1/6 Advanced HAD CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross
1/6 Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels
provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of
horizontal resolution) and still image performance.
MiniDV Recording
The DCR-HC28 offers up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution, 3X the color
bandwidth and a significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide spectacular
video performance.
20X Optical/800X Digital Zoom
The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition
the digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer,
with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less
glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance,
true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones.
Super SteadyShot Picture Stabilization System
The picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to detect and compensate
for camera shake without compromising picture quality like some other digital
stabilization systems.
2.5 Touch Panel SwivelScreen LCD Display (123K Pixels)
The touch panel screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved
resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees
for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or
playback.
i.LINK DV Interface
The i.LINK DV interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional interface
which enables audio/video communication between two compatible devices. This
connection allows for pure digital transfer between devices equipped with an
IEEE1394 interface, such as camcorders, digital VTRs, capture cards and PCs.
InfoLithium Battery with AccuPower Meter System
Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries,
Sony's rechargeable lithium ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening
"memory effect." The exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time
remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
NightShot Plus Infrared System
With NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even
when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 10 feet away using the
built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with
earlier low-light recording systems.
Stamina Battery Power Management System
Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLithium battery, the DCR-HC28 can continuously
record for up to 14 hours (viewfinder) or up to 12 hours (LCD) on a single full
charge, providing extra long battery life1.
Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes
Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging
situations.
Choose from beach & ski, landscape, portrait, sports lesson, spotlight or sunset
& moon modes.
Picture Effects
Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Picture Effect
modes. Effects available in camera mode: mosaic and pastel. The effects
available in playback mode: monotone, negative art, sepia and solarize.
Fader Effects
Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects.
Choose from black, mosaic, monotone and white.
Battery Information
At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen
when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The display will show how
much the battery is charged, in 10% increments and the recordable time left when
using the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.
Manual Focus
With manual focus, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the
touch panel. Manual focusing also allows you to control the focus in difficult
situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the
camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a
window or in a crowded environment.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the
Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are locked
out leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational.
Picture Motion Browser
Easily organize still images and video, and turn them into stunning music videos
using the supplied software.
