GY-HD250 

ProHD Compact Shoulder Camcorder (HDV/DV Input/output)

Professional specifications

HDV and DV compatible

As the HDV format uses the same recording track pitch as Professional
DV, the GY-HD250 can record signals in either standard or high
definition according to the user’s needs.

True 24p recording

The GY-HD250 is a professional high-definition camcorder featuring
real HD 24p recording capability — previously available on only the
most expensive HD cameras. Ideal for DVD production, HD
progressive 24-frame-per-second recording makes it possible to shoot
images with film-like quality and smooth motion. Once recorded, those
images can easily be transferred without frame rate conversion to 16
mm or 35 mm film with full HD fidelity.
ProHD’s outstanding image quality is supported by a wide range of
powerful features including an image inverse function that cancels
image reversal (reversal of top/bottom and left/right) and a Film out

mode function that automatically adjusts the gamma curve and color
matrix to give images a filmic look. 

Three preset gammas (Standard, Cinema for a film-like setting and

Film out for the optimal imagery of a film camera) are available to
choose from depending on the purpose. Combined, these features
make this camcorder ideal for digital film productions.

Interchangeable HD lenses

The GY-HD250 features a standard professional 1/3" bayonet lens
mount, giving you the ability to use a variety of other professional HD
lenses. In addition to the standard detachable 16x servo Fujinon lens, a
wide range of options are available, including a 13x (3.5 mm) wide
zoom lens, 18x Fujinon zoom lens, 20x Canon zoom lens, a wide
angle converter for the standard 16x lens, and adapters that allow 1/2"
and 2/3" bayonet mount lenses to be used.

And when you add film lens mount adapter to the 1/3" bayonet

mount, you can even mount 16mm film camera lenses on the GY-
HD250, greatly expanding your production lens options.
