HDD High Definition Camcorder

The HDR-XR520V employs an advanced Exmor R™ CMOS sensor to capture stunning, 1920 x 1080 high definition video and 12 megapixel still images to its internal 240GB hard disk drive. In addition, a built-in GPS receiver helps you keep track of your current location, and even remembers where you shot your videos.

1920 x 1080 high definition video recording:

1920 x 1080 high definition resolution lets you record your memories in exceptional Sony® Full High Definition quality .

12 megapixel still image capture:

12 megapixel still image capture lets you take stunning, high resolution digital photos.

240GB

hard disk drive:

A built-in 240GB hard disk drive can record and store up to 101 hours of high definition video footage in long play mode (HD LP, 2ch Dolby mode). In addition, “HDD Smart Protection” gives you peace of mind by helping to prevent any recorded video and images from being lost if the camcorder is accidentally dropped.

1/2.88” "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor with ClearVid™ array

1/2.88” "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor with ClearVid™ array: 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.

Geotagging with built-

in GPS receiver:

A built-in GPS receiver makes the HDRXR520V 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.
