Hard Disk Drive Handycam
® camcorder
The DCR-SR220 features the ClearVid™ CMOS sensor (with Exmor™ technology) and BIONZ™ image processor to
capture vibrant, high resolution images exactly like you remember them. With a built-in 60GB hard drive and
Memory Stick slot, the dual record mode even lets you simultaneously shoot photos and record video.
2.3 Megapixel ClearVid™ CMOS
Sensor (with Exmor™ Technology) and
BIONZ
™ Image Processor
Sony's newly designed CMOS image
sensor with delivers bright, vivid, and
spectacularly detailed 2.3 megapixel
(effective) video footage, as well as 4
megapixel still images -- all with
prolonged battery life. Exmor™
technology captures images with high
resolution and high sensitivity. In
addition, the advanced Sony BIONZ™
image processor improves camera
response time and screens out noise so
the signal from each pixel is as pure as
possible.
BIONZ
™ Image Processor
The advanced Sony BIONZ™ Image
Processor uses hardware
-based Large
Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry that
improves camera response time,
screens out noise before RAW data
conversion, handles Dynamic Range
Optimization processing, and prolongs
battery life.
Exmor™ Imaging Sensor
Exmor™ technology captures video
and still photo images with high
resolution, high sensitivity, and
exceptional detail. Advanced on-
sensor
A/D conversion yields rich tonal
reproduction with high signal-to-noise
ratio.
Face Detection for Video Footage and
Digital Still Photos
Made possible by the BIONZ™ image
processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces
anywhere in the frame and
automatically controls focus, exposure,
and color to help capture smiling faces
brightly and clearly. Face Detection
also helps make skin tones look natural
without affecting other colors in the
image.
15X Optical / 180X Digital Zoom
The optical zoom helps to bring the
action close up from far away. In
addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation
means that extreme digital zooming is
clearer, with less distortion than
previous types of digital zoom.
2.7" Wide
(16:9) Touch Panel Clear
Photo LCD Plus™ Display (211K Pixels)
The 2.7" Wide
(16:9) LCD screen
provides exceptional viewing clarity
with improved resolution (211K pixels).
The display rotates up to 270 degrees
for multiple viewing angles, as well as
provides sharp, detailed images for
monitoring or playback. The
widescreen format makes shooting in
16:9 mode and composing shots even
easier.
Hybrid Recording to Hard Disk Drive or
Memory Stick® Media
Hybrid recording technology delivers a
new level of flexibility for transferring
your video footage and digital photos
from the camcorder to compatible
viewing devices. Record to the
camcorder's internal hard disk drive, or
choose instead to record to removable
Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory
Stick PRO Duo™ media. You can even
select from various dubbing functions
to easily copy video or still images
from the hard disk drive to Memory
Stick media -- without using a PC.
Images recorded or transferred to
Memory Stick media can then be
played directly on a PS3 or PC to share
your memories with friends and family.
Dual Record
While recording video you have the
ability to capture still images directly to
Memory Stick Duo™ media (sold
separately).
Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media Slot
Capture still images directly onto
Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media (sold
separately) for easy transfer to PCs for
emailing, printing, or sharing with other
compatible Memory Stick® devices
(sold separately).
Quick On
Missing an important scene can be
frustrating, especially if the reason is
because your camcorder is turned off.
With the Quick On feature, the touch of a
single button places that camcorder in
Sleep mode. Another push instantly
wakes the camcorder, so you'll always
be ready to capture special moments.
Built
-in zoom microphone with 5.1ch
recording
Featuring Dolby® Ditigal 5.1 Creator,
the built
-in zoom microphone focuses
audio recording on your subjects in
sync with the camera's zoom lens,
helping memories ring true with clear
dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds.
Dolby® Digital 5.1ch Recording
Record in Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround
sound with the camcorder's built-in
microphone. Recording in 5.1 channel
surround sound allows you to
experience your home movies with
active sounds coming from all
directions, so you can enjoy your
personal home movies the way you
experienced them while recording.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
Powered by the exclusive Sony's
BIONZ™ high-
speed processing engine,
D-Range Optimization preserves image
data in bright highlights, such as
suppressing "whiteout" in skies. When
shooting in backlit settings, D-
Range
Optimization reveals more detail in
shadows, preventing "blackout." As a
result, the captured image appears as
natural as the original scene.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating
for some people. With a press of the
Easy Handycam Button, most of the
advanced features of the camcorder
are "locked out," letting you focus only
the buttons essential for recording.
