The Professional Picture Quality You Demand 3CCD Camera SystemThe DSR-PD170 incorporates three 1/3-inch type CCDs, each with380,000 pixels, and the DSR-PD170P incorporates three 1/3-inch typeCCDs, each with 450,000 pixels. The 1/3-inch size CCDs contributeto the high sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio. These CCDs arecapable of interlace scan to acquire moving images and progressive*2 scan to capture still images.

Advanced HAD ™ Technology
Advanced HAD technology reduces fixed pattern noise and vertical
smear, thus allowing the camera to achieve a high sensitivity and
excellent signal to noise ratio.
Low Light Shooting
The minimum illumination has been improved from 2lx for the
DSR-PD150/PD150P to 1lx thanks to the use of an enhanced noise-
reduction process.
Optical 12x Zoom Lens
The optical 12x zoom lens* 3 allows the DSR-PD170 to maintain picture
quality even at high zoom ratios.
*3 Digital zoom of 24x or 48x can also be achieved by the proper menu selection.
Optical Super SteadyShot ® System
The DSR-PD170 employs the Super SteadyShot system, in which
horizontal and vertical movements are detected independently by the
sensors. The prism system located behind the lens adjusts and
optically compensates for unsteady camera handling, while maintaining image quality.
Large 180,000-dot LCD Precision Black & White Viewfinder
The 0.44-inch* 4
type black and white LCD viewfinder provides 500 lines
of horizontal resolution. In addition, a large-sized eyecup is used, and
the window size of the magnifier has also been enlarged. This allows
easier focusing and more comfortable use of the viewfinder.
