Digital8® Video Recording

Digital8 recording format delivers 3X the color bandwidth of VHS with significantly less video noise providing stunning video performance. Digital8 records digital audio and video comparable to Mini DV on affordable Hi8™ tapes and is backwards compatible with existing 8mm and Hi8 analog recorded tapes.

25X Optical/ 700X Digital Zoom

The optical zoom helps to bring the action up close from far away. In addition, the digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick® Media

Digital Still Memory Mode captures high quality still images up to 640x 480 resolution directly to Memory Stick® media. Images are stored in a JPEG format providing easy transfer to PCs for email, printing, or sharing with family and friends.

Analog-to-Digital Conversion with Pass-Through

Convert and/or record any analog NTSC video source to digital video via the analog inputs. Analog NTSC video can also be passed-through the Digital Handycam camcorder directly into a PC via the iLINK interface in real time for easy PC editing of your analog footage.

InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System

Charge the battery at any time because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries Sony's rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in the viewfinder or the LCD screen.

PIM (Print Image Matching)

Print Image Matching allows the color, brightness and sharpness from the original images to be accurately reproduced in the photo when printing from your PIM compatible home printer.
