3C C D s m a k e m o v i e s g r e a t
Our 3-CCD system harnesses the properties of natural light to capture movement in the finest detail – for big screen images you’ll never forget.
Manual control at the flick of a switch! You can choose to adjust focus or zoom yourself with the ring on the DCR-HC1000E.
The magic of 3
Whether you’re filming moving images or want to catch the still shot of your life, your Sony Digital Handy- cam won’t let you down. When you select your Handycam, we offer a choice of different imaging technolo- gies, depending on what type of image and what size of camcorder is more important to you. For superb moving image quality, for example, Sony semi-professional camcorders are driven by not just one but three CCD chips. The camcorder splits incoming light into the three primary colours, then records each colour on its own dedicated chip.
Microphones
The ECM-CQP1
4-channel microphone is ideal for recording 4-channel sound on the DCR-HC1000E.
Optical Image Stabiliser
Sony semi-pro camcorders combat jerky movements with our ingenious Optical Image Stabiliser. Sensors respond by adjusting a prism fitted in front of the lens, or even the lens itself.
Record in surround sound!
Enjoy the special depth and realism of genuine surround sound, even on your home movies! In combination with our 4-channel microphone* below, the DCR-HC1000E Handycam lets you record a 4-channel soundtrack, which you can then convert to 5.1-channel surround using Sony Click to DVD software on a VAIO desktop or notebook. Your surround sound DVD is ready to watch in no time at all.
