No more camera shake
If you’re shooting without a tripod blur caused by unsteady hands, a common problem. The stabilization of Optical SteadyShot Active Mode corrects the effects of camera shake for sharp results even when you’re walking along recording.
Low light, no problem
Many camcorders have problems in low light, producing grainy, fuzzy images. The super-sensitive R Exmor ™ CMOS sensor reduces noise for clearer images. Together with the powerful BIONZ processor delivers great results in low light at dusk or in dark interiors.
