Balanced Optical SteadyShot for smoother movies deployed in increased number of models
Brighter projector models with external input
Easy wireless sharing and backups with optional Wi-Fi
Every sound captured beautifully from the loudest concert to gentle whispers
Capture those once-in-a-lifetime family memories with the new Handycam range of Full HD camcorders from Sony.
Enhanced picture quality and wider shooting options are teamed with exciting possibilities to share and enjoy your videos. Your movies look smoother and more professional than ever thanks to Sony's innovative Balanced Optical SteadyShot technology. Projector brightness is boosted on many models, and a new projector input lets you beam the screen of your smartphone, tablet or PC onto a wall or any nearby surface.
Making its Handycam debut, an optional Wi-Fi adapter simplifies cable-free transfers of video clips and still photos and even lets you control the camcorder remotely with your smartphone[1].
Better-quality images and sound
Sony's unique Exmor R CMOS sensor inside every new Full HD Handycam assures beautifully clear, detailed video footage and sparkling stills. You'll get results to be proud of even in tricky low-light conditions where other camcorders and smartphone cameras struggle.
Unique to Sony, Balanced Optical SteadyShot now features across even more Handycam models. This powerful image stabiliser cuts handheld image wobbles for smoother, steadier footage in virtually any shooting situation. Floating' optics and sensor inside the camcorder compensate more effectively for hand tremors providing up to 13x better image stabilisation that's effective at all zoom settings, from wide angle to dramatic close-ups.
Shooting possibilities are broadened further with enhanced wide angle performance right across the range. All models including entry-level HD Handycam now offer a wide angle lens with less than 30mm minimum focal length. Squeeze more into landscapes, parties and big family groups: you'll have no worries getting everyone and everything into the picture.
Common to all models, compatibility with new TRILUMINOS Colour[2] lets you enjoy those most precious memories, reproduced with rich and natural colours. You'll experience an expanded palette of vivid, ultra-realistic colours when videos and still images are played back on any BRAVIA TV with support for TRILUMINOS Display.
Your camcorder's audio is also upgraded this season. Sony's Advanced Sound System (on selected models) offers several quality enhancements to ensure superior soundtracks whether you're in a packed arena with your favourite band or capturing a baby's first gentle gurgles. The high-quality external microphone on select models ensures that audio is captured with pinpoint accuracy.
Wider Dynamic Range ensures great clarity with loud and quiet sounds alike. Audio record levels can be tweaked for best results without distortion even at extreme volumes where your smartphone or camera's microphone just can't cope with the overload. And for the best possible movie soundtracks, there's a choice of optional microphones by Sony to record sparkling sound in any situation.
More great ways to share and save the memories
Projector power has been boosted for brighter movie shows that everyone in the room can enjoy. Light output of the range-leading Handycam PJ780V is now upped by over 50%, while resolution has been upgraded for even clearer, sharper projected images.
In addition, most projector models now offer an HDMI input. Just hook up the output of your smartphone, tablet or PC:[3] then use Handycam to project movies, slideshows, web pages or games onto a nearby wall or white surface.
In a Handycam first, all new camcorders now offer the option of recording HD video in either AVCHD or MP4 formats. AVCHD offers the best possible picture quality for enjoying on your Full HD TV or burning to Blu-ray Disc for archiving. Alternatively, shoot crisply-detailed clips using the popular, bandwidth-saving MP4 format: it's perfect for online sharing and easy uploads to favourite social media web sites from your PC.
New accessories for Handycam
All new Handycam models feature the Multi Terminal' interface that allows intelligent communication between camcorder and shooting accessories.
New camcorders above the HDR-PJ/CX400 series feature the Multi Interface Shoe' that accommodates accessories including flash and microphones while drawing power from the camera. Developed as a common shoe for imaging products by Sony including digital still cameras, video cameras and interchangeable lens cameras, the Multi Interface Shoe is also compatible with accessories by Sony conforming to the ISO standard.
Compatible with 2013 Multi Interface Shoe Handycam models, the ADP-WL1M is a compact Wi-Fi adapter module that brings wireless connectivity to Handycam for the first time. Allowing easy wireless transfers of MP4 movie files and photos directly to a smartphone or tablet, it also enables cable-free backups of movie files and photos to your PC. You can even use your smartphone as a handy wireless remote to control Record Start/Stop, zoom and other functions on Handycam.
The HVL-LEIR1 is a handy battery-powered video light that's compatible with all new Multi Interface Shoe camcorder models. Running on AA batteries, it doubles as an infrared source for exciting no-lights' footage with Handycam models that support NightShot or Super NightShot.
Also Multi Interface Shoe compatible, the ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone supports high quality sound recording. Its wide frequency response assures crisp dialogue and ambient sounds.
The RDP-CA2 is a portable 360 degrees' speaker that connects directly to compatible camcorder models featuring
