Lens Package Choice
Full-HD CMOS Sensors
(PMW-350K and PMW-320K only)
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 are equipped with three Exmor CMOS
The PMW-350K and PMW-320K models come equipped with an HD
lens with a standard bayonet interface. This lens features unique
focus operation, as described below:
• The lens is equipped with two independent focus wheel
mechanisms, which can be switched between Auto Focus mode
and Full Manual Focus mode by sliding the focus ring itself back
and forth.
• The MF Assist function helps to precisely focus on the target
subject when shooting in MF mode. In this mode, Auto Focus is
momentarily activated when the user stops adjusting the focus
ring.
sensors, which deliver superb picture performance with full-HD
resolution. The PMW-350 has a 2/3-inch-type image sensor, and
the PMW-320 has a 1/2-inch-type image sensor. Both sensors
provide an excellent sensitivity (F12 for the PMW-350 and F10
for the PMW-320), a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (59 dB for
the PMW-350 and 54dB for the PMW-320), and high horizontal
resolution of 1,000 TV lines*. These high-performance sensors
result in high-quality digital signals with extremely low noise. This
significantly enhances shooting in low-light environments.
Additionally, these large sensors can capture images with a
shallower depth of field, giving users more freedom of creative
expression.

Impressive Body Design
Designed to be very compact and ergonomically well balanced, the
PMW-350 and PMW-320 provide a high level of mobility and comfort
in various shooting situations. In particular, the main body of the
PMW-350 weighs only 7lb 1 oz (3.2 kg), and it is one of the lightest
shoulder camcorders with three 2/3-inch-type full-HD imagers.
These camcorders have a low center of gravity, ensuring
outstanding stability on the shoulder. The low-profile design
provides a wide space between the main frame of the camera
and the handle, and an unobstructed view to the right-hand side
of the camera operator. The position of the shoulder pad can be
adjusted to provide users with optimum weight balance even if the
camera is docked with any type of lens or camera adaptor.

ALAC (Automatic Lens Aberration Compensation)
Low Power Consumption
This feature decreases any chromatic aberration caused by the
lens*. ALAC is activated only with the supplied lens and with
certain third-party lenses that incorporate compensation data*.
* Please check with other lens manufacturers for ALAC support.
For the PMW-350 and PMW-320, power consumption is only 18 W*,
and they can operate for approximately 310 minutes on a fully
charged BP-GL95 battery pack.

23.98p Native Recording
Turbo Gain
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a native 23.98p* recording
capability. This feature, accompanied by other creative features,
makes the camcorder ideal for cinema production.
The gain can be chosen from a wide range of preset values
between -3 dB and +42 dB*.
* The range for the PMW-320 is between -3 dB and +24 dB.
* In 1440x1080/23.98p (SP) mode, images are handled as 23.98p and recorded
as 59.94i signals via 2-3 pull-down.
DVCAM Recording and Playback
To realize smooth migration from current SD operation to near-future
HD operation, the PMW-320 supports DVCAM format recording and
playback as the standard function. For the PMW-350, an optional
hardware key, the CBK-DV01, is required.
Slow & Quick Motion Function
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a Slow & Quick Motion function
that enables users to create unique ‘looks’ by slow- and fast-
motion effects. The camcorders can capture images at frame rates
selectable from 1 frame per second (fps) to 60 fps in 720p mode
and from 1 fps to 30 fps in 1080p mode, in increments of 1 fps.
For example, when viewed at 23.98p, images captured at 60 fps
appear two-and-a-half times slower than normal. Conversely,
images captured at 4 fps appear six times faster than normal.
With this function, images are recorded natively with no padded
frames and at full resolution.
Picture Cache Recording
With the Picture Cache Recording function, up to 15 seconds of
audio and video signals are buffered into the camcorder’s internal
memory even before the record start button is pressed. This helps to
prevent loss of any unexpected yet important events.
Freeze Mix Function
The Freeze Mix function superimposes a previously recorded image
on the viewfinder. This allows the operator to quickly and easily
frame or reposition a subject when a shot must be taken from the
same position, or in the same framework, as a previous take.
Slow Shutter Function
The maximum accumulation period is at a 64-frame shutter speed.
Selectable Gamma Curves
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a wide variety of gamma curves
to flexibly handle contrast, and give a specific ‘look’ to an image.
In addition to six types of standard gamma curves, there are four
types of Hyper Gamma which are identical to those on high-end
CineAlta™ camcorders.
Four-channel Audio*
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 come equipped with four channels
of 16-bit, 48-kHz, linear PCM uncompressed audio recording. Each
channel level can be controlled individually.
* When an SxS memory card with four-channel audio is replayed by the PMW-EX1,
PMW-EX1R, PMW-EX3, or PMW-EX30, only CH-1/2 or CH-3/4 can be replayed.
Interval Recording Function
Scene File System
The Interval Recording function intermittently records one frame
at pre-determined intervals. This is convenient for shooting over
long periods of time, and also when creating special effects with
extremely rapid motion.
The Scene File feature allows camera operators to easily call up
customized picture-tonal settings - such as the parameters of matrix,
detail, gamma, and knee - to suit particular shooting conditions. This
gives users greater operational efficiency. SxS memory cards can
be used for storing and loading scene files.
Frame Recording Function
The Frame Recording function is particularly useful for clay
animation shooting.
Viewfinder with 3.5-inch* Color LCD
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 have a large, easy-to-view, color
LCD with a high resolution of 1920 x 480 pixels, which simplifies
focusing. The viewfinder can also be used to instantly review
recorded footage, as well as access and view the camera’s set-up
menus, thumbnails, and status indications.
Both camcorders also have an interface
ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) and Hold
The Auto Tracing White Balance function automatically adjusts
the camera’s color temperature according to changes in lighting
conditions. If required, the user can hold auto tracing at a desired
color balance via an assignable switch.
for the DXF-20W, DXF-51, and
DXF-C50W**.
Image Inverter
* Viewable area measured diagonally.
With a DOF (Depth of Field) adaptor to attach a cinema or still-
camera lens to the camera, the image is rotated 180 degrees. This
Image Inverter function normalizes the image by reverse scanning.
** The supplied viewfinder and
DXF viewfinder cannot be used
concurrently.

HDMI
Acquisition Metadata (HD mode only)
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 are equipped with an HDMI connector.
As part of a variety of metadata, XDCAM EX camcorders have
a unique capability of recording camera parameters onto the
recording media while shooting - such as Focus, Zoom, Iris,
Shutter, Gain, White Balance and Gamma.
The supplied software Clip Browser V2.6 allows users to review
these acquisition metadata in viewing clips, which is useful as a
reference for the editing process or the next shooting.
50-pin Interface and Digital Extender Function
The CBK-CE01, a 50-pin interface option*, offers a Digital
Extender** function, which digitally doubles images in size. Unlike
lens extenders, this function virtually does not lose image
sensitivity, often referred to as the F-drop phenomenon.
* The CBK-CE01 is planned to be available in the end of November 2010, An
upgrade to activate the Digital Extender function is planned to be released at the
beginning of 2011.
Camera Remote Control
A Sony 8-pin remote interface is supplied with the PMW-350 and
PMW-320. Various camera settings can be remotely controlled
using an optional Remote Control Unit, RM-B150, or RM-B750, or
