Sony HDR-HC7 dimensions 1ch. Surround Sound, Super SteadyShot Optical, Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator

Capture Every Moment in Stunning Clarity with

Super SteadyShot (Optical) and Carl Zeiss® Lens

Super SteadyShot (Optical) UX7 HC7 FX7

With the Optical Active Lens Method, Super SteadyShot (Optical) uses a sensor to detect camera shake and a lens that is controlled to compensate for any vibration during shooting. This optical method efficiently reduces camera-shake blur, allowing you to enjoy stable recording and superior image quality for both videos and still images without loss of data quality obtained through the lens and with less distortion.

• HDR-UX5, HDR-SR1 and HDR-HC5 are equipped with Electronic Super SteadyShot.

Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens

Extra Low Dispersion Glass FX7

When light passes through an optical lens, it creates what is known as “chromatic aberration”, leaving a blue colour fringing to the edge of objects. This is especially noticeable in Tele or Zoom modes. In order to reduce this effect, the HDR-FX7’s Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens uses Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Glass. This ED Glass is made especially to reduce this effect for clearer, more precise images without distorted colour fringing.
