Have fun sharing your Full HD videos
Let everyone in the room enjoy your special memories. Inside this feature-packed, easy to use Full HD camcorder there's a projector that beams your videos onto any nearby surface. It's the smart, fun way for everyone to share the action.

Best Full HD pictures
Move up to the smoothest, most detailed video images you've ever seen from a camcorder. 1920x1080/50p mode records at a very high frame rate in progressive mode, capturing 50 Full HD frames every second for extra-clear results.

Walk. Zoom. Steady: Even more stable pictures
Wobbly pictures are a common problem when you’re shooting without a tripod. Optical SteadyShot Active Mode delivers ‘3-way’ camera shake correction at all zoom settings, even when you’re walking along.

Edit photos & videos with PlayMemories Studio
Take control of your photos and videos and bring them to life through your PlayStation®3 with PlayMemories Studio. You can add sound effects, or edit your videos to make the perfect home movie quickly and easily.

Project your image anywhere
Sometimes you want everyone to see your video memories, but there's no TV in the room to hook up with. Now Handycam® lets you project crisp, detailed video clips directly onto any nearby flat surface - from walls and ceilings to a friend's t-shirt.

Sounds amazing
Don't your videos deserve a better soundtrack? The precision microphone array captures 5.1-ch surround sound with greater sensitivity and reduced wind noise. Stereo speakers and S-Master technology assure clear sound during playback on your camcorder.
