4K (3840 x 2160) Recording
Using
the XAVC S codec, the FDR-X3000 can record UltraHD resolution 4K (3840 x 2160)
at 30p or 24p with bit-rates of 100 Mb/s or 60 Mb/s. Besides 4K, it can record
Full HD 1080p at 50 Mb/s in XAVC S and up to 28 Mb/s in the higher-compressed
MP4 mode
High-Frame-Rate Recording
Great
for dramatic portrayal of action scenes, in 1080p and 720p resolutions, the
FDR-X3000 is capable of recording high-frame-rate videos. Full HD 1080p video
can be recorded up to 120fps, which offers a 1/4-speed playback at a smooth
30fps. Step down to 720p resolution for 240fps recordings for 1/4-speed
playback at 60fps, or 1/8-speed playback at 30fps.
Built-In Balanced Optical SteadyShot
Originally
formulated for Sony's HandyCam line, Balanced Optical SteadyShot (or B.O.S.S.,
for short) doesn't compromise on the camera's full recording capabilities. The
lens itself moves to compensate for excess vibration in a shot, reducing motion
artifacts and enabling smoother, sharper videos.
Wi-Fi for Remote Monitoring and Operation
With
the PlayMemories Mobile (PMM) app, you can remotely control up to five Action
Cams from a single mobile device. The app allows you to view a live feed from
the camera, and the multi-view features means you can view up to five cameras
at once, or just select one and view it in full screen.
Controls available through the app include:
- Simultaneous
shutter release
- Simultaneous
recording start/stop
- Individual
monitoring and setting
Individual shutter

- Individual
recording start/stop
- Movie/still
mode switching
- Changing

- Start/stop
time-lapse recording
- Play
back and delete recorded clips
Highlight Movie Maker
So
that you don't have to spend time editing, the Highlight Movie Maker
automatically picks out what it deems to be the best moments, returning a
self-contained MP4 movie for easy sharing and upload. The Highlight Movie Maker
algorithm uses data from the gyro, scene color, smile detection, and other
settings to identify the best moments in all of the footage you have amassed.
You can even upload music from your computer to the Action Cam to add a custom
sound track
Stereo Microphone
Unlike
many action cameras, which have mono microphones, the FDR-X3000 features a
built-in stereo mic to help make audio as immersive as the picture.
Simple User Interface
Selecting
and changing features is a simple process with the simple and intuitive user
interface. All menus are easily accessible on the integrated LCD screen. The
camera can also be controlled as well as turned on or off via smartphone with
the PlayMemories Mobile app.
