Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV Features

• 1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels (Gross)
  1/6" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance.
• 40X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom
  The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
• 2.7"1 Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display (123K Pixels)
  The 2.7"1 LCD screen provides exceptional viewing clarity with 123K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.
• Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens
  Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses.
• i.LINK® Interface (IEEE1394)5
  Quickly transfer images from the camcorder to compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface5, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs, using this high speed, bi-directional digital video/audio connection.
• InfoLITHIUM® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System
  Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony’s rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "Memory Effect," so you’re free to charge the battery at any time. Additionally, Sony’s exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
• Stamina® Battery Power Management System
  When using the Sony InfoLITHIUM® Battery, the Stamina® Battery Power Management System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge.7
• Easy Handycam Button
  Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the Easy Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording.
• Fader Effects
  Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black and White.
• Manual Focus
  Manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder’s auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment.
• Multi-Language Menu
  Change the menu display from English to English (Simplified), Canadian French, Latin American Spanish, or Brazilian Portuguese
• NightShot® Plus Infrared System
  In low-light environments, the NightShot® Plus Infrared System lets you shoot color video with a less greenish tint than previous infrared systems.
• Picture Effects
  Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony’s Picture Effect Modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Monotone, Pastel and Sepia. Effects available in Playback mode: Monotone, Pastel and Sepia.
• Scene Selection Modes
  Scene Selection modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Beach, Candle, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Sports Lesson, Spotlight, and Sunrise & Sunset.
