INTRODUCT ION  
NXCAM Super 35mm Motion Picture Camcorder Providing  
Creative Expression in High Quality Video Production  
Sony's range of NXCAM® models now includes the NEX-FS100U interchangeable lens camcorder featuring  
a Super 35mm sensor. Developed specifically for shooting motion pictures, this high sensitivity, large format  
sensor is capable of producing footage with shallow depth of field similar to that of a film camera for a new  
level of expression.  
For even more creative flexibility, the NEX-FS100U also enables extended continuous recording and  
simultaneous recording of HD video footage for instant backup with an HXR-FMU128 Flash Memory Unit.These  
and other valuable features make this compact, high performance camera ideal for producing everything  
from low budget commercials, music videos and documentaries to wedding videos.

SENSOR  
"Exmor" Super35 CMOS Sensor for Shooting Motion Pictures  
Equipped with a large CMOS sensor equivalent in size to Super 35mm film, like that  
used in the PMW-F3, the NEX-FS100U enables shooting with similar creative depth of  
field as film cameras.  
The sensor also features an optimum number of effective pixels for shooting HD  
moving images.At a high 60fps in all-pixel scan mode, this allows images to  
be captured with less color aliasing, jaggedness and rolling shutter than DSLR  
cameras, while providing the sensitivity to shoot at a minimum illumination of  
0.28lux*1.Another advantage of Exmor® technology is minimal noise when shooting  
low-light scenes.  
* 1 When using a fixed shutter speed of 1/30, auto gain and an iris setting of F1.4  
The SEL18200 lens supplied with the NEX-FS100UK enables shooting in illumination as low as 1.5lux when  
using a fixed shutter speed of 1/30, auto gain and auto iris

INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES  
E-Mount Interchangeable Lens System  
The NEX-FS100U features the E-mount Interchangeable lens system.  
Sony's E-mount interchangeable lenses let you enjoy a level of creative freedom  
unimaginable with camcorders of the past.All feature precision-crafted optics  
with aspherical glass elements for compact high performance, and circular iris  
mechanisms for smooth background defocusing.The NEX-FS100UK comes with the  
SEL18200(E 18–200mm F3.5–6.3 OSS) lens which boasts 11x zoom power, a quiet AF  
motor for cleaner sound recording, and Optical Steady Shot® image stabilization with  
E-mount lens on  
the NEX-FS100U  
an advanced Active mode that lets you take steady handheld shots while walking  
around — even without a bulky stabilization rig.An ultracompact SEL16F28 wide-angle  
lens and SEL1855 3x zoom lens are also available.  
Thanks to the E-mount's short 18mm flange-back distance, using a mount adaptor  
allows shooting with a wide range of existing lenses. For example, with the optional  
LA-EA1 mount adaptor you can take advantage of the abundant A-mount lenses.  
In addition to Sony, there are four major lens manufacturers that will be producing  
compatible native E-mount lenses (available Summer 2011).

MODULAR DESIGN  
New Design Concept Providing the Flexibility for a Variety of Shooting Styles  
Featuring a compact, lightweight body with detachable grip, top handle, and viewfinder,  
the NEX-FS100U is ideal for a wide range of shooting situations.  
During hand-held shooting, the angle of the grip can be changed as desired,  
and start and stop recording with a button on the grip. Secondary record buttons  
are also available at two locations, at the top and in front of the camera body.  
There are 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch screw holes  
on both the handle and the bottom of the  
camera body for mounting various peripheral  
devices, plus three 1/4-inch holes on the top of  
the camera body. In addition, there is a tape  
measure hook and a focal plane marker for  
indicating the image sensor position.

Located on the optical axis, the 3.5-inch-type XtraFine™ LCD panel enables easier and more intuitive  
framing, especially during hand-held shooting.And the LCD panel can be rotated for stress-free  
operation when shooting low-angle scenes and digital signage footage. For easier and more precise  
focusing in daylight, the viewfinder comes with a detachable 1.2x magnifier.

CREAT ION  
1920x1080P Slow and Quick Motion  
Recording images at a different frame rate from that used for playback provides  
the extra versatility of slow and quick motion shooting. Furthermore, the NEX-FS100U  
enables Full HD (1920×1080) progressive slow and quick motion. Frame rates are  
selectable from 60fps, 30fps, 15fps, 8fps, 4fps, 2fps and 1fps. So, for example, when  
recording at 1080/24p, if the frame rate is set to 60fps, images are recorded in  
2.5 times slow motion.This means you can create impressive slow motion scenes  
without the need for troublesome editing.

FUNCTION  
Other Convenient Features  
Location Simplification with GPS Technology  
Expanded Focus  
A built-in GPS function automatically records location information at the time of a  
shoot to AVCHD™ files.The supplied Content Management Utility (CMU) Version 2.0  
software can also be used together with map service*.This enables easy confirmation  
of exactly where footage was shot, which is particularly useful for location shooting  
and when shooting overseas.  
Press a button and this enlarges the center of the displayed image by 2x, a  
particularly useful feature when making critical focusing adjustments.  
Histogram  
Onscreen display of a histogram enables easier exposure adjustment.The histogram  
also shows the point where the zebra pattern appears (the zebra point).This enables  
confirmation of overall brightness distribution and the brightness level set with the  
zebra function.As well as preventing overexposure, this is useful as a guide when  
aiming for optimum exposure of certain parts of an image, such as faces.  
Picture Profile™  
Six picture profile settings for different shooting conditions are provided as default  
settings. Selecting a picture profile for a particular scene offers an easy way to change  
image quality.  
Peaking  
A peaking function draws a defined line around the subject displayed in the LCD  
monitor and viewfinder. Peaking sensitivity and color (red, white, yellow) can be  
selected to enable more precise focusing.  
Last Scene Review  
Enables fast, one-touch confirmation of the last recorded scene without operating  
multiple buttons.  
*Map service requires PC with internet. Service provided  
by Google and subject to change without notice.  
Markers  
Center, aspect, safety zone, guide frame and other markers can be displayed  
on the LCD.  
Firmware Update  
Sony has implemented a firmware update scheme for future functions.
