30 GB Hard Disk Drive
With a built-in large-capacity 30GB Hard disk drive, it enables long time recording up to about 7 hours 20 minutes(in High Quality mode). This means that you can virtually not ever worry about the capacity, leaving you free to record as many movies and photos as you wish.
4.0 Mega Pixels Recording
Using a new image signal processing algorithm, the Enhanced Imaging Processor doubles the density of effective pixels from 2 Mega Pixels to 4 Mega Pixels, giving you high resolution still images
Enjoy Easy Connection , more control with less hastle with the new and smaller Active Interface Shoe (AIS). A feature special to Sony Handycam®, it enables accessories like Video Lights and Microphones to be easily and quickly connected.
The AVCHD format is a High Definition (HD) digital camcorder format for recording 1080i and 720p signals by using highly efficient codec technologies. It employs MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 codec for video compression, and Dolby Digital or Linear PCM for audio codec.
Bluetooth is a global de facto standard for wireless connectivity. Based on a low-cost, short-range radio link, Bluetooth cuts the cords that used to tie up digital devices. When two Bluetooth equipped devices come within 10 meters range of each other, they can establish a connection together.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens is a professional high-precision lens that uses the most advanced optical multi-layer coating to reduce unwanted flaring and ghosting on the final image.
Enjoy a wider dynamic range, smear-free images, high-sensitivity, high-speed processing and lower power consumption with Sony's ClearVid CMOS Sensor. The ClearVid CMOS Sensor improves on conventional CMOS and CCD sensors in 3 significant ways.
Colour Slow Shutter
With the new Colour Slow Shutter function, you can achieve low light recording in colour! Now your memories can be colourful even in the dark.
Capture audio from all directions and encode it in real-time to create 5.1ch. Surround Sound. This means you can sit back and let Sony’s Handycam® camcorders deliver a cinematic theatre experience right in the comfort of your living room.
While recording in “movie” mode, this function allows you to capture still images at 2.3 Mega Pixels. This is made possible by the combination of the Enhanced Imaging Processor handling huge amounts of pixel information read by the ClearVid CMOS Sensor.
The cutting-edge Enhanced Imaging Processor has been specially developed to maximise the CMOS Sensor's capabilities. Once light enters the lens, it enables high-resolution image recording through near instantaneous processing of enormous volumes of pixel data from the CMOS Sensor.
With High Definition (HD) 1080i recording, the effective scanning line is 1,080, which is more than twice the number in conventional standard definition (SD) format, and video data quality of High Definition 1080i recording is about 4.5 times more.
Sony Introduces the Hard Disc Drive For Mobile Electronics. This intelligent headunit with a Hard Disc Drive for extended music entertainment on the road.
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard.
High Quality Wide
14.3% Wider viewing Angle & up to 33% higher Resolution, as compared to non-mega recording in widescreen mode.
Lithium batteries allow far greater recording time than the previously used Ni-Cad options. What’s more, Lithium batteries can also be recharged at any time without causing any "memory effect".
New Intelligent Flash does not rely on a separate photo sensor to determine the exposure setting based on the aggregate illumination of the surrounding as the flash goes off.
Ultra-small and ultra-thin, Memory Stick makes storing and transferring your image easy. Available in various capacities. Memory Stick represents an inexpensive memory storage solution for recording and transferring digital data.
If you wish to back-up your movies onto DVD, simply connect the HDD Handycam to your PC using a USB cable and press the DVD BURN button. Immediately, the application prompts you for the next steps required to back-up your movies.
PictBridge™
Print without a PC! Simply connect the printer to a PictBridge-enabled digital camera or camcorder via a USB cable. Use the camera’s LCD display to select the images and input them onto the printer’s control panel and start printing.
Rec Start/Stop & Zoom Buttons on LCD
The following technology allows the user to have easy access to the record, start & stop feature as well as the zoom buttons on the LCD frame.
SteadyShot
Takes out minor picture jitter/shake. Optical SteadyShot uses a lens system, while electronic Steady Shot uses a larger CCD for increased image area and less shake.
Super NightShot
A built-in, infrared system that lets you capture video in monochrome recording from up to 10 feet away even in total darkness (0 lux). Super Night Shot also allows you to employ one of two Slow Shutter speeds to increase picture brightness, contrast and quality.
