  • Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode

    Shoot steady movie images even while walking or zooming. Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake more effectively compared to standard mode.

    At the intersection of visionary technology and design, Handycam image quality reigns supreme. A ZEISS lens, Exmor R CMOS image sensor and BIONZ X image processing engine are the essence of picture performance.
  • Optical zoom and clear image zoom

    Images look very sharp and less degraded even beyond optical zoom range.
  • For higher image qualities and capture capacity

    Based on the professional XAVC HD format, the XAVC S format for consumer use supports high-bit rate for recording high-resolution, action-filled HD movies.
