OTHERS 120x Digital Zoom (10x Optical)
The DCR-TRV16E gives you up to 120x Digital Zoom (up to 10x Optical), ensuring that your subject is always within range. Use the 10x Optical Zoom for crystal clear magnification, or the 120x Digital Zoom when you want to get close to the action.

12/16 Bit PCM Stereo

Record and playback from either dual 12-bit stereo channels for sophisticated audio editing or 16-bit stereo channels for sterling quality sound. The audio dubbing function gives you the option to dub a separate 12-bit/32kHz stereo background music soundtrack or narration for polished post production video results.

Super SteadyShot

Sensitive horizontal and vertical motion vector sensors pick up the unwanted jittering caused by an unsteady hand. These shakes are then compensated by the Super SteadyShot System, eliminating unwanted blurs and giving you a smoother and more enjoyable video.
