Sony has announced a new accessory for DSLR cameras, the Sony CLM-V55 clip-on LCD monitor, which features a 5-inch WVGA display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
The Sony CLM-V55 is designed to give you a better view whilst you are shooting videos with your DSLR, and it can be easily attached to the majority of DSLRs with the included adapter.
The CLM-V55 is loaded with pro-style features to help photo enthusiasts and videographers shoot high-quality HD video footage with their Interchangeable Lens Digital camera.
Pixel magnification mode assists with accurate focus confirmation, giving an enlarged pixel-perfect view of a selected portion of the Full HD image.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
One of the standout features of the Sony CLM-V55 is its ability to provide an enhanced viewing experience for DSLR users. The 5-inch WVGA display ensures that users can see their footage clearly, even in bright outdoor conditions. This is particularly useful for videographers who need to ensure that their shots are perfectly framed and in focus. The high resolution of 800 x 480 pixels means that every detail is visible, making it easier to achieve professional-quality results.
The monitor also includes a sunshade hood, which can be attached to reduce glare and reflections when shooting in bright sunlight. This ensures that the display remains visible and usable in a variety of lighting conditions, making it a versatile tool for both indoor and outdoor shoots.
Professional Features for Advanced Users
The Sony CLM-V55 is not just about providing a better view; it also includes several professional features that make it a valuable tool for advanced users. One such feature is the pixel magnification mode, which allows users to zoom in on a specific portion of the image to check focus accuracy. This is particularly useful when shooting in Full HD, as it ensures that every detail is sharp and clear.
Another useful feature is the adjustable aspect ratio, which allows users to switch between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios depending on their shooting needs. This flexibility makes the CLM-V55 suitable for a wide range of video projects, from cinematic productions to social media content.
The monitor also includes an audio level meter, which provides real-time feedback on audio levels during recording. This is an essential feature for videographers who need to ensure that their audio is properly balanced and free from distortion.
The Sony CLM-V55 will go on sale in March 2011, as yet Sony hasn’t revealed how much it will retail for.
