Filming and sharing, you call the shots

Life doesn’t stay still, so why should you? Shoot smooth Full HD video on the move with Balanced Optical SteadyShot. Screen it anywhere you like using the built-in projector. And use a Wi-Fi adapter* to send footage to your smartphone and share with friends.

Jump in and enjoy freedom of movement

Shooting on the go? Whether you’re running on the beach or just walking, with Balanced Optical SteadyShot the lens unit and sensor “float” within the camcorder so everything stays steady. It compensates for up to 13x more camcorder shake than traditional image stabilisation.

Share movies anywhere

With a built-in projector, the world is your movie theatre. On the beach, at a party or a wedding reception, shoot and share footage straightaway on any available surface. See a bright, clear picture with vivid colours, even in daylight, up to 250cm (100 inches) big.

Watch anything via the projector

Found the next big viral hit on YouTube™? Got some old home videos stored on your laptop, or perhaps you've just downloaded the latest Hollywood blockbuster. Connect via HDMI and you can enjoy them anytime, anywhere, on the big screen.

Share videos online with Wi-Fi

Share the sights and sounds of your travels with friends and family. A Wi-Fi adapter* lets you send video wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet from your Handycam® then share it online with the PlayMemories™ app. You can use your smartphone to control your Handycam® too.

Remember places with GPS

Where was that beautiful beach you discovered on holiday last year? With GPS tagging, photos and videos can tell you exactly where you were when you took them. See all your shooting locations marked on a map, then simply tap on one to play back and rediscover the memories.

Fit in the whole scene

Get more into the frame with a G Lens. With a wide angle at 26.8mm and 55x extended zoom, take on any scene from detailed close-ups of faces to faraway shots of wildlife. No matter what catches your eye, capture remarkably sharp, clear photos and Full HD video every time.
