Sony HDR-PJ430V Specifications page 2

Select between HD video in the AVCHD or MP4 format for highest quality or easy transfer and
sharing.
AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal for
capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you
want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on
your social networks or store on the cloud. MP4 produces smaller files optimized for web viewing
and makes wireless transfer a breeze (on select Handycam camcorder's with Wi-Fi feature and
optional accessory ADP-WL1M).
CinemaTone presets and 24p recording for cinematic quality video
For extra control over image expression, CinemaTone technology is used to deepen the color
and recreate film-like color tones. Combined with 24p recording, you'll have some of the tools
you need to fulfill your need for cinematic expression.
55x Extended Zoom to get even closer to the action
Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 30x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while
maintaining HD image quality.
Wide Angle G lens to capture more of what you want
Experience the pinnacle of Sony lens technology with the professional-quality G Lens.
®
Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver brilliant, accurate color
reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, the 26.8mm focal length in
Photo and Video Modes offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting.
New Advanced Sound System for Premium Audio
Premium video demands premium audio. This is why Sony has enhanced the sound system in
select Handycam camcorders. A wider dynamic range allows for clearer and cleaner sound
®
recording when shooting in areas with either too much background noise or where the audio
level is too low. Additionally, manual audio level adjustment allows users to fine tune sound
recordings. These improvements add on to existing features of Wind Noise Reduction and
Closer Voice technology that work with the camcorder's built in face-detection technology to
automatically reduces background noise.
3.0" wide Clear Photo Plus™ LCD (230k) touch screen
The 3.0" (16:9) Clear Photo Plus™ LCD touch screen (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images,
letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings
to best represent the scene. Use the touchscreen to select faces and objects to keep in focus
and monitor levels of exposure while you record.
Tracking Focus follows selected subjects in/out of the frame
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a
touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object, even if it leaves the frame and
returns.
Wind noise reduction for clear voice recording
Wind Reduction reduces noise and interference that is produced when wind passes over the
microphone, giving you a clearer and more enjoyable sound experience.
Closer Voice (with Face Detection)
When the camcorder's Face Detection technology identifies people in a scene, an Advanced
Acoustic Processor automatically reduces background noise, resulting in recorded voices with
outstanding clarity and intelligibility.
Expanded recording/monitoring with mic/headphone jack
Features dedicated mic and headphone inputs for expanded audio recording options and
convenient monitoring of audio with headphones (external microphones and headphones sold
separately).
Highlight Playback creates movies with transitions for you
Why spend hours editing your movies when you can let your camcorder do it for you? Highlight
Playback identifies and compiles key scenes into a short, entertaining movie complete with music
and transitions. You can even pinpoint the exact scene you want to include in the highlight reel.
