Dual Rec

Some iconic moments are best captured as a still image and you can do just that even while shooting Full HD video. Simply press the Dual Rec button to snap off a shot without skipping a video beat.

D-Range Optimiser

There’s always the possibility of encountering difficult lighting conditions, such as shooting your subjects against the light or against a brightly lit background. This usually causes your subjects to be underexposed and appear darker than they actually are. The D-Range Optimiser in Sony’s HD Handycam® compensates for such lighting conditions, keeping your entire image evenly exposed.

Reduces “white-out” effects of subjects to attain better results.

Zoom Mic and Dolby® Digital 5.1ch Surround Sound Recording

Life isn’t lived in mono. With Sony’s audio technologies, you can capture sounds and reproduce them as they happen in real life, coming from all directions. The Zoom Mic lets you close in on the audio being generated by your subject, while Dolby® Digital 5.1ch Surround Sound Recording lets you record audio in realistic directional sound.
