The Beauty of High Definition
One of the most precious things in life is our memories. Truly precious moments such as your newborn baby’s smile, your child’s first birthday, or your
exotic honeymoon vacation are moments that once gone are lost forever. As the dawn of a generation of High Definition (HD) is upon us, you’ll want
to capture these memories in the best detail possible to ensure they last through the ages. By safekeeping these special moments in HD for your baby
to enjoy once he’s grown, you’ll be able to relive these joyous occasions over and over again in perfect clarity for generations to come. Choose HD,
they will thank you for it.
More Colours
Introducing x.v.Colour
Sony’s latest HD Handycam® camcorders feature a groundbreaking
new colour technology known as x.v.Colour. This innovative
technology complies with the recently adopted “xvYCC” (eXtended
Video YCC) international colour standard to produce almost 100%
of colours the human eye can perceive. With x.v.Colour, your
entertainment experience will be changed forever as you enjoy a
previously unseen world full of rich and vibrant colours never before
captured by any other camcorders.

High Definition Advantage
By combining more effective scanning lines with a greater pixel count, you receive beautiful videos with up to 4.5 times the video data quantity of
Standard Definition (SD). These sharp images really bring out the impact of the subject matter for a difference that is immediately noticeable.

• 1440 Effective Pixels
• 16:9 (Widescreen) Aspect Ratio
Capture the most vibrant blues of the ocean.
Wider Colour Range
Through adopting a wider colour range based on the “xvYCC”
colour standard, x.v.Colour is able to display colours that were
impossible to capture or display using conventional colour standards.
When compared to the conventional sRGB colour standard,
x.v.Colour presents nearly twice the colour range for dramatically
brighter and more colourful images.
sRGB Coverage = Only 55.8% xvYCC Coverage = 100%
More Natural Colours
By using an intelligent algorithm designed to more accurately specify the colours of nature, x.v.Colour is able to display a wide range of
colours that is closer to human vision. With this true-to-life colour production, you can now enjoy your video and imaging with colours
accurately depicting those seen in person, making the colours in the picture come to life.
• x.v.Colour is only for HD recording, it is not compatible with SD recording modes.
• In order to see the benefits of x.v.Colour, the viewing device must be xvYCC compatible.

ClearVid™ CMOS Sensor

The ClearVid
component of Sony’s HD Handycam
revolutionary image sensor enables high-speed
processing while capturing a huge amount of pixel
data, giving you high resolution, wide dynamic range,
smear-free images and higher light sensitivity with
lower power use.

models. This
Single and Three Imager System
All the HD Handycam® models utilise Sony’s unique ClearVid™ CMOS Sensor in their imaging system. With most models utilising a SingleChip Imager System and one model with a 3-Chip Imager System, it is important to know the benefits of each system to find the model that
suits you best.
Single ClearVid™ CMOS Sensor
Light entering through the lens is separated into the three RGB (red, green and blue) primary
colours via a filter.
Each pixel on the sensor is also divided into red, green and blue colours, allowing each pixel
to detect its respective colour element to process as image data.
Using a Single-Chip Imager System enables the optical system to be smaller, reducing the size
of the camcorder.

Smooth Slow Rec with Audio Recording
The ability to capture video and audioˆ at four times the normal recording speed means quick motions and sounds too fast for human recognition

or sports with the crack of a bat. On most models, a single 3-second clip can be recorded and then played back in smooth slow motion as a 12-second
video. For the HDR-FX7, a single 6-second clip can be recorded and then played back as a 24-second video.

Blurred image from camera shake The controlled lens effectively reduces image distortion
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens
All HD Handycam® use the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens,
which has a multi-layer film coating. The T* coating is the highest
quality multi-layer coating and reduces light reflections and flares
by 52% for clear, concise images.
Without T* Coating, lens reflections occur
Extra Low Dispersion Glass
When light passes through an optical lens, it creates what is known
as “chromatic aberration”, leaving a blue colour fringing to the
edge of objects. This is especially noticeable in Tele or Zoom
modes. In order to reduce this effect, the HDR-FX7’s Carl Zeiss
Vario-Sonnar T* Lens uses Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Glass.
This ED Glass is made especially to reduce this effect for clearer,
more precise images without distorted colour fringing.
