HANDYCAM Smooth Slow Record
Smooth Slow Record allows you to record fast action scenes and play them back smoothly in slow
motion. It can be used to analyze a golf swing or tennis stroke. Three seconds of footage is recorded
at a Higher (100fps) frame rate and then played back over 12 seconds at normal speed (25fps).
The net result is that the motion is slowed down to quarter speed without any of the jerkiness that
would usually occur. You can even decide to record the 3 seconds of footage after it has occurred so
that you never miss that 'one off' event.
HANDYCAM Dual Record
This Function allows simultaneous recording of still pictures
while recording video. This means that if you are shooting video
footage you can take a high resolution still image at the same
time without interrupting your video recording. Dual Recording
is made possible due to the inherent characteristics of CMOS
sensors coupled with a newly developed advanced imaging
processor which can handle the higher data rates involved.
HANDYCAM HDD Smart Protection System
All Sony HDD Handycams have a unique HDD protection system to protect the Hard Drive and
prevent data loss. A mechanically-floating Shock Absorber is built in to protect the HDD from physical
jars and a 3G Gravity Sensor detects a fall or bump taking place and removes the HDD write head
from the platter to stop any physical contact that may occur. Finally, a Video Stream Buffer enables
video to continue recording even during a fall or bump. While the HDD head is removed from writing,
the video information is stored in buffer memory and is written to the disc once the fall or bump has
ceased and the HDD has returned to normal operation.
HANDYCAM One Touch DVD Burn
Transferring video footage from your HDD
Handycam onto DVD Discs has never been
easier. Simply Connect the HDD Handycam
to your computer* with the supplied USB2.0
cable and then simply push the DVD Burn
button. The camera and software does the rest.
Footage is downloaded from the HDD Handycam
to your computer at extremely fast speeds (up to
15x Real Time) and the software then creates a
DVD from that footage. If there is more footage
that can fit on one disc, then as many discs as
needed are created.

Complimentary to this is the Easy PC Backup
feature which intelligently downloads and stores
on your computers HDD only video footage that
you have not already downloaded. For example, if
you have already downloaded 5 hours of footage
from last week (and not deleted it off your HDD
Handycam) and then you record an extra 1 hour
of footage today, then the easy PC backup feature
wont re-download those original 5 hours again
but will only download the new
1 hour of recording you have done.
