Recording System Features

SD Recording System Features

This camera records in standard definition to Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Duo HG cards (the same cards used widely in digital stills cameras) which means users store their video footage onto small, interchangeable and reusable media. Recording direct to memory cards means there are no moving parts in the recording section, which means that the video camera is exceptionally resistant to impact and tough conditions and the use of memory card recording media is in part responsible for the ultra compact build achievable with flash memory video cameras.  Memory cards are also easy to store and to use as archive material. This camera has a built-in internal memory of 16 GB, which will store 3 Hours 50 minutes of Standard Definition  footage shot at the highest quality setting.

Technology Features

Face Index

Face Index makes it easier than ever to find and play back the right video scene. Using Face Detection technology, Face Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it’s time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index.

Sony Picture Motion Browser software

Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you connect to a DVD burner (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.

Optical SteadyShot

Optical SteadyShot (Active) mode uses a camera shake correction angle 10 x wider than conventional image stabilisers to reduce camera shake. Now you can shoot smoother movie footage while chasing children or strolling around sightseeing.

Face Detection

Face Detection automatically detects faces and adjusts focus, exposure and colour balance to produce well exposed, sharp and natural looking skin tone. Smile Shutter

While shooting your original movie footage, Smile Shutter automatically detects and takes a photograph of your subject if he or she smiles. It’s a great way to record snapshots of smiling friends and family members!
