Product details

In addition to high-quality technology, Handycam's performance relies on its convenient operation for flexible shooting, editing, and sharing of stunning images. The user-friendly functions make it easy
to capture the essence of your subject. Sony's experts have developed a Handycam, which makes it even more fun to shoot exciting videos, because it's not only new, but also easy to use, and will bring a lot of fun to this and future generations.

Optical SteadyShot with Smart Active Mode: Blur-free video even when you're walking or zooming: Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake up to 13x1 more effectively than standard mode
See life in a whole new light: the visionary design and advanced technology of the Handycam - ZEIss lens, EXMOR R CMOS image sensor and BIONZ X image processor - form the basis for high-quality images. The large zoom range of up to 26.8 mm and the 50 Mbps XAVC S recording speed of 50 Mbps make it possible to capture images with amazing dynamics and detail. Optical SteadyShot with intelligent Active mode prevents camera shake and blurred images from ruining your images. AVCHD and XAVC S formats ensure true-to-original playback and vivid recordings.
Compact and always ready for use.
