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.
One of the rewritable DVD standards that the DVD Forum has authorized and has almost the same specifications as DVD-ROM. DVD-RW features the easy playback of its contents with DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives as is the case with WORM type of DVD-R.
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.
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.
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard.
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.
I.LINK
An international standard referring to the cable link between separate pieces of digital audio / visual equipment. Also referred to as a Fire Wire.
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.
It's easy to append/edit data on DVD media even after it has been recorded for seamless backup. And you can utilise write-once formats when you need to protect your data from being erased, or when compatibility is extremely important for exchanging and distributing data.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy Easy Connection , more control with less hastle with the new and smaller Active Interface Shoe (AIS). A feature special to Sony Handycam®, it enables accessories like Video Lights and Microphones to be easily and quickly connected.
Clear Photo LCD Plus further improves the visibility of previous LCDs, enabling more detailed and colourful photography of objects in dark or bright places. Clear Photo LCD Plus provides high resolution (over 200K dots) and displays the image sharp and crisp.
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.
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.
