Quick AF - Focus Twice as Fast A new and improved autofocus (AF) system, Quick AF, allows you to focus twice as fast as previous models.

Record Any Scene Perfectly With Sony's Intelligent Auto (iAuto)
Unlike simple auto mode, iAUTO mode does the thinking for you.

Save Memories the Simple Way with Direct Copy
		Direct Copy & Playback With direct copy, you can take lots of video and back them up just by simply connecting your Handycam® to an external hard disk drive via a USB adapter. Furthermore, you can use various playback modes such as Visual Index, Date Index, or even Highlight Playback to view the videos.
Beautiful 'People Pictures' in any Situation
		Face Detection Ensuring clear, natural looking ‘people pictures’ can be tricky. Faces can look dark and underexposed in bright, backlit situations like a sun-drenched beach. And if you’re shooting indoors there’s a risk that your subject’s skin tone can look unnaturally coloured. Face Detection automatically fine-tunes focus, exposure, colour balance and skin tone for more natural looking faces. It works whether you’re shooting video or stills.
