- The worldÂ’s first HDV1080i consumer level video camera and player to include 3 CMOS Sensors. Now you can record all your memories in Full HD 1080.
- Three 1/4 inch ClearVID CMOS Sensors with 1,120K effective pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video and still image performance. The Megapixel technology enhances your digital videos and digital still photography performance.
- Capable of recording and playing back both High Definition and Standard Definition video recorded on standard MiniDV cassettes.
- A Sony developed Real Time MPEG Encode/Decode system with reduced energy consumption and compact size to fit inside a personal video camera provides efficient MPEG2 compression, recording and playback of clear HD images at the same bit rate of the DV format so that High Definition video can be recorded on the same cassettes as are used for MiniDV recording.
- The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens provides a high quality 20x optical zoom which maintains image clarity and color while reducing glare and flare. The Digital Extender mode is available throughout the entire zoom range and will digitally enhance the zoom up to 1.5 times the current position.
- Dual independent Zoom and Focus rings provide precise and detailed control over the amount of zoom and the overall focus of the image with just a turn of the rings. Fast, intuitive framing when zooming, and finely detailed focusing is easy with the natural feel of the rings.
- SonyÂ’s SteadyShot Image Stabilization system controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies. This optical stabilization system achieves an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some digital stabilization systems.
- A 3.5 inch wide LCD provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 211 000 pixel display makes images sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring recording. The hybrid LCD screen provides accurate viewing in sunlight or bright light, virtually eliminating the "washout" common with traditional LCD screens.
- With Expanded Focus Indicator the camera‘s LCD image is magnified, temporarily, up to 4X its original size without any loss of distortion. This allows the user more finite control while focusing the camera for greater detail and clarity.
- Picture Profile allows the user to set manual adjustments for a scene, Color, sharpness, white balance and more into any one of six presets so they can be called up at just the touch of a button. Useful when shooting under the same conditions repeatedly as options do not have to be re-set each time. Settings for various shooting conditions are offered as defaults.
- Selectable Exposure / Iris Control Allows you to adjust the amount of light entering the lens. By adjusting exposure, brightness of the image is adjusted in accordance with the Iris and gain (shutter speed is locked). The Iris control allows the volume of light to be adjusted (Shutter Speed and Gain are adjustable)
- Capture still images up to 1440x810 resolution directly onto Memory Stick Duo cards for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing or sharing with other compatible devices. While recording video in High Definition you have the ability to capture a 1.2 Megapixel still image directly to Memory Stick card.
- Six buttons on the exterior of the video camera are user-assignable so that they can be set to the options most commonly utilised, for ease of recording.
- At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the video camera is turned off. The display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10% increments and the approximate recordable time left when using the LCD screen or the viewfinder.
