Advanced HAD CCD
Enhanced (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD design allows more light to reach the imager, which reduces video noise to improve signal to noise ratio. 

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. 

Digital Still Memory Mode
Capture digital still images at 1152 x 768 resolution, directly onto Memory Stick/Pro Duo Media for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick Duo devices. 

MPEG EX Movie Mode
Unlike earlier MPEG1 Movies, MPEG Movie EX will allow you to record 320 x 240 resolution MPEG movies uninterrupted up to the capacity of the Memory Stick Duo Media. These movies are perfect for emailing to friends and family. 

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. 

Super 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. 

Super 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
Stay connected with family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio, via the Internet with the USB interface. You can even playback your favorite recorded scene stored on tape. It's like having your own web camera or video conferencing system. 

Protect The Optics
The integrated built-in lens cap. By using the switch being at the front end of the right-hand side, the lens cap can be easily opened or closed when rushing. 

PicturePackage Software
The software is designed to be three step video editing for easy use. 

14-bit DXP
Captures the dynamic range between light and dark areas of your subject, providing an overall improvement and more natural picture reproduction - without losing detail such as highlights and shadows. 

Progressive Shutter System
By using a mechanical shutter with an interlace scanning system, the progressive shutter provides a progressive scan performance, while the camcorder captures sharp and clear images.
