Benefits
Excellent low light performance
Many compact camcorders struggle in low light, pro-
ducing grainy images. Super sensitive Exmor R™
CMOS Sensor reduces image noise for clearer images.
In conjunction with the powerful BIONZ processor
you'll get great results in low light, idea for corporate
and event videography where light conditions cannot
necessarily be controlled.
Outstanding wide angle shooting.
Shooting in tight situations needs the flexibility of a
wide angle lens. The high quality G Lens by Sony now
features enhanced wide angle performance of
29.8mm (35mm equivalent), meaning an additional
wide angle adaptor may not be necessary, reducing
the weight of the camcorder.
Steady shooting without additional grip equipment
Documentary and video diary productions are often
shot hand-held by non-craft camera operators. New
