However, there may be some tiny
black points and/or bright points (white, red,
blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on
the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.
These points are normal results of the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
On sunlight
• Do not record the sun or leave the camcorder
under the sun for a long time. The internal parts
of the camcorder may be damaged. If sunlight is
focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire.
• Do not expose your camcorder’s viewfinder,
lens, or LCD screen to the sun or strong light
source for extended periods. Doing so may
cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
• Do not attempt to record the sun directly. Doing
so may cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
On the temperature of your camcorder
and battery pack
Your camcorder has a protective function that
disables recording or playback if the temperature
of your camcorder or battery pack is beyond the
safely operable range. In this case, a message
appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder
(p. 100).
On recording
• In order to stabilize memory card operation, it is
recommended that you format the memory card
when you use it with your camcorder for the
first time. All data recorded on the memory card
will be erased by formatting, and cannot be
recovered. Save important data on the memory
card on other media such as a computer, before
formatting the memory card.

• Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the picture and sound are
recorded without any problems.
• Compensation for the loss of the content of
recordings or the loss of recording opportunities
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, storage media, etc., or even if
images or sounds are distorted due to the limits
of the capabilities of the camcorder.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your recordings on a
TV, a TV of the appropriate color system for the
country/region is required.
• Television programs, films, video tapes, and
other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
• Because of the way that the image device
(CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the
following phenomena may occur.
– The subjects passing by the frame rapidly
might appear crooked depending on the
recording conditions. (This phenomenon may
be notable in displays having high motion
resolution.)
– Horizontal lines appear on the LCD screen
during recording under fluorescent lights,
sodium lamps or mercury lamps. The
phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the
shutter speed (p. 39).
Save all your recorded image data
• To prevent your image data from being lost,
save all your recorded images on PC
periodically.
To handle the recorded images on
your computer
Download “Catalyst Browse” software (p. 18).
Format the recording media using
[MEDIA FORMAT] if images are not
recorded or played back properly
If you continue recording and deleting images on
recording media for a long period of time, the files
on that recording media may be fragmented. As a
result, you may not be able to record and save
images properly. If this happens, save images on a
PC, then format the recording media (p. 70).
About the operation of the camcorder
You can operate the camcorder using the V/v/B/
b/SET buttons (p. 72).
About NTSC (60i)/PAL (50i) models
This camcorder does not have a function for
switching the signal format (60i/50i).
In this manual, the values for both [60i] and [50i]
settings are described. Check the signal format of
your camcorder on the display screen (p. 13).
About this manual
• The on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using your camcorder if necessary (p. 91).
• Design and specifications of recording media
and other accessories are subject to change
without notice.

Step 5: Preparing the recording media
Supported memory cards
b Notes
• Operation with all memory cards is not assured.
• Only “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, which
is half the size of standard “Memory Stick”
media, or standard size SD cards can be used
with this camcorder.
• See page 103 for the recording time of memory
cards.
• Movies recorded on SDXC memory cards can
be imported to or played back on other
equipment, such as a computer or A/V device,
by connecting the camcorder to the equipment
with the USB cable. However, the equipment
must support the exFAT file system used for
SDXC memory cards. Confirm in advance that
the connecting equipment is supporting the
exFAT file system. If you connect equipment
not supporting the exFAT file system and the
format screen appears, do not perform the
format. All the data recorded will be lost.
Open the cover, and insert the
memory card with the notched edge
in the direction as illustrated until it
clicks into place.
• If you insert a memory card into the slot in the
wrong direction, the memory card, the memory
card slot, or image data may be damaged.
• Memory card slot A accepts either “Memory
Stick PRO Duo” media or an SD card. Memory
card slot B accepts an SD card only.
To eject a memory card
Lightly push the memory card once.
b Notes

z Tips
• It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower
shutter speed. Manual focusing with your
camcorder attached to a tripod is recommended.
• When recording under fluorescent lamps,
sodium lamps, or mercury lamps, the picture
may flicker or change colors, or may have
horizontal bands of noise.
You may be able to improve the situation by
adjusting the shutter speed to 1/50 if the power
frequency of your area is 50 Hz, or 1/60 in a 60
Hz area.
• You can switch the shutter speed display
between seconds and degrees ([SHUTTER
DISPLAY], p. 87).
To adjust automatically
Press the SHUTTER button F while the
shutter speed value is highlighted. The
shutter speed value disappears, or

You can record a subject clearly by using
the ND filter switch B when the recording
environment is too bright.
The ND filters 1, 2 and 3 reduce the volume
of light to about 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64,
respectively.
If flashes during the iris automatic
adjustment, set the ND filter to 1. If
flashes during the iris automatic
adjustment, set the ND filter to 2. If
flashes during the iris automatic
adjustment, set the ND filter to 3.
The ND filter indicator will stop flashing
and remain on the screen.
If flashes, set the ND filter B to
“CLEAR.” The ND filter icon will
disappear from the screen.
b Notes
• If you change the ND filter switch B during
recording, the movie and sound may become
distorted.
• When adjusting the iris manually, the ND filter
icon does not flash even if the light volume
should be adjusted with the ND filter.
• If the camcorder cannot detect the ND filter
position (CLEAR/1/2/3), flashes on the
screen. Make sure that the ND filter is set
correctly.
z Tip
• While recording a bright subject, diffraction
may occur if you close the aperture further
down, resulting in a fuzzy focus (this is a
common phenomenon with video cameras). The
ND filter switch B suppresses this
phenomenon and gives better recording results.

z Tips
• If the recording level is set to “AUTO” and
INPUT TRIM is set to [0dB], a –48 dBu input
will be recorded at the reference recording level
(–48 dBu corresponds to 0 dB level).
For example, if a microphone with –30 dB
sensitivity (0 dB = 1 V/Pa at 1 kHz) is
connected and a 1 kHz 74 dB SPL sound
pressure level is input (microphone output is
–48 dBu), set INPUT TRIM to [0dB].
If using a microphone with –36 dB sensitivity,
setting INPUT TRIM to [+6dB] will
compensate for the difference in sensitivity from
a microphone with –30 dB sensitivity.
• The INPUT TRIM function adjusts the input
level of external microphones. For microphones
with high sensitivity or to record high-level
audio, adjust in the negative direction. For
microphones with low sensitivity or to record
low-level audio, adjust in the positive direction.
• Distortion of high-volume audio may occur in
the input stage or the recording stage. To
counter distortion of the input stage, adjust the
level using the INPUT TRIM function. To
counter distortion in the recording stage, reduce
the overall level manually.
• If the INPUT TRIM is adjusted in the negative
direction too far, the audio level from the
microphone may become too small, adversely
affecting the S/N ratio.
• Test the effect of using [XLR SET] beforehand
to suit the microphone used and the sound field
to record.

scenes where the image, angle, or brightness
changes drastically. This is not a malfunction.
• A memory card formatted on a computer does
not have guaranteed compatibility with your
camcorder.
• Data read/write speed may vary depending on
the combination of the memory card and
memory card compliant product you use.
• Damaged or lost image data will not be
compensated for, and may occur in the
following cases:
– If you eject the memory card, turn the power
off on your camcorder, or remove the battery
pack for replacement while your camcorder is
reading or writing image files on the memory
card (while the access lamp is lit or flashing).

On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a memory card by
your camcorder conform to the “Design rule for
Camera File system” universal standard
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries
Association).
• If you cannot use the memory card that has been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder (p. 70). Note that formatting erases
all information on the memory card.
• You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on
your computer.
– When playing back image data recorded with
other devices.
About “Memory Stick” media
• This product supports parallel data transfer.
However, the transfer speed may differ,
depending on the type of media you use.
• This product cannot record or play data that uses
“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a
copyright protection technology that records and
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” L series battery pack of a
large capacity, such as NP-F770 or NP-
F970 (sold separately). “InfoLITHIUM” L
series battery packs have the
mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and a supplied AC Adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack displays
the remaining battery time in % according
to the operating situations of your
camcorder.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or below,
and the length of time you can use the battery
pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the
following to use the battery pack for a longer
time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,
and install it in your camcorder right before
you start taking shots.
• Make sure to turn off the camcorder when you
are not recording or playing back. The battery
pack is also consumed when your camcorder is
in recording standby or playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times
the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.

Additional Information
• The displayed level may not be correct under
certain circumstances.
• When the power goes off even though the
remaining battery percent indicator indicates
that the battery pack has enough power to
operate, charge the battery pack fully again.
Remaining battery percent will be indicated
correctly. Note, however, that the battery
indication will not be restored if it is used in
high temperatures for a long time, or if left in a
fully charged state, or when the battery pack is
frequently used. Use the remaining battery
percent indication as a rough guide only.
About storage of the battery pack
• If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool
place.
• To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, leave your camcorder in
recording standby until the power goes off.
About battery life
• Battery capacity decreases over time and
through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery’s life is governed by storage,
operating and environmental conditions.
About charging the battery pack
• Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
• Use the AC Adaptor (supplied) to charge the
designated batteries only. If you charge other
types of batteries, those batteries may leak, heat
up, burst, or give an electric shock, resulting in
burns or injury.
• Remove the charged battery from the AC
Adaptor.
• The CHG lamp of the supplied AC Adaptor
flashes in 2 patterns as follows:
Fast-flashing...Turns on and off rapidly at about
0.15-second intervals.
Slow-flashing...Turns on and off alternately for
about 1.5 seconds, and turns off completely for
about 1.5 seconds. The lamp repeats this
sequence.
• If the CHG lamp is fast-flashing, remove the
battery that is being charged, and then re-attach
the same battery again firmly. If the CHG lamp
continues fast-flashing, the cause could be that
the battery is damaged, or the battery is not a
designated type. Check the battery to confirm
whether it is a designated type or not. If it is a
designated type, remove the battery first, and
then attach a brand-new battery or another
known-to-be-good battery to see if the AC
Adaptor is working correctly. If the AC Adaptor
is working correctly, the cause could be that the
battery is damaged.
• If the CHG lamp is slow-flashing, the AC
Adaptor is in standby mode and charging is
suspended. When the ambient temperature is out
of the appropriate temperature range for
charging, the AC Adaptor suspends charging
automatically and enters standby mode. When
the ambient temperature returns to an
appropriate temperature, the AC Adaptor
restarts charging and the CHG lamp lights up.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of from 10 °C to 30 °C
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the charge lamp of the
camcorder turns off. If you charge the battery
pack outside of this temperature range, you may
not be able to charge it efficiently.

Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet (wall
socket) using the supplied AC Adaptor, and leave
it with the power turned off for more than 24
hours.

  • Is er een Nederlandtalige Handleiding?? Van de sonny HXNX 100 Gesteld op 16-6-2022 om 11:52

    Reageer op deze vraag Misbruik melden

  • Goedendag,
    Ik heb mijn oog laten vallen op de Sony HXR NX100. Heeft ook iemand deze camera, graag advies en mening over deze camera, t.a.v. gebruiksvriendelijkheid en kwaliteit. Heb al gehoord, dat het oculair van onvoldoende kwaliteit is en lensdop alleen vastzit aan de lens, dus bij gebruik camera kans op verlies groot (groter) is. Zijn er nog meer nadelen en is hiermee te leven ?
    Welk statief moet ik nemen, heb nu zelf de Manfrotto 128RC, is deze geschikt voor deze camera ? Iemand ervaring met Camgear statieven ? Mij wordt geadviseerd de Mark 6 ?
    Tenslotte de draadloze microfoonset, welke is het geschikst voor deze camera, van merk Rode of die van Sony ? Ik vind de prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding wel goed. Heb al meerdere cameramerken gehad, maar toch al weer teruggekomen bij Sony.
    Graag uw advies, bevindingen en eventuele tips !

    Mvrgr. Ko

    • Hallo,
      Als u deze camera wilt aanschaffen heeft u een goede keus gemaakt. Deze camera maakt uitstekende opnamen in verschillende formaten. Wat betreft het oculair, deze gebruik ik zelden, ben brildragend, wat de instelling van het oculair betreft, is dit wel een beetje afhankelijk van de kwaliteit van de ogen. De lensdop is inderdaad een beetje knullig, maar door er een koortje aan te lijmen is dat zo opgelost.
      Neem een statief wat zeker 5 kg kan dragen. Wat betreft de Camgear Mark 6 is dit een prima keus, maar wel een duurdere klasse als de Manfrotto 128 RC, zou ook nog kunnen deze gaat tot 4 kg. Met een draadloze microfoonset heb ik geen ervaring, ik gebruik indien nodig een bedraade microfoon van Sennheiser. De interne mic geeft ook een prima geluid. Ook bezit deze camera een Phantom voeding voor externe microfoons dit daar geschikt voor zijn. Diverse geluids instellingen aanwezig.
      Al met al een pro camera met vele mogelijkheden, voor een zeer schappelijke prijs.
      Mvrg,
