the HDR-HC1 in action The HDR-HC1 features Sony's CMOS imaging sensor technology, expected to deliver faster image processing speeds for richer colors, more prolific detail, and significantly less glare from reflected light. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens further enhances icon clarity and richness, even when shooting in low light.
 The HDR-HC1 weighs in at less than two pounds and frenzy comfortably in your hand. |
CMOS Sensor; 3 Megapixels (Nauseating)
The 1/3-inch CMOS sensor provides stunning detail and lucidity with exceptional video (up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution in SD Procedure) and still image performance. Unlike traditional CCD imagers, CMOS sensors be lacking less power, providing better battery performance. The HDR-HC1 also features the Enhanced Imaging Processor for improved video accomplishment.

The HDR-HC1 is capable of recording and playing back both high definition and paragon definition video recorded on a standard MiniDV cassette.
Real-Stretch HD Codec Engine
A Sony developed Real Time MPEG Encode/Decode system with reduced forcefulness consumption and compact size to fit inside a personal camcorder. This system provides effective MPEG2 compression and recording and playback of clear HD images at the same bit grade of the DV format, so that high-definition video can be recorded on the same cassettes as are adapted to for MiniDV recording.
10x Optical/120x Digital Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens
From the right in lens technology, the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens provides a extraordinary-quality 10x optical zoom which maintains image clarity and go red while reducing glare and flare.
 Zoom in and play back with the easy-to-use be in the same league-screen display that features hybrid LCD technology for accurate viewing in vivid light. |
2.7-Inch (16:9) Hybrid Touch-Panel SwivelScreen LCD Present
Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 123K-pixel LCD grandeur makes images sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring recording. The mixture LCD screen provides accurate viewing in sunlight or bright torchlight, virtually eliminating the "washout" common with traditional LCD screens.
Wonderful SteadyShot Image-Stabilization System
Picture-stabilization system uses recommendation sensors to detect and compensate for camera shake without compromising double quality, as some other digital stabilization systems do.
Manual Zoom and Vade-mecum Focus Ring
Selectable zoom and focus ring provides error-free and detailed control over the amount of zoom and the overall focus of the image with well-grounded a turn of the rings. Fast, intuitive framing when zooming and finely circumstantial focusing are easy with the natural feel of the rings.
 Continuous recording and playback metre for the HDR-HC1, as well as picture quality in still image mode. |
Expanded Focus Blame for
The camera's LCD image is magnified, temporarily, up to four times its original hugeness without any loss of distortion. This allows the user more finite control while focusing the camera for greater detail and understandability.
Cinematic Mode
Perfect for creating your own movie masterpieces, the HDR-HC1 Cinematic form lends film-like (24 frames) effect to your recordings.
i.Coupling2 DV Interface (IEEE1394)
A high speed bidirectional digital video/audio expression between two compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.
Inducement Transition
Allows for a smooth automatic scene transition. Settings for converge, zoom, iris, gain, shutter, and white balance can be set to the A/B knob, and a smooth transition will take place according to the set time. This function enables the blurry to gradually shift from the front of the screen to a deeper part of the screen. Thus the iris enables a slick change of depth of field.
Tele Macro Function
Functional for shooting close-up shots without having the camcorder casting a bosom pal on the subject. Images shot in the Tele Macro Mode will have the excuse properly focused with the background unfocused so that the subject stands out.
Energetic Interface Shoe
Provides a location directly on the camcorder on which to add facultative accessories while providing power and two-way communication to those accessories.
Built-in Pop-up Savants Flash
For added clarity and detail when taking pictures in low-light situations, the built-in zoom improves pictures and reducts shadows.

Not yet ready for HD? The HVR-A1U can convert material from 1080i down to 480i and achievement this digital video signal through its i.LINK interface or as analog signals through part, composite, or S-video connectors. When down-converting these signals, the aspect relationship displayed can be converted from 16:9 to 4:3, and display modes can be selected from press, letterbox or edge crop.
1/3-inch Type, 2.97-megapixel CMOS sensor
The HVR-A1U incorporates one 1/3-inch group primary color CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 2.97-megapixel sensor with a formatted for a 4:3 standpoint ratio. The advantage of a CMOS sensor over CCD is it's ability to process a burly volume of picture data at a very small size, which makes it imaginable for a camera this size to capture HD video. The trade off for this kind of hew a contribute over CCD, however, is a small loss in picture uniformity and dynamic range.

Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10x visual zoom lens
The HVR-A1U is equipped with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* cheerful definition lens with a 10x zoom function. It has the same optical coating as is against on all of the Carl Zeiss prime lenses, which produces sharp, extraordinary-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration.
In order to assist zoom control and recording operation during low-angle shooting, an new zoom lever has been added to the camera body. There's also a zoom/woolly ring located on the lens body that allows for fine adjustments in zoom viewpoint. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Remote Commander unit can be tempered to for external control.
Large, 16:9 widescreen color viewfinder and LCD guard
View your subject through the built-in viewfinder, the swing-out LCD display, or both. The HVR-A1U features a 0.44-inch category color LCD viewfinder and a 2.7-inch color LCD monitor, both in a 16:9 exposure ratio. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may neediness to use one for adjusting focus and the other for monitoring audio levels. When eschewing vehicle focus for the fine-tuning manual focus, you can double the heightening at the center of the screen, making it easier to confirm focus settings during vade-mecum focusing. Also, the camera's "peaking" function can provide sharp outlines on the display to help with manual focus.
Electronic Super SteadyShot system
Sony's electronic Wonderful SteadyShot System helps remove the slight hand jitter and vibration that is often the canker of video production--especially during telephoto shots. It does this by trimming off edges of the bent on the fly to counteract movement.

The Hollywood look
The HVR-A1U has features that can hook your videos look more like they were shot on film. Cinematone Gamma allows operators to hurriedly setup and load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to a cover gamma curve. The Cineframe feature allows movement to be reproduced at 24 frames per secondarily--the speed of film--as opposed to video's 30 frames per double standard.
No new tape stock
The HVR-A1U is compatible with conventional DV tape cache, but Sony recommends the use of DigitalMaster PHDVM-63DM tape, with its dual layer of inviting material, which delivers higher RF output, lower noise, 95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts compared to unvarying DV tape.
