Standard Definition

720H x 480V = Less than 1 million pixels

Full High Definition

Full High Definition gives you enhanced picture quality, which is 4.5 times better than Standard
Definition. The difference between High Definition Picture quality and conventional Standard Definition
is immediately noticeable. From the smallest smile to the brightest rainbow, you’ll definitely appreciate
the vibrancy and realism of 1920x1080i Full High Definition.

Full High Definition

1920H x 1080V = 2 million pixels
ClearVid CMOS Sensor™ with ‘Exmor R’ - Derived technology and BIONZ™ Imaging Processor combine to give you these advantages over
other image sensors:
• Wider dynamic range delivers richer colours
• High sensitivity and low noise ensure your images capture every detail
• Low power consumption for longer recording hours
• Smear-free images let you shoot easily in bright conditions
• Allows superb features such as Face Detection, D-Range Optimizer, Smile Shutter and Dual Rec to be realized.
*Applicable with HDR-PJ50E, HDR-XR160E, HDR-CX130E, HDR-TD10E models
The new “Exmor R” CMOS Sensor™ uses back-
illuminated technology that utilizes light more
efficiently for smoother ac tion sequences and
higher image quality
BIONZ uses pixel interpolation to create 3.6x more visual data than 1920 x 1080 HD.
The result is extraordinarily clear image quality!
A powerful combination of advanced video technologies from Sony delivers remarkably clear video and still-images. These
include the BIONZ Imaging Processor, which handles enormous amount of image data at extremely high speeds, and the
newly enhanced ClearVid CMOS Sensor™. This innovative image sensor is renowned for high resolution, sensitivity and now
includes advanced technology derived from the “Exmor R” CMOS Sensor™ for lower noise and accelerated processing.

Key Features and Technology Extended Zoom
When capturing videos, Sound is as important as images because ‘sound’ differentiates still-images from a videos.
Sony’s Handycam® are equipped with Zoom Microphones & High Quality 5.1ch Surround Sound System which
ensures that your favourite videos are captured with all its liveliness…!
Zoom Microphone are linked to Zoom Lenses ensuring that the sound of the action is as clear & lively as the
scenes. It ensures clear, natural sounds in the foreground.
5.1 Channel Surround Sound has inbuilt high quality microphone capsules that are twice as sensitive as those
in previous models, resulting in vivid surround sound with superb clarity. Now you can record high quality
surround sound of your baby’s low voice or a bird chirping, even when the sound level of the source is low.

Greater range with 67x extended zoom
Have you ever wished to reach that far away subject just a little bit more? The new 67x extended zoom feature is the new answer to an old
problem. While the 57x Sony Lens optics promises great image quality for such a high powered optical zoom lens, by optimizing the CCD
read-out area, the total zoom range is extended from 57x to 67x. Different from conventional digital zoom technology, when using this new
feature, there is almost no visible image degradation thanks to an advanced image processing algorithm. With the 67x extended zoom, you
can now enjoy a wider shooting range from wide to telephoto.
