Feature-packed Full HD shooting made simple
Record sparkling Full HD video on optional memory card. Light and easy to carry, it's packed with smart, easy to use features for shooting, sharing and enjoying crisp HD video and still photos.

So light and easy to carry
Capture brilliantly detailed Full HD video - with a light, compact camcorder that's beautifully easy to carry with you everywhere.

Walk. Zoom. Steady: Even more stable pictures
Wobbly pictures are a common problem when you’re shooting without a tripod. SteadyShot Active Mode offers enhanced camera shake correction at all zoom settings, even when you’re walking along.

Low light, no problem
Many camcorders struggle in low light, producing grainy, fuzzy images. Super sensitive Exmor R™ CMOS Sensor reduces image noise for clearer images. In conjunction with the powerful BIONZ processor you’ll get great results in dim interiors or at dusk.

Bring the action closer
Enjoy frame-filling close-ups of any scene. Extended Zoom boosts magnification of the high quality Vario-Tessar lens by Carl Zeiss to an extra-powerful 30x. You'll enjoy superb results, packed with fine detail.

Built-in USB cable
Travel light with no need to pack an AC adaptor or extra cables. The built-in USB cable stows neatly inside the hand-strap. Use it for transferring videos and photos to your PC, while charging the camcorder's battery.
