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.
MiniDV Recording
Offers up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution, 3X the color
bandwidth and a significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide
spectacular video performance.
20X Optical/800X 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.
Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens
Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that
offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in
vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect
renditions of subtle tones.
Super SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System
Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and
compensate for camera "shake" without compromising picture quality
like some other digital stabilization systems.
2.5" Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display (123K Pixels)
Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The
high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for
multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for
monitoring or playback.
i.LINK® DV Interface
A digital high-speed bi-directional interface which provides
Audio/Video communication between two compatible devices. This
connection allows for pure digital transfer between devices equipped
with an IEEE1394 interface, such as camcorders, digital VTRs,
capture cards and PCs.
InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System
Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium)
batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subject
to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower™
meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the
viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
NightShot® Plus Infrared System
With Sony's NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural
looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up
to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the
overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording
systems.
Stamina® Battery Power Management System
Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLithium® Battery, the DCR-HC28 can
continuously record for up to 14 hours (viewfinder) or up to 12
hours (LCD) on a single full charge, providing extra long battery
life2.
Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes
Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in
challenging situations. Choose from Beach & Ski, Landscape,
Portrait, Sports Lesson, Spotlight or Sunset & Moon modes.
Picture Effects
Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony's
Picture Effect Modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Mosaic and
Pastel. Effects available in Playback mode: Monotone, Negative Art,
Sepia, and Solarize.
Fader Effects-2
Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader
effects. Choose from Black, Mosaic, Monotone and White.
Battery Information
At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the
LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The
display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10% increments
and the recordable time left when using the LCD screen or in the
viewfinder.
Manual Focus
Allows the user to 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.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a
press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of
the camcorder are "locked out" leaving only the buttons essential
for recording operational.
