Dolby ® Digital stereo recording with Built-in Zoom Mic The built-in zoom
microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects with the camera’s
zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp,
discrete sounds.

USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer without having to
remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so
it’s out of the way until you need it.
Auto Lens Cover The automatic lens cover protects the Carl Zeiss ®
Vario-Tessar ® lens from scratches during transport or while not in use by
closing the lens cover automatically when the camera is shut off.
70x Extended Zoom to get even closer to the action Extended Zoom works in
conjunction with 60x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while
maintaining image quality.
SteadyShot ® image stabilization with Active Mode Steadyshot ® image
stabilization with Active Mode allows for a greater degree of image
stabilization over the well known, Sony developed, SteadyShot stabilization
that has been used for years, giving you more stable video even when on the
move or in low light circumstances.
Face Detection Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes
camera settings for both video and still images, so faces are captured more
clearly and skin tones look more natural.
Direct Copy to external HDD without PC 10 Store your memories in a whole
new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder directly to an
external hard disk drive 10 (sold separately), all without a computer. Your
camcorder can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for
playback on your TV, allowing you to utilize the camcorder’s handy
playback features.
Film Roll / Face Index With Film Roll Index, the camcorder previews the
beginning of scenes and creates scene indexes set at specified display
intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes). Face Index indexes your
video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it’s
time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from
among the detected faces displayed in the index.
Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ® lens The professional-quality Carl Zeiss ®
Vario-Tessar ® lens is designed specifically for compact camcorders.
Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast of larger
lenses, and SteadyShot ® image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by
camera shake.
Intelligent Auto (36 different scene combinations possible) Intelligent

and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from seven
distinct scene modes (36 different combinations possible): Landscape,
Backlight, Twilight, Spotlight, Macro, Portait, Tripod.
