Up to 500 Lines of Horizontal Resolution Enjoy digitally recorded video with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution for outstanding video quality comparable to DV and DVD performance.
20X Optical/560X Digital Zoom The optical zoom helps to bring the action up close 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" SwivelScreenTM LCD Display (61K Pixels) Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 61K Pixels LCD rotates up to 270-degrees for multiple viewing angles providing a sharp detailed image for monitoring or playback.
SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera "shake" without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems.

USB Streaming Stay connected with family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio, via the internet with the USB interface. You can even playback your favorite recorded scene stored on tape. It's like having your own web camera and video conferencing system.
USB Interface USB interface provides an easy way to connect the Digital Handycam camcorder to computers for fast transfer of digital images and MPEG movies stored on Memory Stick® media to the PC.
InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPowerTM Meter System Charge the battery at any time because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries Sony's rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPowerTM meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in the viewfinder or the LCD screen.
Super NightShot® and Color Slow Shutter With Super NightShot, capture video in total darkness (0 lux) up to 10 feet away. Super NightShot mode automatically adjusts the Shutter Speed to increase picture brightness and clarity. Color Slow Shutter mode allows you to record in low light situations with full color detail by slowing down the shutter speed.
Stamina® Power Management System Using the optional NP-FM91 InfoLithium® battery the DCR-TRV140 can record up to 10.5 hours on one complete charge, providing extra long battery life.
12-Bit/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo 16-bit recording offers the same, outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc. 12-bit recording enables you to add an additional audio track with compatible audio dubbing equipment or i.LINK® (1) compatible computers.
Photo Mode Using Sony's unique Adaptive Frame Interpolation for better image quality, you can store hundreds of individual still images with 7 seconds of audio on the videotape.
Playback Zoom During video playback, pause mode, or while viewing still images, you can zoom in 2X closer. These newly cropped images can be viewed closer to see greater detail.
