Sony - X1000 HD Action Camcorder - White
- General
- Product Name: X1000 HD Action Camcorder
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: FDRX1000V/W
- Color: White
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: 2.8 f/ (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, color temp and custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Display
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Video
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4, MPEG-4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: Memory Stick Micro, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Integrated Speaker(s): true
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Connectivity
- Output(s): Composite video, HDMI, USB 2.0
- Microphone Type: Stereo
- Microphone Input: true (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)

A: No. The purpose of this camera is to provide a first persons perspective to the action - meaning this camera is designed for your son to wear while he is playing basketball, not you as a spectator. In theory you could use it to record the game with the Sony video watch that can be purchased separately but the video would be choppy and you would not be able to zoom in or out in any way. You are also very limited in feature from this perspective. If your son could wear this camera - that is one thing, but you would want a traditional camcorder if you are intending on video graphing from the sidelines. Hope this helps.
A: Hi Lemonz, the battery is charged within the camera via the supplied USB cable. We recommend using the BCTRX travel charger to charge the NPBX1 battery outside of the unit. Thanks_Mitch
Q: Does it come with remote control?
A: No, this camera does not include a remote control.
A: Hi! This is an action camera that supports different types of mount. -Anthony
