This camera has been superceded by the DCR-TRV330.
DCR-TRV320
The First Multimode Re-Enabled Sony Niteshot Digital Camcorder!
Regular Mode, Niteshot Mode and Stealth Niteshot (X-Ray) Mode.
We have just successfully re-enabled a Digital 8 (D-8) Sony DCR-TRV320 Camcorder which has some very useful features such as a Memory Stick and Firewire (IEEE 1394). The DCR-TRV320 can play 8mm, Hi-8 and D-8 tape formats.
This modification is much more difficult to achieve than the TR517 and TRV67 camcorders because the IR blocking filter is also a lens. When the camera goes into Niteshot mode, the camera adjusts not only the aperture but also the focus to compensate. We believe we are the first to figure out how to completely reverse the lens-type IR blocking filter camera. Our modification has a few unusual features:
- Camera may be used in normal factory modes - Regular and Niteshot.
- Camera may be used in Stealth Niteshot mode with full aperture and focus control. In Stealth Niteshot mode, the camera can film IR in broad daylight with no overexposure problems or focus problems.
- Camera has two additional switches installed. A Niteshot bypass and focus recalibration button
- Camera can do extreme macro photography to front surface of camera.
To put the camera into Stealth Niteshot mode, you must press a 4 button sequence. The sequence bypasses Niteshot recognition and recalibrates the focus. Once the camera has been recalibrated, the camera will have full functionality in Normal, Niteshot and Stealth Niteshot until the camera has been powered off. When the camera is powered back on, the factory settings will restore and the camera will operate normally until you recalibrate.
Since this camera requires two additional switches installed, if the camera does need service, Sony will probably not want to honor their warranty. We don't have any warranty other than we guarantee the camera works exactly as advertised, is a new camera and will function perfectly out of the box. In reality, the Sony warranty is only 90 parts and labor, and then they start charging and have a high minimum charge anyhow. We think you will enjoy this camera for many years and want to make sure you fully understand our product.
