STAMINA Battery Life

Battery life should be the last thing you have to worry about, and with Sony, it is. Using a combination of efficient power management system, and low current power consumption. Your Handycam or Cyber-shot will last longer before it requires charging.

Super NightShot

A built-in, infrared system that lets you capture video in monochrome recording from up to 10 feet away even in total darkness (0 lux). Super Night Shot also allows you to employ one of two Slow Shutter speeds to increase picture brightness, contrast and quality.

Touch-Panel

Activate camera features such as video playback controls, Program AE, effects mode, search and title entry by a simple touch on the generously sized LCD screen. For added protection, the touch panel is specially treated to prevent against dirt and unwanted fingerprints.

USB Streaming

The USB Steaming technology allows the camera to become a web cam via the USB connection. Hook it to your PC and with video conferencing software, the Handycam will act as the imaging capturing device.

Super SteadyShot

Sensitive horizontal and vertical motion vector sensors pick up the unwanted jittering caused by an unsteady hand. These shakes are then compensated by the Super SteadyShot System, eliminating unwanted blurs and giving you a smoother and more enjoyable video.
