| Features: |
| * CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Senor | 3 - 1/6" CMOS sensors provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. Unlike traditional CCD Imagers CMOS Imagers require less power, providing better battery performance. | | * MiniDV Recording | Offers up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, 3X the color bandwidth and a significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide spectacular video performance. | | * 10X Optical/120X Digital Zoom | The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms. | | * Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens | Carl Zeiss® lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones. | | * Progressive Shutter System | A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition. | | * Analog To Digital Conversion with Pass-Through | Convert and/or record any analog NTSC video source to digital video via the analog inputs. Analog NTSC video can also be passed through the digital Handycam Camcorder directly into a PC via the i.LINK® interface in real-time for easy PC editing of your analog footage. | | * SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System | Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera “shake" without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems. | | * 2.7" Wide Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ Hybrid LCD Display1 (123K Pixels) | Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 16:9 format high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. | | * Handycam® Station | The supplied Handycam® Station provides quick and easy connections to a TV for viewing or to a PC for editing and sharing video.

Images shot in the Tele Macro Mode will have the subject properly focused with the background unfocussed so that the subject stands out. | | * Active Interface Shoe | Provides a location directly on the camcorder on which to add optional accessories while providing power and two-way communication to those accessories. | | * Assignable Manual Dial | Built into the lens body of the camera, the assignable dial can be used not only for focus or exposure, but may also be customized by the user to controlAE Shift and playback volume. | | * Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes | Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations.

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 assignable dial 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. |
