Mini DV Recording
Mini DV recording is the preferred format for personal and broadcast quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution. 

Time Base Correction
Stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters. 

Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
Uses an advanced optical multi-layer lens coating that reduces glare and flaring, while providing improvement in detail and contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. 

Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced functions of the camcorder are locked out leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational. 

NightShot Plus Infrared System
With Sony's NightShot Infrared system you can capture natural looking video even when shooting in low light up to 10 feet away using the built in infrared system. 

SteadyShot Picture Stabilization
It smoothes and steadies your images without degrading picture quality. Sony does it with motion sensors - a more accurate system. 

USB Streaming
