3-1/4.7" Advanced HAD™ (Hole
Accumulation Diode) CCD imagers

with 690K (effective) pixels provides
excellent detail and clarity, with exceptional
digital video performance

(530 lines of

horizontal resolution).

MiniDV Recording

color bandwidth of VHS and lower signal to
noise ratio compared to analog formats and
provides stunning video performance.

Network Capability with BlueTooth™
Technology

BlueTooth™ technology, to the

Internet. This allows wireless transfer
of still images and MPEG1 movies, captured
on Memory Stick

®

media, via the optional

movies can be emailed to family and friend, or
shared via Sony’s ImageStation

®

Service on
the World Wide Web. You can even browse the
Internet wirelessly.

greater creativity, performance and
convenience.

➤

3.5" Precision SwivelScreen™ Touch

with improved resolution. The

246K pixel LCD display makes
images sharp and detailed during playback or
when monitoring recording. The “On Screen”

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.

Digital Still Memory Mode with
Memory Stick

®

Media

Digital Still Memory Mode captures
high quality Megapixel still images up
to 1152 x 864 resolution directly to

Memory Stick

®

media. Images are stored in
the JPEG format providing easy transfer to PCs
for emailing, printing, or sharing with family
and friends.

MPEG Movie EX Mode

Unlike other MPEG1 movies,
MPEG Movie EX will allow you to

record uninterrupted to the full
capacity of the Memory Stick media. For
example, the 128MB Memory Stick will record
up to 85 minutes of non-stop MPEG video.

Intelligent Auto Pop Up Flash with
Red-Eye Reduction

Provides the appropriate amount of flash for
optimum brightness and color accuracy in
virtually any lighting condition. The Red-Eye
Reduction system uses a series of pre-flashes
that cause the subject’s pupils to contract,
reducing the possibility of reflection from the
back of the eye that causes the red-eye
problem.

i.LINK®* DV Interface (IEEE1394)

A high speed bi-directional digital
video/audio communication between

two compatible devices equipped
with a IEEE1394 interface, including
camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.

Super SteadyShot Optical
Stabilization System

SteadyShot

®

System that

controls an even higher range of
shake and vibration frequencies to achieve an
even higher level of smoothness without
degradation of video like some other image
stabilization systems.
