Why Handycam® is best for video recording?

Memories are unique: that’s why capturing them is so important. From innovative features that make shooting easier, to professional-quality lenses and advanced image processors for optimum picture performance, Handycam® camcorders from Sony make the difference between a good memory and a great one.

Extended Zoom
Greater range with extended zoom

Have you ever wished to reach that far away subject just a little bit more? The new extended zoom feature is the new answer to an old problem. 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 extended zoom, you can now enjoy a wider shooting range from wide to telephoto.

SteadyShot

Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode) ensures smooth movie footage in various shooting situations:shooting on the move chasing your child, strolling around sightseeing, and even while zooming in on the action. This latest version of image stabilization technology realizes up to 10x* more steady images on the wide end than conventional Optical SteadyShot. As the user zooms in, an intelligent digital image stabilizer starts to blend in and work together with its optical counterpart to effectively reduce camera shake even while zooming

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.
