Film on location. And screen your movie there too


Show films anywhere on a bright screen: The built-in projector is bright to 35 lumens and screens images up to 250cm (100 inches).

Say goodbye to camera-shake: Balanced Optical SteadyShot is up to 13x more effective than standard image stabilisation so you get smooth results every time.

Share films online wirelessly: Add a separate Wi-Fi adapter and you can quickly send MP4 movies to a smartphone or tablet and share them online.

Project films from a phone, tablet or PC: Connect devices such as smartphones or laptops via HDMI and project films, photos, YouTube™ clips and more.

Get closer, capture more: Get the shots you want every time with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens with 10x optical zoom and 17x extended zoom.

Shoot in low light and see the detail: The sensitive Exmor R™ CMOS sensor means you can capture detailed video and stills with reduced image noise, even in low light.

Capture quick motion in crisp detail: A high-speed BIONZ image processor gives you enhanced image quality and performance when you’re shooting fast-moving subjects.

Smooth and natural fast action: Perfect for filming sport, the 1920x1080/50p progressive mode records at a very high frame rate of 50 Full HD frames a second.

Built-in GPS puts movies on the map: GPS tags every video and photo so you know when and where they were shot and can pick a location on a map to play the film back.

Capture a film-like look: In 24p progressive mode you can film Full HD images at 24 frames per second, creating that classic movie look.

Films that sound as good as they look: Whether it’s dialogue or background noise, capture it all in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound for a rich audio experience.

Capture stills in 24.1 megapixel detail: take still images with 24.1 megapixel resolution and capture stills from video footage too.

Easy to review and play videos and images: Watch your footage on the touch panel 7.5cm (3.0 type) Xtra Fine LCD™ display, with high contrast and a wide viewing angle.

Handy charging and connections: The USB cable stores neatly inside the Handycam®, always ready to connect to a computer, transfer videos and recharge the battery.

Made for sharing: Film movies in the popular MP4 format so you can easily share online using Facebook™, YouTube™ or PlayMemories™.

Just point and shoot, without adjusting settings: iAuto automatically adjusts settings for the best results, recognising different faces, lighting and scenes such as landscapes.

Record a clear soundtrack outdoors: Advanced audio processing senses wind strength and reduces noise for clearer soundtrack recording.

Stay focused on the action: Tap the touchscreen to select a subject and autofocus stays locked on it, even when objects moves – great for children and sports.

Easy to transfer, enjoy and share images: PlayMemories™ software helps you transfer videos and pictures, then organise, edit, print or share them online.
