1/2.88" "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor with ClearVid array
A 1/2.88" "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor delivers bright, vivid, spectacularly detailed video footage, as well as 12 mega-pixel still images. With 6 mega-pixel (effective) video resolution, the image sensor actually captures video at four times the density of high definition resolution resulting in a sharper and more detailed 1920 x 1080 HD picture. In addition, "Exmor R" technology captures images with high resolution and high sensitivity, while the advanced Sony BIONZ image processor improves camera response time and screens out noise to help ensure that the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible.
Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with the newly developed, back-illuminated "Exmor R" sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the "Exmor R" sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light-gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.
Face detection technology for video footage and digital still photos
Made possible by the BIONZ image processing engine, Face detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and by selecting the most prominent, automatically controls focus, exposure, and color to help capture smiling faces brightly and clearly. Face detection technology also helps make skin tones look natural without affecting other colors in the image. On AVCHD models, the camcorder allocates encoding bits on detected face areas prior to encoding other parts of the picture, making them sharper and clearer. In still picture mode, Face detection technology sets the flash level to optimize picture clarity.
Smile Shutter technology for still and dual capture
Smile Shutter technology lets the camcorder automatically take still photos when your subject smiles, even while shooting high definition video. You can also set the sensitivity and choose child, adult, or auto priority.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with active mode
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with active mode represents the next step forward in Sony image stabilization technology. Active mode improves on existing optical SteadyShot image stabilization by allowing the camera lens to shift over a greater range of motion. This allows the HDR-CX520V to compensate for greater degrees of camera shake and deliver a stunning level of image smoothness. Taking it a step further, 3-way shake-canceling improves on the highly effective vertical and horizontal optical image stabilization by adding electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture.
3.0" wide touch panel clear photo plus LCD display
The 3.0" wide touch panel clear photo plus LCD display renders sharp, bright, photo-quality images, letting you compose and share video and still images more easily - even outdoors. The convenient touch panel allows easy access to menus and additional functionality such as spot focus and spot metering.
Professional-quality Sony G lens
Designed specifically to complement the "Exmor R" CMOS sensor with ClearVid array, the professional-quality Sony G lens delivers superior optical performance. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass reduces chromatic aberration for more accurate color reproduction with less "fringing", and precision ground optics offer stunning resolving power to bring you sharp, amazingly detailed images.
Dolby digital 5.1ch recording with built-in zoom microphone
Dolby digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording. The Built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects in sync with the camera's zoom lens.
Smooth slow record
The smooth slow record mode increases the record rate from 60 frames per second (fps) to 240 fps, allowing you to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and play the video back in 12 seconds. This is a great tool for analyzing a golf swing or a viewing a bird in flight. In addition, you can record an audio track to narrate the video footage.
HDMI connection
The high-definition multimedia Interface is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV).
BIONZ image processor
The BIONZ image processor works in conjunction with the "Exmor R" CMOS sensor with ClearVid array for pristine imaging. The BIONZ image processor provides Data Noise Reduction, Faster image processing, and Data compression to preserve videos and images. In addition, the BIONZ image processor enables Face Detection technology and Sony's Dynamic Range optimizer for both video and still image capture. The higher processing speed also allows Dual Recording to capture still images while recording video.
BRAVIA Sync technology
BRAVIA Sync technology offers greater ease of use in controlling compatible Sony products connected via an HDMI connection. HDMI connectivity provides a simple; high-quality video and audio connection, with the ability to transmit HD video and up to 5.1 channel audio directly from the camcorder to compatible HDTVs via a single HDMI cable, sold separately. With BRAVIA Sync technology, the HDMI connection also delivers the ability to control both the camcorder and HDTV using a single BRAVIA TV remote and displays the camcorder's playback menu on screen for easier navigation.
Dynamic Range optimizer
The D-Range (Dynamic Range) optimizer function adjusts the exposure and contrast of an image to counter the effects of high-contrast shooting condition, allowing for a great shot every time. The D-Range optimizer suppresses "blackout" in dark areas such as shadows and "whiteout" in bright areas such as skies. As a result, the captured image appears as natural as the original scene.
