Compact imaging power

Just because most Sony camcorders are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on image quality when you make your movies. With

3.3megapixels packed into one chip, the DCR-PC350E Handycam gives you the moving and still imaging power typical of the super-compact Sony range. High numbers of pixels are ideal for taking excellent photos too. Combined with special Sony features like a Carl Zeiss lens and Primary Color Filter (see right), they’ll deliver irresistible images for memories you’ll treasure.

For beautifully natural images,

our special filter converts all light into

primary colours.

Primary Color Filter

Sony’s Primary Color Filter delivers truly breathtaking colours. Like the

3 CCDs in our semi-pro camcorders, it splits incoming light into red, blue and green – the primary colours used to reproduce images on screens – so your footage looks more natural and warmer when you play it back on TV. And by doubling the green wave- length, it flatters to please – green is the colour picked up best by the human eye!

Lenses

Increase your imaging range with a High Grade wide or tele conversion lens like the VCL-HG0737X.

Tripods

A tripod such as the VCT-D680RM is ideal when you’re waiting for that special shot – be it moving or still.
