Smart features for smart filming
Rely on Sony innovations to help you capture your content in the best possible way. Our advanced AI processing engine can recognize human subjects, while the fast hybrid AF system tracks your subject and always focuses precisely. The electronic, ND-adjustable ND filter lets you achieve the best exposure for your shots, in a wide range of lighting conditions, or the Auto Neutral Density function automatically sets the optimum exposure for you.

Reliable streaming and remote operation
Built-in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, in conjunction with our paid apps C3 Portal or XDCAM Pocket, enables easy, high-quality streaming directly from the camera. Remote control via our Monitor and Control* app allows you to check angles and monitor footage from your smartphone or tablet. The NX800 is ideal for single users who want a simple, fast workflow.
* 5 GHz communication may be restricted in some countries and regions.
** Monitor + Control is available for free in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Exmor routing switcher 1.0" CMOS sensor
The NX800 features a large Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with approximately 14.0 megapixels (effective) of type 1.0, which is unrivaled for a compact camcorder. Its unique stacked structure - with backlit pixels layered over integrated signal processing circuitry - enables both faster readout speeds and better low-light performance as more light reaches the sensor.

BIONZXR image processing
The latest generation BIONZ XR image processor built into the image sensor enables higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) control and excellent noise reduction. It gets the maximum out of the high-resolution image sensor and effortlessly captures the finest structures and details. 5K oversampling with full pixel readout condenses the rich image information into stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) 60p video.

Improved white balance accuracy
The NX800's ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) control has been further developed together with the BIONZ XR and AI functions. The camera's AI processing module enables more precise ATW control, even in difficult lighting conditions such as when the subject is in shadow.

Advanced AI processing module for next-generation AF
A special AI processing module that works with the BIONZ XR uses deep learning based on human silhouette and posture data to recognize people with high precision. The fast hybrid AF system provides 81% wide coverage to better support real-time subject detection AF and tracking. The NX800 can effortlessly track and focus on subjects no matter where the subject is in the frame.

Auto Framing*
With Auto Framing enabled, the camera automatically tracks a detected human subject and adjusts the framing so that the subject is always well positioned in the frame. The resulting video recording can look as if a human user had manually adjusted the framing throughout the recording - even though the camera was actually stationary the whole time. Solo users can focus on the conversation with the interviewee without having to constantly check the camera position.
* 4K video recordings are cropped, resulting in a narrower angle of view.

4K120fps* for breathtaking slow-motion video recordings
The high readout speed of the Exmor RS sensor enables 4K High Frame Rate (HFR) recordings at up to 120 frames per second and FHD at 240 frames per second. Achieve quadruple slow motion in 4K at 30p or quintuple slow motion at 24p. Whatever you choose, the high-speed AF ensures that your subject is always in focus. Slow motion + time-lapse** are supported for shooting at up to 4K 120fps and FHD 240fps.
* With approx. 23% crop. 100fps/200fps in PAL mode. Please refer to the user manual for minimum memory card requirements to ensure correct operation. Please note that this image was taken with the PXW-Z200.
** Sound is not recorded in slow motion and time lapse; time lapse.

Advanced image stabilization
Minimize the effects of camera shake with built-in image stabilization. Active Mode* image stabilization ensures smooth, stable video recordings. Optical and electronic stabilization work together to make hand-held shooting effortless and smooth.
* Slight image cropping in Active Mode. Active Mode is not available when shooting at a frame rate of 120 (100) fps or higher, including S+Q.

Built-in electronically adjustable ND filter
The electronically adjustable ND filter can be seamlessly adjusted to suit different lighting conditions. With a simple dial, you can choose between 1/4 and 1/128 Neutral Density or rely on the Auto Neutral Density function to maintain optimal exposure. This is particularly useful when switching quickly between indoor and outdoor scenes.

Precise LCD monitor and OLED viewfinder
The new 3.5-type LCD monitor with approx. 27.6 million pixels and excellent brightness and sharpness makes it easier to monitor and focus on subjects. The monitor can be tilted up and down as well as backwards so that you can easily set a comfortable viewing angle. The supplied LCD sun visor can be easily attached by sliding it into the grooves on the top and bottom of the LCD monitor. The monitor can also be folded for storage with the sunshade attached.

The high-contrast 0.39-type OLED viewfinder screens out ambient light and boasts approximately 23.6 million pixels for a clear, uninterrupted view.

Compact design and storage
The EVF and LCD panel can be easily folded for storage of this lightweight 4K camera. The NX800 (Body only) weighs only about 1.93 kg (4 lb 4.1 oz.) and measures 175.6 mm (7″) x 201.3 mm (8″) x 371.1 mm (14″ 5/8) (WxHxD), but when stored, these dimensions reduce to 175.6 mm (7″) x 175.4 mm (7″) x 285.1 mm (11″ 1/5) (WxHxD)*. The microphone holder can be detached from the camera to improve mobility.
* Without lens hood, microphone holder and large eyecup.

Flexible camera control
The NX800 has been designed to be flexible and adaptable to your individual preferences and workflows.two independent focus/zoom control rings [1]* and two aperture/ND variable dials [2] are located side by side for effortless control of exposure, focus and zoom. The NX800 also has 12 assignable buttons (ASSIGN 1-11 [3] and FOCUS PUSH AUTO button [4]) that allow you to control almost all camera functions.
* Aperture control will be assignable to a control ring in June 2025 or later.

AUTO / MANUAL switch
If shooting conditions suddenly interfere with your plans, you can automatically adjust settings and maintain ideal brightness and white balance with a single switch. The AUTO setting activates the auto ND filter, auto iris, auto gain control, auto shutter and auto white mode.

Cinema and broadcast-based looks
Achieve the look of professional broadcast or film productions with ease. You can use presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild and HLG Natural and then adjust black, matrix and other parameters as desired. You can easily color match your video footage to content shot with other Sony broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.

Multiple recording options
The NX800 offers a variety of recording formats specifically for your individual project requirements. For the highest quality, XAVC S-I with 10-bit 4:2:2 4K (QFHD) recording uses post-production friendly intra-frame H.264. XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) offer a choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for longer recording times and file efficiency. XAVC HS proxy recordings at up to 16 Mbps can be recorded simultaneously with higher bitrate formats. These smaller proxy files can then be used for editing and previewing before final production delivery.

These camcorders are of interest to these target groups:
First of all, for anyone who prefers this form factor to a DSLM and does not necessarily need full format

Primarily for the broadcast sector with all its video journalists (zoom, sensor, form factor, network functions, Lanc, audio settings, codec, timecode)

For the government, security agencies and wildlife filming sectors thanks to the IR night vision function and the 20x optical zoom, which can be extended to 40x (clear zoom)

For schools and universities or all educational institutions in general, who want to teach all classic video functions

For industrial filming - even in business, very few people want to read instructions and prefer to watch films

There will certainly be one or two hobby film makers

Wedding film makers who also use larger camcorders as a marketing tool to sell their services at a higher price

Anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time with the technology and settings (all auto functions: AF, tracking, framing, ND, ISO, audio)
