The large-sized image sensor
The camcorder is equipped with an APS-C-sized (23.4 mm × 15.6 mm) CMOS image sensor.
Its sensor area is about 20 times as large as the 1/3-inch image sensor that is often used in existing video
cameras.
The larger the image sensor, the shallower the depth of field. This allows you to reduce the focus on the
background in order to make the subject stand out.
Interchangeable lens system
The camcorder employs the E-mount system for interchangeable lenses developed by Sony.
The supplied E-mount lens has an optical camera-shake compensation mechanism (Active mode), and can
also zoom up to 11 times.
Using a Mount Adaptor (sold separately) enables you to use D lenses (A-mount lenses) as well. You can
choose the right lens for the recording conditions or subjects. A wide variety of characteristic lenses will widen
visual expression.
Manual operability
The camcorder allows you to use aperture priority/shutter speed priority/full-manual exposure compensation,
and adjust gain, white balance, etc. for recording movies.
A control dial and exclusive buttons are provided to enable you to use the camcorder in your own way, more
comfortably.
High-performance microphone
The camcorder adopts an array microphone system that has a four-capsule structure.
The camcorder creates the correct sound localization by processing the signal from the microphone,
achieves both realistic sensation and front localization, and records low-noise and clear sound. The
high-performance microphone will make full high-definition movies more appealing.
