Super NightShot 0 Lux Recording mode automatically adjusts the shutter speed to increase picture brightness and clarity. Color Slow Shutter mode allows you to record in low light situations with full color detail by slowing down the shutter speed.
Mini DV Recording Mini DV digital recording format delivers 3X color bandwidth of VHS and lower signal to noise ratio compared to analog formats and provides stunning video performance. Advanced HAD CCD Technology The Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) enhanced CCD design allows for more light to reach the imager which reduces video noise to improve signal-tonoise ratio by up to 6dB (2X better than a standard CCD imager). Particularly effective when shooting in dark situations. 520 Lines of Horizontal Resolution Sonys Advanced HAD CCD technology, combined with Carl Zeiss optics, provide outstanding video performance with 520 horizontal lines of resolution. Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar Lens Carl Zeiss lens have an advanced optical multi-layer coating offering less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. 10X Optical/120X Precision Digital Zoom The Carl Zeiss Optical Zoom brings the action close up from far away. In addition, precision digital zoom interpolation technology means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom.
