With a 1 megapixel CCD, the DCR-HC48E MiniDV Handycam camcorder captures every detail of every frame. And you’ll get everything in the frame with the 25x optical/2000x digital zoom through the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens. The 2.7” wide hybrid touch panel LCD displays your video in vivid detail while allowing you to easily control the camcorder’s features. You even have better control over your video clarity with Super SteadyShot image stabilization andSuper NightShot Plus. And with the built-in Memory Stick Duo media slot and the supplied Handycam Station, it’s quick and simple to share everything you’ve recorded.
Features: * 1.0 Megapixel (Gross) Advanced HAD CCD Imager: 1/6” Advanced HAD(Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 690K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 520 lines of horizontalresolution) and still image performance. The Megapixel technology enhances your digital videos and digital still photography performance. * MiniDVRecording: The DCR-HC48 offers up to 520 lines ofhorizontal resolution, 3X the color bandwidth anda significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide spectacular video performance. * 25X Optical/2000X 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 distortionthan 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. * 2.7” Wide (16:9) Touch Panel Hybrid LCD Display2 (123K Pixels): The touch panel screen provides excellent viewing clarity for both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios 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. * One Touch Wide Angle Shooting: Easily switch between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios with just the touch of a button. * SuperSteadyShot Picture Stabilization System: The picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera “shake” without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems. * Handycam Station: The supplied Handycam Station cradle provides quick and easy connections to a compatible TV for viewing or to a PC for editing and sharing video. Just placing the camcorder on the Handycam Station instantly makes the connections. No need to search for cables or wires when charging or playing back. * 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. The exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. * i.LINK DV Interface: The i.LINK DV interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional interface which enables audio/video communication betweentwo 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. * Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick Duo Media: Capture still images up to 1152x864 resolution directly onto Memory Stick Duo Media for easy transfer to PCs for e-mailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick devices. * Tele Macro Function: This functionality is useful for shooting close-up shots without having the camcorder casting a shadow on the subject. Images shot in the TeleMacro mode will have the subject properly focusedwith the background unfocused so that the subjectstands out. * Manual Focus: With manual focus,you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows you to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject doesnot allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment. * Super NightShot Plus Infrared System: With Super NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjectsup to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems. *On Screen Zoom and Record Controls: For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-HC48 features zoom and record buttons on the frame of the LCD screen. This allows the user more flexibility when holding the camcorder, especially in overhead or low angle shots. * Stamina Battery Power Management System: Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLithium battery, the DCR-HC48 can continuously record for up to 10 hours (viewfinder) or up to 9 hours (LCD) on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life.
