 Step-up

 

 

 

3.0 Megapixel (Gross) ClearVid™  
CMOS Sensor

1/2.9" ClearVid™  CMOS Sensor with 
3040K (effective) pixels provides 
stunning detail and clarity with 
exceptional video (up to 530 lines of 
horizontal resolution) and still image 
performance. The Megapixel 
technology enhances your digital 
videos and digital still (3040K) 
photography performance.

10X Optical/20X Digital Zoom

The optical zoom helps to bring the 
action close up 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.

Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-
Sonnar® T Lens

Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced 
optical multi-layer coating for 
increased contrast. This results in vivid 
image brilliance, true-to-life color 
saturation and perfect renditions of 
subtle tones. The additional T coating 
on the lens further reduces unwanted 
glare and flare.

Dolby® Digital 5.1ch Recording

The DCR-SR300 will record in Dolby 
Digital 5.1ch surround sound with a 
built-in microphone. By recording in 5.1 
channel surround sound you can now 
experience your home movies with 
active sounds coming from all 
directions. Enjoy your personal home 
movies the way you experienced them 
while recording.

2.7" Wide (16:9) Hybrid Touch Panel 
Clear Photo™  Plus LCD (211K Pixels) 

The 2.7" Wide (16:9) LCD screen 
provides excellent viewing clarity with 
improved resolution. The high resolution 
211K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 
degrees for multiple viewing angles 
providing sharp, detailed images for 
monitoring or playback, and the 
widescreen format makes shooting in 
16:9 mode and composing shots even 
easier.

Smooth Slow Recording

By increasing the record rate from 60 
fields per second (fps) to 240 fps for 3 
seconds allowing you to capture 3 
seconds of fast motion and play the 
video back in 12 seconds. This is great 
for analyzing a golf swing or a viewing 
a bird in flight. In addition, record an 
audio track to narrate what is being 
seen during the video.

Memory Stick Duo™  Media Slot  

Capture still images up to 2848x2136 
resolution, directly onto Memory Stick 
Duo™  Media for easy transfer to PCs for
