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.
