| Primarily used by professional videographers, High Definition Video (HDV) recording offers a more vivid picture with higher resolution than conventional MiniDV video. Sony, the leader in HD, closes the gap with the HDRHC1 Handycam® Camcorder. Imagine capturing moments with friends and family in true HD for an extraordinarily sharp image and outstanding clarity. | |
 |
 |
|
With up to 1080 lines of horizontal resolution, the 3.0 Megapixel CMOS Imaging Sensor delivers exceptional video and outstanding still image quality. Unlike traditional CCD Imagers, the CMOS Sensor requires less power for longer shooting times, wide dynamic range and smear-free image reproduction. | |
 | |
 |
|
 | |
| Select Standard Digital Video for recording footage on MiniDV media or High Definition recording for greater detail and a professional look. The Sony HDRHC1 Handycam® Camcorder’s Dual HDV/DV Format Recording gives you the power to choose. | |
 |
|
 | |
| The Real-Time HD Codec Engine produces the HDRHC1 1080i Camcorder’s extraordinary picture. Developed by Sony, this MPEG Encode/Decode system reduces energy consumption and offers enhanced shooting flexibility. Record and playback HD on MiniDV cassettes at the same Bit Rate as standard DV with efficient MPEG2 compression. | |
 |
|
 | |
 | |
| The SwivelScreen™ LCD offers the flexibility to record with greater detail from any angle. The enhanced Hybrid technology reproduces clear images in any lighting environment, eliminating the “wash out” effect in direct sunlight, while the Touch Panel feature lets you set and adjust focus and exposure levels by simply touching the screen. | |
 |
|
 | |
|
The HDRHC1 Handycam® HDV Camcorder also comes equipped with Sony's Super SteadyShot® technology. Super SteadyShot® controls and steadies a high range of shake and vibration frequencies when you zoom in on your subject from a distance, making sure your home videos come out with an advanced level of smoothness. | |
 | |
 |
|
 | |
| The Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* lens improves contrast and enhances colour. Its multi-layer, anti-reflective design allows light to pass through with 80% less ghosting and flare than similar lenses. For enhanced shooting, 10x Optical and 120x Digital Zoom let you get closer to the subject without image degradation. | |
 | |
 |
|
 | |
| The comfortable Manual Zoom and Focus offer the power to capture the picture you want. Dual independent rings provide precise, detailed control and overall focus of the image with a single turn. Capture every detail of the picture with intuitive framing and comfortable focus. | |
 | |
| Perfect for creating your own movie masterpieces, the Sony HDRHC1’s Cinematic Mode recreates a film-like effect to your digital recordings. Lending a 24 frame film effect to video, Cinematic Mode brings the look and feel of the big screen to all your personal moments. | |
