Carl Zeiss Lens
Professional-grade precision glass optics providing exceptional detail and clarity while also reducing non-desirable effects such as flaring and ghosting. Carl Zeiss lenses are synonymous with top performance and smooth operation.
10 x Optical -, 120 x Digital zoom
The powerful optical zoom uses physical manipulation of the lens� focal length to put you 10x closer to your subject than when shooting in the wide angle position, with no loss of image quality. Additional digital zoom then lets you increase what you�re able to see by enlarging the image a further 12x on the CCD.
Precision Colour Viewfinder
By using 180k pixel viewfinder, a full clear view of video subjects with fine detail and full clarity is guaranteed.
Steady Shot
Utilizes Sony�s precision CCD technology in combination with built-in motion sensors to eliminate unwanted shake in your picture. Sony�s unique system uses lens mounted motion sensors to detect camcorder motion and over-sized CCD chips to bring unheard of smoothness to your footage.
Hybrid 2.5� LCD screen
A hybrid screen system is created from a combination of transmissive and reflective Liquid Crystals. The transmissive LCD operates via the back-light as with usual LCDs. However, if the back-light is turned off in bright sunlight, the reflective LCD captures and reflects ambient light allowing you to view the screen. The combination of systems allows you to comfortably view the LCD under all lighting conditions, and can also be used to save on battery power.
USB Terminal
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a computer industry standard that is designed to simplify interconnection between digital equipment such as A/V devices and computers. It makes quality, higher-volume data transfer possible between your camcorder and PC, printer or other equipped devise via a simple, one cable (supplied) connection.
Analogue in/out
Increasing your creative possibilities, analogue in/out makes it possible to connect your camcorder to a range of analogue devices. Once connected you�re able to edit sounds and images between the two and produce original films with a personal touch. Also lets you preserve your analogue library by copying it onto a digital format.
Memory Stick Slot
Means Sony Memory Stick compatible. Sony�s new digital storage medium Memory Stick allows super flexible storage of still or moving images, as well as digital audio and other text or command information. Memory Stick provides a quick and easy transfer of your digital from camcorder to any PC, to editing device, to printer, to display system and back again.
I.Link (MICROMV in/out)
Allows high speed, bi-directional exchange of digital data with a PC or between two MICROMV devices equipped with i.LINK interfaces (IEEE1394-based). This digital-to-digital connection lets you transfer large amounts of A/V information at high-speed with no loss in quality. The MICROMV-in function makes it possible to save your edited movies back onto a tape in your MICROMV camcorder.
Advanced 'HAD' CCD Technology
High quality Advanced HAD design CCD imager that reduces noise in the video signal to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 6db (2x better than a standard CCD). Particularly effective when shooting in dark situations.
Multi Picture Search
The MICROMV camcorders record scenes in files and automatically save a 0.8 second still photo at the beginning of each take. This allows easy drag and drop editing of your footage and provides a convenient thumbnail index to cue and review your shots quickly.
Progressive Shutter System
Sony�s Mechanical shutter system that utilises an interlace scanning system to provide outstanding imaging performance. Scanning the CCD image sensor in one pass provides sharp, clear excellently defined images without the typical artefacts found in other interlacing systems. Ideal for still pictures, it ensures image quality is always at an utmost.
