User Scene Files

Store specific camera settings in built-in

memory, then retrieve them when

needed for quick, easy setup. Four files

with settings can be stored in the

camera's memory. Files can also be

copied onto an SD Memory Card,

allowing storage of up to eight files. 

Customized User Buttons

Three user buttons are provided. Assign a function to each, and

then you can select those functions with pushbutton ease. You

can also customize the on-screen menu with the items you use

most often, and display them by simply pressing a button. One of

the three user buttons can be isolated as a USER MAIN button

for easy blind-touch operation.

Prerecording Function

The AJ-HDX900 is ready to catch sudden, spontaneous scenes

you might otherwise miss. When the camera is in standby mode,

the prerecording function continually stores in memory up to 7

seconds (presettable) of the most recent video and audio material

entering the camera. When you press the REC button, that

material is recorded onto the tape before real-time recording

begins.

Interval Recording and One-Shot Recording

The interval REC function records at preset intervals, which is

useful in monitoring or observation applications, or when you

want to create a frame-by-frame effect. 

Use the One-shot REC function, which starts recording each time

you press the REC button, to create claymation and other

special-effect productions.

On-Screen Menu

The AJ-HDX900 features the same easy-to-use menu layout that

was so popular in the AJ-SDX900. You can customize the menu

and create a unique user menu that displays the items you use

most often.

Electronic Shutter with "Half-Speed" and Syncro-Scan

plus "Half-Speed" (180 degree) slow and synchro-scan capability.

Lightweight, Well Balanced Body

The AJ-HDX900 offers a lightness in operation that is not entirely

reflected in its 9.9-lb (4.5-kg) weight. Designed specifically to

provide excellent balance while shooting, it doesn't become front-

heavy when equipped with lens, battery, and wireless receiver.

Camera work is comfortable because the AJ-HDX900 maintains a

natural, horizontal position when held on the shoulder or lifted by

the handle. The body height is also minimized to give the operator

a clear view front and rear.

Designed for Ease of Operation

The position, function, and shape of all switches, dials and

terminals have been designed in response to feedback from video

professionals to allow quick

operation and prevent errors for

greater reliability.

• The Audio Rec level adjustment

features a push lock function.

• The Audio Input level adjustment

(front) can be switched ON/OFF

and allocated to desired

channels. 

• The Easy-Slide Shoulder Pad can

be slid with one hand, and

securely locked in position.

• A 3-point locking viewfinder

mount allows precise adjustment.

Power-Save Management (SAVE REC) Function

This function reduces power consumption during recording to a

low 36 watts by interrupting playback-related circuits. 

Enhanced Camera Functions and Specifications

• Displays a zebra pattern for contrast adjustment, auto white

balance setting, and color bar output.

• One touch of the mode check button displays the camera

settings for easy confirmation.

• Displays markers for 4:3 screen (side cut) indication to let you

check the trimming while shooting in SD.

• ND filter (CLEAR, 1/4ND, 1/16ND, 1/64ND) and CC filter (Cross,

3200K, 4300K, 6300K).

• Rec Review function for easy checking of recorded results

• Quick response: enters standby mode about 3 seconds after

the power is turned on; begins recording in about 0.5 second (2

seconds in Power Save mode).
