Color LCD Monitor
The HVR-A1N includes a 2.7-inch type color LCD monitor with
a high resolution of approx. 123,200 pixels, which allows the
input source to be viewed during recording or the playback
picture to be checked on location in a widescreen aspect ratio
of 16:9. This large screen is also helpful in setting menus or
audio recording levels, as well as monitoring the camera and
audio status. The hybrid LCD monitor used in the camcorder
combines the characteristics of both transmissive and
reflective LCD panels, providing clear viewing even in bright
daylight conditions as well as in dark conditions.
This LCD monitor also provides touch-panel control for easy
operations.

Variety of Zoom Operation
The HVR-A1N provides four types of zoom control functions
to offer diverse shooting styles:
● “Zoom lever” located on the camera body
● “Zoom/focus ring” located on the lens body – allows fine
adjustments in zoom position
● “Zoom buttons” located on the LCD monitor – convenient
for low-angle shooting
● Supplied wireless Remote Commander unit
Exposure Lever
The HVR-A1N enables exposure control both manually and
automatically. The Exposure Lever provides two types of
exposure control:
● Manual exposure control to manually change exposure
settings using the Exposure Lever.
● AE (Auto Exposure) Shift function to adjust AE level by 15
steps using the Exposure Lever, while the AE mode is
activated, for more accurate automatic exposure settings.
Tele Macro
The Tele Macro function allows operators to capture a macro
image from a distance, which is especially useful for shooting
small moving objects. With this function, close-up images can
be shot without the camcorder casting a shadow on the
subject. In addition, the image of the subject is shot in proper
focus, while the background is unfocussed, allowing the
subject to stand out.
New Backlight Compensation
The new Backlight Compensation function allows the
HVR-A1N to produce natural and rich tones for both light and
dark areas of an image under backlight conditions.
Conventional systems of backlight compensation tend to
make the details in light areas sacrificed, but the new
Backlight Compensation function of the HVR-A1N can deliver
superior images with a very wide dynamic range by increasing
only the brightness of dark areas while properly retaining the
brightness of light areas.
