New Advanced Sound System for Premium Audio
Premium video demands premium audio. This is why Sony has enhanced the sound system in
select Handycam
®
camcorders. A wider dynamic range allows for clearer and cleaner sound
recording when shooting in areas with either too much background noise or where the audio
level is too low. Additionally, manual audio level adjustment allows users to fine tune sound
recordings. These improvements add on to existing features of Wind Noise Reduction and
Closer Voice technology that work with the camcorder’s built in face-detection technology to
automatically reduces background noise.
3.0” wide Clear Photo Plus™ LCD (230k) touch screen
The 3.0” (16:9) Clear Photo Plus™ LCD touch screen (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images,
letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings
to best represent the scene. Use the touchscreen to select faces and objects to keep in focus
and monitor levels of exposure while you record.
Tracking Focus follows selected subjects in/out of the frame
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a
touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object, even if it leaves the frame and
returns.
Wind noise reduction for clear voice recording
Wind Reduction reduces noise and interference that is produced when wind passes over the
microphone, giving you a clearer and more enjoyable sound experience.
Closer Voice (with Face Detection)
When the camcorder’s Face Detection technology identifies people in a scene, an Advanced
Acoustic Processor automatically reduces background noise, resulting in recorded voices with
outstanding clarity and intelligibility.
Expanded recording/monitoring with mic/headphone jack
Features dedicated mic and headphone inputs for expanded audio recording options and
convenient monitoring of audio with headphones (external microphones and headphones sold
separately).
Highlight Playback creates movies with transitions for you
