	» Features

Features:
* 3.2 Megapixel (Gross) ClearVid CMOS Sensor: 1/2.9" ClearVid CMOS Sensor provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (1080 lines of resolution, HD mode or 530 lines of horizontal resolution,SD mode) and still image performance (6.1 megapixels). Unlike traditional CCD imagers, CMOS sensorsrequire less power, providing better battery performance.
* Switchable HD/DV Format Recording: The HDR-HC7 is capable of recording and playing back both high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video recorded on a standard MiniDV cassette.
* Real-Time HD Codec Engine: This engine provides efficient MPEG2 compression, and recording and playback of clear HD images at the same bit rate of the DV format, so that high definition video can be recorded on the same MiniDV cassettes as are used for SD recording.
* x.v.Color: x.v.Colorcan capture or display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than currently possible. This provides a more accurate and vivid color range, for a more natural, lifelike overall experience.
* 10X Optical/20X Digital Zoom: The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the digital zoom interpolation means thatextreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
*Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 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. The additionalT coating on the lens further reduces unwanted glare and flare.
* 2.7� Wide (16:9) Hybrid Touch Panel Clear Photo LCD Plus Display (211K Pixels): The 2.7� wide (16:9) LCD screen provides excellentviewing clarity with improved resolution. The 211K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.
* Smooth Slow Record: By increasing the record rate from 60 fields per second (fps) to 240 fps for 3 seconds allowing you to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and play the videoback in 12 seconds. This is great for analyzing agolf swing or a viewing a bird in flight. In addition, record an audio track to narrate what is being seen in the video.
* Memory Stick Duo Media Slot: Capture still images up to 2848x2136 resolution, directly onto Memory Stick Duo Media for easytransfer to PCs for e-mailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick media compatible devices.
* Dual Record: While recording video in high definition, you have the ability to capture a 4.6 megapixel still image directly to Memory Stick Duo media.
* Super SteadyShot (Optical)Image Stabilization System: This advanced form ofSony's SteadyShot Image Stabilization system thatcontrols an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies. This optical stabilization systemachieves an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some digital stabilization systems.
* Cinematic Mode: Perfect for creating your own movie masterpieces, the HDR-HC7 cinematic mode lends a 24 frame film-like effect to your recordings.
* i.LINK Interface: The i.LINK interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional interface which enables 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.
* 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 Tele Macro mode will have the subject properly focused with the background unfocussed so that the subject stands out.
* Active InterfaceShoe: The active shoe provides a location directly on the camcorder on which to add optional accessories while providing power and two-way communication to those accessories.
