Beyond high technology, Handycam performance relies on closer attention to human factors. Such as the flexibility to create, shape, share, and discover better ways for images to really move you. Plus, the focus on more carefree yet functional approaches to get to the heart of a subject. The integrity of Sony’s know-how is dedicated to more fun and exciting movie making, from start to finish. This is more than just a new Handycam, it’s a handier way of providing as much happiness as you can handle—for this generation and those lucky ones to come.
Shoot steady movie images even while walking or zooming. Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake up to 13x2 more effectively compared to standard mode.
At the intersection of visionary technology and design, Handycam image quality reigns supreme. A ZEISS lens, Exmor R CMOS image sensor, and BIONZ X image processing engine are the essence of picture performance. Zoom coverage as wide as 26.8 mm is expansive, and XAVC S 50 Mbps of high bit rate recording captures scenes of remarkable dynamism in detail.
Frame more landscape and indoor scenes when you can't step back.
Images look very sharp and less degraded even beyond the optical zoom range.
Based on the professional XAVC format, the XAVC S format for consumer use supports high bitrates for recording high-resolution, action-filled movies.
Twice the light sensitivity of conventional sensors for outstanding low-light image capture.
Quickly transforms data from the sensor into richly textured high-resolution movies and photos.
Works with the Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor to deliver superior optical performance.
