Exmor R™ CMOS sensor with enhanced sensitivity always gets the shot: Mountain-biking downhill at breakneck speed…at dusk? Kayaking at dawn? Your footage is still going to look great; thanks to the low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain provided by Sony’s Exmor R™ CMOS sensor..

Ultra-wide 170° pro quality ZEISS Vario-Tessar® lens: Capture epic wide angle views with the 170˚ ZEISS Vario-Tessar® lens. Or switch to a more conventional 120˚ view. Either way, you'll always be capturing beautiful shots of the most challenging ski slopes, mountain trails, swirling rapids, or simply pitted asphalt paths. Note: 120˚ view is the only option with SteadyShot on..

Control up to five cameras with optional Live View Remote: Using the optional RM-LVR1 Live View Remote accessory you can control up to five cameras via Wi-Fi right from your wrist. Frame your shots, control the cameras’ recording settings, and start/stop recording to get impressive footage from five sources simultaneously..

4-video editing with Video Merge: Video Merge lets you combine up to four movie footage segments (even slow-motion parts) captured simultaneously by different cameras, and make a split-screen composite. With this unique feature anyone can create impressive movies without mastering complex editing software. (Available at PlayMemories Home: ver. 3.1.10 or later for Windows, and 1.1.10 or later for Mac.).

Full HD recording at 60p/50p and 28Mbps: Smooth, crisp video is always yours with these impressive stats: 1920x1080 60p/50p resolution and frame rate, as well as a 28Mbps bitrate..

Smooth, steady recordings: When you’re on an outdoor adventure, keep the flow going and let SteadyShot ensure your footage stays vibration-free..

11.9MP photo mode when you want the single, perfect shot: Sometimes you don’t need—or want—video. Put your HDR-AS20 in still image mode and capture amazing high-quality 11.9MP still images as easily as you do with a camera. Alternatively, the timelapse mode lets you automatically capture stunning speed up image sequences..

Wi-Fi for remote control and smartphone viewing: Turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote viewfinder and controller via Wi-Fi..

Thin, light design with simple controls: Slender design is subject to less wind and water pressure and is ideal for virtually all outdoor activities such as cycling or kayaking. A variety of mounting accessories, harnesses, etc. let you capture HD video completely hands-free while engaged in a wide spectrum of outdoor activities, including extreme sports. The camera can be operated with simple buttons on the side of the housing—even if you’re wearing gloves..

Rugged waterproof housing includes universal tripod mount: The Sony HDR-AS20 is supplied with a tough, waterproof housing with a universal tripod mount. It’s ready to handle extreme environments, allowing you to concentrate on safety and composition while capturing your footage. Sealed in the housing, the camera is waterproof down to 5m and has a shock resistance rating for up to 5-foot drops; additionally, dirt and dust-resistant seals make it nearly impervious to mud, snow, rain, and grit..

150-minute battery life: Whether you’re mountain biking in the middle of nowhere or skateboarding your favorite streets; don’t miss recording the action. Long battery life lasts 150 minutes with Wi-Fi off and 130 minutes with Wi-Fi on (stats based on Sony testing)..

Built-In stereo mic for quality sound recording: From roaring rapids to the silent swoosh of fresh powder skiing, a built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture all the natural sounds of your adventure..

Two memory formats: Memory Stick Micro™ and Micro SD/SDHC: Expandable memory with Memory Stick Micro™ and Micro SD/SDHC card slot; conveniently use whichever format you have on hand..

Easy video flip: Upside-down Flip function is especially useful when the Action Cam is shooting from an inverted position. The user can choose an inversion setting prior to operation so the camera will capture footage in standard orientation..

Underwater mode: Action Cam can take beautiful, natural color images even underwater. Simply set the underwater white balance before shooting to prevent a distorted greenish color, keeping water as “true blue” as it appears. Note: Waterproof Case SPK-AS2 enables underwater shooting to 5m depth. For diving, Underwater Housing MPK-AS3 allows shooting to 60m depth..

HDMI® output for impressive large-screen TV viewing: With HDMI® output, you’ll be able to share your new video with friends and family on your large-screen HDTV (required HDMI cable must be purchased separately)..
