Product Description

Zoom brought unrivaled stereo sound to your movies with the Q3 Handy Video Recorder. Now, with the Q3HD, there's only one handheld camcorder that does it all in 1080p. The Q3HD Handy Video Recorder takes Zoom's renowned audio technology and combines it with HD video, allowing you to capture every moment with stunning clarity and resolution.

 

It's an HD World.

With the Q3HD, it's never been easier or more fun to shoot great videos. Select 720p or 1080p for amazing clarity and detail no matter where or what you're shooting. It also includes two standard definition (SD) formats for those times when a smaller file size is needed.

With a new lens and imaging sensor, the Q3HD captures exceptionally clean video that is compressed with the high quality H.264 video codec. It also has a larger aperture, which lets more light into your movies. And with its 4x digital zoom, the Q3HD gets you closer to the action.

 

Turn it sideways...

Zoom made on-the-go viewing better than ever with the Q3HD. Simply turn the camera on its side and press play. Watch your videos anywhere with its "widescreen" color LCD screen and built-in reference speaker.

Bring up the lights.

With the Q3HD, you can choose among three different lighting settings. This makes shooting video in challenging lighting conditions easy. For most situations, choosing "Auto" will give you the best, clearest results. You can also select "Concert Lighting", which will automatically adjust for rapid changes in stage lights and compensate when the stage goes dark. Choose "Night" for maximizing any available light in the lowest light conditions.

 

Sound makes the movie.

The Q3HD uses the same microphone capsules as Zoom's industry-leading H4n Handy Recorder. From live musical performances, rehearsals and recitals to journalism, education, sports or travel, the Q3HD's pristine audio is so realistic your movies will transport you back to the moment, to relive over and over again.

With two on-board, studio-quality condenser mics configured in a wide 120° X/Y pattern, the Q3HD gives you true depth and stereo imaging, making your movies sound as if they were recorded on a Hollywood soundstage.

The Q3HD also displays audio meters, allowing you to quickly monitor and set your levels. Set the gain to High or Low to record in soft or loud environments. Or use the Q3HD's Auto Level to automatically set the right recording level for any given situation. And now with two settings for Auto Level Gain Control, Zoom has made it easy to get great sound no matter what you're shooting. For outdoor shoots, we highly recommend using a windscreen over the mics (included with the optional APQ-3HD accessory pack).

 

Get intuitive.

The Q3HD sports a new icon-based user interface that makes navigating through all its functions easy and intuitive. Play your movies, select video and audio formats and a host of other functions, or delete unwanted files with ease.

 

Share your vision.

When your shoot is complete, the Q3HD's built-in USB cable lets you download your movies to your computer for editing and sharing. In addition, the Q3HD's new file divide function lets you edit your video right on the unit and save time by transferring only what you need.

Use the included HandyShare software to edit your movies. And you can now add effects like reverb and normalize the audio for consistent levels, making your movies sound even better. Or, bring them into more sophisticated editing software like iMovie or Final Cut for more extensive edits, effects and titles.

HandyShare can also be used to upload your videos to YouTube. And because the Q3HD includes an HDMI output, you can watch your movies at home on your HDTV. And the Q3HD's incredible audio will sound amazing on your home theater setup.

Applications

 

HD matters to YouTube musicians.

With the Q3HD, there's never been an easier way to promote your music. Now, all your videos will look amazing and sound like they were recorded in a professional studio. Classical to metal, solo to full orchestra, the Q3HD is ideal for shooting any kind of musical performance and sharing it with the world.

 

Accelerate the learning curve.

Music educators and students alike know that seeing and hearing your performance helps you play better. And because the Q3HD is so small, you can place it anywhere to focus on something specific, like a fingering or bowing technique. From the classroom to the practice room, educators and students will find the Q3HD is ideal for recording auditions or making video lessons.

 

Get personal.

There's never been a smaller HD camera that sounds as good as the Q3HD. For videographers, this means there's an amazing array of options for incorporating Q3HDs into your setup. Imagine using a Q3HD to capture unique moments that are unscripted. This footage, with outstanding video and audio quality, will make any wedding video even more personal and intimate.

 

Sports Center in HD.

Stay close to all the sports action with videos that look and sound amazing. Capture all the details with incredible depth and sound that will make you want to relive every touchdown, homerun or slam-dunk again and again.

 

Live, from your HD World.

Journalists and bloggers will love the Q3HD for its ability to gather both pristine video and audio in the field. On-the-scene video, interviews, events - just about anything can be effortlessly shot, edited and uploaded with broadcast-ready video and audio. And because the Q3HD has a standard tripod mount, you can use common video accessories with ease.

 

Your personal HD travel channel.

World-travelers... the Q3HD is a "must pack" on your next excursion. No other HD camcorder can match the movies you'll shoot with the Q3HD. With sound and picture so realistic, you'll be seeing the sights all over again, just like taking a return trip! For shooting outdoors, you'll want to use a windscreen...

 

HD Movies... Out of the box.

The Q3HD is packaged with everything you need to make your movies right out of the box. It includes a 2GB SD card, HandyShare editing software and two AA batteries.
