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.

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.
