With DVD RW media there is not a need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required). Simply remove the disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD Player. | * InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System1: Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD Screen. | * Picture Package™ Software: Easily organize still images and video, and turn them into stunning music videos using the supplied software. | * Super NightShot® Plus INFRARED System: With Sony's Super NightShot INFRARED System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light.

The Display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10% increments and the recordable time left when using the LCD Screen or in the viewfinder. | * Manual Focus: Allows the user to manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's Auto Focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment. | * Easy Handycam Button: Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out" leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational. |
