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.
40X Optical / 2000X 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.
2.5" Touch Panel SwivelScreen LCD Display (123K Pixels)
The 2.5" LCD screen provides exceptional viewing clarity with 123K pixels
resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles,
as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.
Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders,
and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found
with larger lenses.
i.LINK Interface (IEEE1394)
Quickly transfer images from the camcorder to compatible devices equipped with
an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs, using this
high speed, bi-directional digital video/audio connection.
InfoLITHIUM Battery with AccuPower Meter System
Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion
batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "Memory Effect," so you're free
to charge the battery at any time. Additionally, Sony's exclusive AccuPower
meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder
or on the LCD screen.
Stamina Battery Power Management System
When using the Sony InfoLITHIUM Battery, the Stamina Battery Power Management
System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous
recording times from a single charge.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the Easy
Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked
out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording.
Fader Effects
Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects.
Choose from Black and White.
Manual Focus
Manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual
focusing also allows the user 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.
Multi-Language Menu
Change the menu display from English to English (Simplified), Canadian French,
Latin American Spanish, or Brazilian Portuguese
NightShot Plus Infrared System
In low-light environments, the NightShot Plus Infrared System lets you shoot
color video with a less greenish tint than previous infrared systems.

Effect Modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Monotone, Pastel and Sepia.
