definition video footage (HD LP mode),

1/2.88” "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor
with ClearVid™ array:
A 1/2.88” Exmor R™ CMOS image
sensor delivers bright, vivid,
spectacularly detailed video footage,
as well as 12 megapixel still images.
With 6 megapixel (effective) video
resolution, the image sensor actually
captures video at four times the density
of high definition resolution resulting in
a sharper and more detailed 1920 x
1080 HD picture. In addition, "Exmor R"
technology captures images with high
resolution and high sensitivity, while the
advanced Sony® BIONZ™ image
processor improves camera response
time and screens out noise to help
ensure that the signal from each pixel is
as pure as possible.
Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS
sensor:
Experience stunning low
-light sensitivity
with improved image clarity and
drastically reduced grain with the newly
developed, back-illuminated "Exmor R"
sensor. Designed for compact cameras
and camcorders, the "Exmor R" sensor
relocates the photo diodes above the
support circuitry, maximizing the lightgathering area per pixel so you can
shoot with better results in lower lighting
conditions. Approx. 2x increase in
sensitivity compared to Sony's existing
front
-illuminated CMOS sensors at F2.0.
Geotagging with built-
in GPS receiver:
A built-in GPS receiver makes the HDRXR500V an ideal choice for travelers. In
addition to automatically adjusting
your camcorder's clock to the proper
time zone, the GPS receiver also gives
you the ability to view your current
location on the LCD map display, as
well as "tag" your shooting locations.
Tagged videos and still images can be
reviewed and played back using the
Map Index function on the camcorder
or once downloaded to your PC using
the supplied PMB (Picture Motion
Browser) software .

Map Index function:
Map Index uses the geotagging
capabilities of the built-in GPS receiver
to "tag" your shot locations on a map
in the camcorder, offering a new way
to easily search and find a desired
scene by location or view where a
scene was captured.
