Intelligent Accessory Shoe Digital Video: DCR-TRV75E
Sony MiniDV format delivers horizontal resolution of over 500 lines and high-quality 12-bit or 16-bit PCM digital stereo audio. It also surpasses expectations with image quality and colour accuracy far better than other analogue formats. Coupled with the superior optical characteristics of Carl Zeiss T* lens and a variety of sophisticated recording features, the MiniDV range of Handycam camcorders are capable of creating video output quality that rivals professional broadcast standards. The incorporated i.LINK DV in/out terminal and the new USB in/out terminal facilitates flawless digitalto-digital transfer.

Pixela ImageMixer

Easy-to-use editing software for both digital video and still images. Capture and edit movies as well as save and arrange still photos in albums using Pixela. It also provides for USB streaming of video images directly from your Handycam to a PC.
10x Optical 120x Digital Zoom
The powerful optical zoom uses physical manipulation of the lens focal length to put you 10x closer to your subject than when shooting in the wide angle position, with no loss of image quality. Additional digital zoom then lets you increase what youre able to see by enlarging the image a further 12x on the CCD.
This allows Sony camcorders and Sonys intelligent accessories to communicate and therefore automate a variety of functions. No additional power needed, it provides power on/off, and special operational commands e.g. light adjustments.

Spotlight

Sunset & Moon

New Intelligent Flash
New Intelligent Flash does not rely on a separate photo sensor to determine the exposure setting based on the aggregate illumination of the surrounding as the flash goes off. Instead, it fires a pre-flash sequence, which is reflected back and detected by the CCD. This in turn determines the appropriate exposure level before the main flash fires for the shot to be captured. More precise exposure is achieved as the reading is taken through the CCD, based on the actual angle and subject that is to be captured subsequently. Unlike conventional flash systems, reflective objects in the vicinity that fall outside of the framing angle will not wrongly influence the exposure settings.

14bit DXP

The all new 14-bit DXP (Digital Extended Processor) has greater signal processing ability, thereby greatly reducing the level of digital noise. The effects are demonstrated when filming dark subjects under low light levels. The widening of the visual signal dynamic range means that you can now achieve faithful image reproduction of very bright parts of the picture that until now have suffered from white spotting.

Main Subject

Hologram AF

Perfect for recording a smooth beach on a moonless night, as it zeroes in on difficult low light, low contrast subjects. Hologram AF is a Sony exclusive laser focusing system designed to achieve accurate focus on subjects with little contrast in dark conditions. It projects a visible Class 1 laser hologram pattern directly onto the subject so the camera can detect the contrast between the edge of the laser pattern and the subject itself.

Playback Zoom (5x variable)
When playing back your videos or stills, you can digitally enlarge any image up to 5x. Great when you want to scrutinise an interesting scene or capture an unique frame from earlier recordings.

Ease of Shooting

The quality of the image is dependent on the lens and the amount of natural light passing through and reaching the CCD. Often, this process reflects light on the lens surface, resulting in Flare, Ghost and other unwanted distortions on the final image. High-precision lens from Carl Zeiss prevents these effects to give you clear and wellcontrasted images. Improving it further, Sony has incorporated T*, the most advanced optical multi-layer coating, onto its camcorder lens. With T*, the reflection rate is reduced by 70% in comparison to conventional lenses so your subject and its environment can be shot in their natural and true condition. You'll be impressed with the high image quality and true-to-life colours.

Progressive Recording Mode
With the Progressive Recording Mode, you will never miss the best moments. Simply select the best scene from your movies, recorded under the Progressive Recording Mode and save it as a sharp and crisp still image. This is achievable as the Progressive Recording Mode utilises the effective area of the still picture and the SteadyShot buffer, resulting in a higher resolution feel of up to 1920k. Along with the pixel increase, the angle will be widened by about 30%. Hence, on a 2 Mega Pixel CCD system, your still images are of the highest picture quality. The Progressive Recording Mode also allows you to retain the quality of your images that are transferred from the tape to the Memory Stick.
Since your camcorder takes an image every 1/30 of a second in Progressive Recording Mode, moving images recorded in this mode may be subject to jitter. To view moving images, Sony recommend recording in normal mode.
