The brilliant true-to-life quality of 4K

A newly developed lens and image sensor enhance the spectacular definition of 4K resolution2, with particular sensitivity for capturing high-quality movies in low light.

New ZEISS 20x zoom 4K-compatible lens

ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens with 26.8mm widest angle allows more of a subject to fit in frame.

New Exmor R CMOS sensor for 4K

Bigger pixel size improves sensitivity for shooting movies with less noise, even in darkness.

The wonder of high-bitrate 4K and HD

High-bitrate recording3 in XAVC S format clearly captures even changing scenes with a lot of motion.

Super-sampled Full HD Playback on non-4K TV or device

4K movies automatically down-convert to Full HD to play on an HD TV.

Trimming Playback trims movie frame on TV at a touch

Trace a finger on the LCD to trim frame of 4K movie playing on TV in Full HD.

Extra-steady shooting on the move

The short movie below shows the camera shake compensation effects of Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ (right) and optical image stabilisation (left), respectively.

Less image shake within a broad zoom range

For extra-stable movie shooting from wide to telephoto. In HD shooting mode, 5-axis Intelligent Active mode further compensates for camera shake, even when shooting while running.

Focus with stunning speed

Fast Intelligent AF autofocuses not only with exceptional speed, but with uncanny precision, as well.

Fast Intelligent AF speeds up smartly

A new AF algorithm optimises communication between lens and image processor for extra-fast AF, and a state-of-the-art AF range prediction system keeps the subject in sharp focus.

Capture real-life sound

The new microphone structure is designed to capture high-quality sound that conveys fuller ambience with approximately 40% less noise.

More fun, start to finish

The fun of using Handycam® continues even after shooting is done, as you refine, transform and edit the footage into a movie to remember.

High-speed REC for slow-motion movies

Record a movie at a high frame rate such as 120fps/100fps (NTSC/PAL) in Full HD. Slow motion movie4 will reveal startling image quality in every instance of action.

See times change with 4K time-lapse movies4

With Time-lapse Capture, shoot stills of a scene over a period of time with a chosen interval between each shot and edit the sequence into a high-quality 4K time-lapse movie.
