series Large Lens Adaptor, it permits the viewfinder to be
mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder position
closer to the optical axis of the lens.
High picture quality and high performance
The new 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels
conforms to driving formats up to 1080/59.94P, achieving
high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the 14-bit A/D
converter and a unique signal-processing LSI provide
picture quality of optimal grade.
Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting
A new handle design has been adopted. A slight protrusion
of the upper front part of the handle enables stable holding
of the camera while you are shooting, by holding the front
part of the handle.
Furthermore, the movable range of a front-rear slide
mechanism for the viewfinder attachment has been
widened. Any difference in weight balance caused by
having a different lens attached can be counteracted by
adjusting the viewfinder attachment position, in
combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This
provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on
your shoulder.
Multiple formats
The HDC1500R covers ten video formats, HDC1550R
covers eight video formats, and HDC1400R and
HDC1450R covers two video formats. With the
HDC1500R, signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P from
the camera head is also possible via the Dual Link
interface.

Various color-reproduction functions
Position-adjustable shoulder pad
The position of the shoulder pad can be adjusted for stable
shooting according to the build of the camera operator, the
type of lens in use, or the shooting style.
A low-repulsion shoulder pad (position fixed) is available
as an option (Part No.: A-8286-346-A).
Selection of multiple gamma tables
Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables
are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values
enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic
range, which are different from those achieved with
conventional video gamma.
Function-assignable switches
HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application Software
The camera has a switch to which various functions can be
assigned on the side panel. You can activate your desired
function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion,
instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in
advance. Switches on the handle are also available as
function assignable switches.
Installing the HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application
Software enables the camera to support CvpFileEditor
and RGB4:4:4 outputs (HDC1500R only).
TM
For details, refer to the HZC-UG444 Operation Manual.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-axis matrix function, the camera
has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the
hue and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions
independently. This is quite useful in color matching
among multiple cameras.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation
function
The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
(ALAC) is provided with this camera. This automatically
reduces chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens
that supports auto aberration compensation is attached.
Knee saturation
Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in
highlighted areas can be compensated.
This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under
strong lighting.
For details on lenses supporting auto aberration
compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony
service representative.
Focus assist functions
Low key saturation
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
Hue and saturation in low-key zones can be compensated.
Thus, compensation for color reproduction in all zones is
enabled in combination with matrix color compensation
and knee saturation functions.
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal,
which can be added only on images on the viewfinder
screen in order to facilitate focusing in various situations:
Functions for coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the
VF detail signal by adding modulation, thickening the VF
detail signal, and automatically compensating the VF
detail level according to the zoom position.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function
This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of
the detail level for just a certain hue or chroma area in the
image, by creating a detail gate signal from color
components of your specified hue, such as skin tones.
The detail levels of three hues can be adjusted
independently at the same time.
Focus assist indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen
provides a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be
easily determined by observing fluctuation of the level
indicator as a guide.

Detail boost-frequency control
Prevention of electrical shock
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz.
This allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for
the subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply
from the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.
H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.

Precautions
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene
that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam
become directed into the lens of the camera.
Smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight
or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced
on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
Do not subject to severe shocks
Damage to the case or internal components may result.
Aliasing
When finished using
Set the power switch to OFF.
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
Operation and storage environment
Store in a level place with air conditioning.
If the unit gets wet, make sure it is completely dry before
storage.
Avoid use or storage in the following places:
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Places with high humidity
• Places with strong vibration
• Near strong magnetic fields

Note
For more information, refer to the lens’ operation manual.
With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be
constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue
components varies with the power supply frequency. This
phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the
electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are
certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In
particular, color flicker is evident when the power
frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power frequency is
50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second will
reduce the flicker.
When automatic white balance adjustment fails
If the white balance adjustment process does not end
successfully, the error message “AWB: NG” will be
displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three
seconds.
If this error message is displayed, try white balance
adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed after several
attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.
When there is no time to adjust the white balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance
will be set automatically according to the filter settings.
Selecting the shutter mode and speed
The shutter mode, and the shutter speed in standard mode,
are set using the SHUTTER switch.
About white balance memory
The white balance values stored in memory will be
preserved even when the camera power is turned off.
There are two white balance memories, A and B. When the

the color converted from the detail signal (color detail).
The focus setting where the detail signal becomes
strongest is the best focus setting.
To use the VF detail signal
Set VF DETAIL to ON to activate the VF detail
function to add the detail signal to sharp edges in the
image. You can adjust the signal level (strength) in the
range of 0 to 100% (default 25%).
