Sony HDR-HC3 HDV 1080i Handycam Camcorder Features

2.1 Megapixel ClearVid CMOS Sensor
1/3" ClearVid CMOS Sensor provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video and still image performance. Unlike traditional CCD Imagers, CMOS Sensors require less power, providing better battery performance.

HDV Recording Format
From the innovators in camcorder technology, Sony’s HDR-HC3 camcorder is one of the industry's smallest and lightest HDV 1080i consumer level camcorders. Now you can record all your memories in true high definition video.

2.7" Wide LCD Display
The 2.7" Wide (16:9) LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 211K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.

10x Optical and 80x Digital Zoom
Optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom.

Professional Quality Lens
Carl Zeiss lenses like this one have an advanced optical multi layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones. Plus, the additional T coating on the lens further reduces unwanted glare and flare.

Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization System
The HDR-HC3's picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera "shake", without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems.

Sony's Exclusive i.LINK Interface (IEEE 1394)
The HDR-HC3 offers a high speed bi-directional digital video/audio communication between two compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.

Tele Macro Function
This feature is useful for shooting close up shots, without having the camcorder casting a shadow on the subject. Images shot in the Tele Macro Mode will have the subject properly focused with the background unfocussed so that the subject stands out.
