Capture it like you remember it

A picture that’s as natural and warm as you remember. Every piece of technology in a Handycam®, from the lens to the sensor, has been individually researched, developed and refined for optimum clarity and detail with an Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and up to 55x extended zoom.

Exmor R™ CMOS sensors deliver surprising detail

Big events deserve a big sensor

Whether it’s sunrise or twilight, or you’re indoors or out – for professional looking detail, colour and tone an Exmor R™ CMOS sensor won’t let you down. It renders sharp and lifelike scenes in every situation and all conditions.

Twice as sensitive as conventional sensors and with up to 24.1 megapixels picture resolution, a camcorder with an Exmor R™ CMOS sensor will capture the same clear picture every time, even without a flash.

Wide angle lenses in Handycam® camcorders

See the life in every shot

Capture every moment, just as you remember it. That’s the goal of every Handycam® and the G Lens represents years of development into lens clarity to achieve just that.

With a wide angle at 26.8mm, it was designed specifically to work with our Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and our powerful BIONZ processor to deliver remarkably sharp, clear HD video and still images. You’ll see the results in every shot.

More frames, more detail When you really want to see the smallest of movements, a high bit rate with 50p progressive shooting mode delivers the image quality, smoothness and detail that you need. It’s also ideal for fast-moving scenes – anything from world-class athletics to a school sports day.

No hassle – impeccable shots, instantly

Sometimes amazing things can happen in the blink of an eye. Don’t miss them – just grab your Handycam® and hit record.

In iAuto mode the camcorder automatically recognises up to 180 different scenarios – from night scenes in winter to summer barbecues – and adjusts the settings automatically so the picture is always just as it should be. You’ll never miss that special moment again.
