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.
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.
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.
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.
Reduce blurry footage even at higher shake and vibration frequencies. Optical stabilization achieves a higher level of smoothness without the video degradation that mars some digital stabilization systems.
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.
The camcorder supports x.v.Colour, a revolutionary technology that accurately captures every shade and colour nuance for incredible true-to-life quality. Your entertainment experience will be changed forever as you enjoy a world full of rich and vibrant colours.
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.
6.1 Mega Pixels Still Imaging Recording
Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
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.
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.
Experience one-stop connectivity with the Handycam Station (supplied), which charges the Camera even while it’s linked to a TV or PC, ensuring that it's always easily accessible and fully charged.
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard.
Hi-Speed USB
Using the USB cable to connect the camcorder to the PC, it is possible to transfer recorded footage to the PC's Hard Disk Drive at high speed. In this way, playback, editing and creation of DVDs is fast and easy.
Dual Record
This function allows you to capture still images at 4.6 Mega Pixels even when recording in Movie mode. This is made possible by the combination of the Enhanced Imaging Processor handling huge amounts of pixel information read by the ClearVid™ CMOS Sensor.
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.
