Run, jump, shoot and project it all


Say goodbye to camera-shake: Balanced Optical SteadyShot is up to 13x more effective than standard image stabilisation so you get smooth results every time.

Show your films anywhere: The built-in projector is bright to 20 lumens and screens images up to 250cm (100 inches).

Share films online wirelessly: Add a separate Wi-Fi adapter and you can quickly send MP4 movies to a smartphone or tablet and share them online.

Project films from a phone, tablet or PC: Connect devices such as smartphones or laptops via HDMI and project films, photos, YouTube™ clips and more.

Broaden your horizons with a G Lens: With a wide angle at 26.8mm, the G Lens from Sony lets you fit more into your frame, leaving nothing and nobody out of shot.

Built-in GPS puts movies on the map: GPS tags every video and photo so you know when and where they were shot and can pick a location on a map to play the film back.

Get closer to your subject: 12x optical zoom and 20x extended zoom takes you right into the heart of the action.

Shoot in low light and see the detail: The sensitive Exmor R™ CMOS sensor means you can capture detailed video and stills with reduced image noise, even in low light.

Capture quick motion in crisp detail: A high-speed BIONZ image processor gives you enhanced image quality and performance when you’re shooting fast-moving subjects.

Smooth and natural fast action: Perfect for filming sport, the 1920x1080/50p progressive mode records at a very high frame rate of 50 Full HD frames a second.

Capture a film-like look: In 25p progressive mode you can film Full HD images at 25 frames per second, creating that classic movie look.

Films that sound as good as they look: Whether it’s dialogue or background noise, capture it all in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound for a rich audio experience.

Capture stills in 20 megapixel detail: take still images with 20.4 megapixel resolution and capture stills from video footage too.

Easy to review and play videos and images: Watch your footage on the touch panel 7.5cm (3.0 type) Xtra Fine LCD™ display, with high contrast and a wide viewing angle.

Handy charging and connections: The USB cable stores neatly inside the Handycam®, always ready to connect to a computer, transfer videos and recharge the battery.

Made for sharing: Film movies in the popular MP4 format so you can easily share online using Facebook™, YouTube™ or PlayMemories™.

Just point and shoot, without adjusting settings: iAuto automatically adjusts settings for the best results, recognising different faces, lighting and scenes such as landscapes.

Record a clear soundtrack outdoors: Advanced audio processing senses wind strength and reduces noise for clearer soundtrack recording.

Stay focused on the action: Tap the touchscreen to select a subject and autofocus stays locked on it, even when objects moves – great for children and sports.

Easy to transfer, enjoy and share images: PlayMemories™ software helps you transfer videos and pictures, then organise, edit, print or share them online.
