1/2.88" “Exmor R” CMOS Sensor
Delivers bright, vivid, spectacularly detailed video footage, as well as 12 Megapixel still images. Additionally, it provides stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain whether you're in video or still photo mode.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/ Active Mode (Wide to Tele)

Engineered for superior optical performance, the Sony G lens delivers brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, the 26.3mm focal length in Photo Mode and 29.8mm in Video Mode offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide-angle shooting.

Quick Autofocus
An improved autofocus (AF) system now lets you take crisp images even faster. In fact, this new Quick AF feature focuses twice as fast when compared to previous Sony camcorder models.

3.5” Xtra Fine LCD™ display (921K) w/TruBlack™ technology
TruBlack™ technology brings remarkably higher contrast and brightness to the camcorder’s 3.5” Xtra Fine LCD™ display, delivering more natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare.

Geotagging with built-in GPS receiver & NAVTEQ® maps
Lets you view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as "tag" your shooting locations. Tagged videos and still images can be reviewed and played back using the Map Index function on the camcorder.

Face Detection Technology w/ Face Priority
With Face Priority, your camcorder optimizes focus, color, exposure, and Smile Shutter™ technology for the face you prioritize. Just touch the preferred face on the LCD display and the camcorder will not only prioritize it for you, but will remember your prioritized face until the camera is turned off.

Assignable Dial
Allows for control of focus, exposure, white balance, iris, and shutter speed. Adjusting the iris lets you control depth of fi eld, while shutter speed allows you to control motion blur.

Intelligent Auto Mode
Analyzes your shot and then automatically selects the appropriate settings from 10 distinct scene modes: Landscape, Backlight, Twilight, Spotlight, Low light, Macro, Portrait, Baby, Tripod, Walk Detection. Lets you get extra creative with 90 possible scene combinations.

Golf Shot
