Have fun sharing your Full HD videos
Let everyone in the room enjoy your special memories. Inside this high-performance 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.

Pack more into every scene
Make sure nobody’s left out of the picture at parties, birthdays and other special occasions. The high quality Vario-Sonnar T* lens by Carl Zeiss features enhanced wide angle performance, capturing a bigger image area without you having to stand back.

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.

Shoot like a professional
You're in control of creating beautiful video images. Manually adjust focus, exposure and other settings to match your creative vision. Frame shots in confidence with the detail-packed electronic viewfinder, even in bright sunlight.
