Impressive Body Design
Designed to be very compact and ergonomically well
balanced, the PMW-350 provides a high level of mobility
and comfort in various shooting situations. It inherits these
qualities from the XDCAM HD 422 camcorders, which are
well accepted by broadcasters and post production houses.
In addition, it has 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 main
body weighs only 3.2 kg (7 lb 1 oz), and it is one of the
lightest shoulder-mount camcorders with three 2/3-inch
full-HD imagers.
Three 2/3-inch-type Exmor Full-HD
CMOS Sensors
The PMW-350 is equipped with three newly developed
2/3-inch-type Exmor CMOS sensors, each with an effective
pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V). These deliver superior
picture performance with full-HD resolution. This 2/3-inch-
type image sensor allows the camcorder to provide an
excellent sensitivity of F12, a remarkable signal-to-noise
ratio of 59 dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 1000 TV
lines.* In addition, the large 2/3-inch-type image sensors
can capture images with a shallower depth of field, giving
users more freedom of creative expression.
*In HD-SDI, HQ 1080 mode.
Low Power Consumption
There is no fan motor to ventilate the inside of the body,
and power consumption is only 15W*.
*Camcorder body only, in recording mode.

Lens Package Choice
There are two different models of the PMW-350. One is the
PMW-350K, which comes equipped with an HD lens with
16x zoom. The other is the PMW-350L, which comes without
a lens. Both models have a standard 2/3-inch bayonet
lens mount, and the user can choose from a wide variety
of optional lenses in the existing 2/3-inch HD lens lineup.
Unique Focus Operation –
Professional Manual Focus and Auto Focus
The supplied lens for the PMW-350K adopts a unique focus
ring mechanism, which offers two types of manual focus,
plus auto focus operation. The lens is equipped with two
independent focus wheel mechanisms, which can be
switched by sliding the focus ring forward and back.
When the focus ring is in the forward position, the lens
works in the same way as a typical auto focus lens. The
operator can select either Manual or Auto Focus mode
using the AF/MF switch on the lens. When the focus ring
is in the back position, the lens has an absolute focus
position, which is a familiar feature to professional users.
