Capture hours of action on HDD or Memory Stick media. Then share every exciting moment with friends and family.

This convenient Hybrid function lets you record video footage and still images on your choice of HDD or Memory Stick media. The 60GB HDD stores up to around 41 hours and 50 minutes of MPEG2 video in the 3M (LP) mode or around 14 hours and 40 minutes in the 9M (HQ) mode. Thanks to the nature of non-linear media, you don’t have to worry about over-writing recorded footage: new data is automatically written in blank, unrecorded space on the HDD. Moreover, you can immediately watch or erase newly recorded footage without rewinding. Just press the desired thumbnail on the touch panel LCD.

The Hybrid design of the DCR-SR220E gives you extra flexibility. You can record video footage and still images on the HDD, Memory Stick, or both media. And you can transfer recorded files from the HDD to Memory Stick Easy "dubbing" within your Handycam® Recorded images and movies on the HDD can easily be copied to Memory Stick media. Using various "dubbing" functions, you can copy specific scenes, all recorded footage registered in the playlist, or footage shot on certain dates. Now it's easier than ever to share image and video highlights with your family and friends. Note: Sony recommends using Memory Stick media of at least 512MB capacity for SD video recording. * With or without Mark2 indication

Backing up your original footage for future viewing with your friends and family is extremely easy. You can use the One Touch Disc Burn button on the camcorder (or connected Handycam® Station) to quickly burn a DVD on a connected PC or linked DVDirect DVD recorder. With a single press, it only burns new footage shot since the last disc was burned. Or use Easy PC Backup to transfer content from the camcorder to the HDD of a connected PC. Only files recorded since your last backup are transferred. You can later export footage back to the DCR-SR220E by using the Write-back function of supplied Picture Motion Browser software.

Should the DCR-SR220E be dropped or knocked, HDD Smart Protection helps protect the HDD and your important footage via three protective measures. A unique shock absorber around the HDD helps absorb the energy of impact. An advanced 3G sensor disengages the HDD read/write head to help prevent scratches when it detects a loss of gravity. And a drop stream buffer stores footage that the DCR-SR220E continues to record. Once drop-detection has been cleared, the HDD is re-engaged and content is transferred from the buffer to the HDD to help ensure seamless, uninterrupted footage.

Note: HDD Smart Protection does not guarantee prevention of HDD breakage.
