Original Full HD Sony sensor for impressive imagery
The 1920x1080 full HD 3x Exmor CMOS sensors system provides a 2.07 million effective pixel count in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Red, blue, and green light are independently and accurately captured by separate image sensors, contributing to high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range that translate to extraordinarily natural colour reproduction.

High performance Sony G lens with 40x zoom range
Provides 28.8mm (35mm full-frame format equivalent) angle of view at the wide end. 20x optical zoom plus Clear Image Zoom provides total 40x zoom range, rivalling that of optical zoom. Clear Image Zoom offers effectively no quality loss and no pixel loss, with 2M full resolution kept using Super Resolution Technology.

AVCHD 2.0 (1080/50p) and DV recordings
HD video is recorded in AVCHD 2.0 format with a high 50 fps frame rate that achieves smooth, natural subject motion. 50i and 25p modes provide playback compatibility with Blu-ray players. The camcorder can also record in DV standard definition.

Slow and quick motion options at Full HD
2x slow motion can be easily achieved by setting the recording format to 25p and the frame rate to 50 fps. If you'd rather speed up the action the frame rate can be set to 1 fps for 50x quick motion.

Excellent low light recording
Minimum illumination of 1.2lux (1/30) or 1.0 lux (1/25).
