HDR-HC9 NEW
High Definition HDV Handycam® Camcorder High definition quality meets practical versatility with the HDR-HC9. Capture crystal clear video through a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T Lens with Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization. Shooting and sharing video and still images is made easy with the HDR-HC9’s 2.7" wide1 LCD screen and Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media slot. Even low-light shots come alive with Super NightShot® technology. 1/2.9” ClearVid™ CMOS Sensor 3.2 Megapixel (Gross) Sony’s original ClearVid CMOS Sensor provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video performance (up to 1080 lines of horizontal resolution in HD format, or 530 lines of horizontal resolution in SD format). Additionally, the megapixel technology enhances your digital still photography experience with the ability to shoot high-resolution (6.1 Megapixel) still images. Unlike traditional CCD Imagers, CMOS Sensors require less power, providing improved battery performance. 10X Optical / 20X Digital Zoom The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom. 2.7" Wide1 (16:9) Touch Panel Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Display (211K Pixels) The 2.7" Wide1 (16:9) LCD screen provides exceptional viewing clarity with improved resolution (211K pixels). The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. The widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier. Dual Record While recording video in High Definition you have the ability to capture still images directly to Memory Stick Duo™ media (sold separately). Switchable HDV/DV Format Recording Record and play back both High Definition and Standard Definition video recorded on standard MiniDV cassettes (sold separately). Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® VarioSonnar® T Lens Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T lenses use highly advanced optics to deliver vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. The additional T coating further reduces unwanted glare and flare for increased contrast and color. Active Interface Shoe Sony’s proprietary hot shoe makes it easy to use Intelligent Accessories, such as external lights and microphones, by providing power and on/off capability directly from the camcorder.
HDMI™ Connection HDMI™ connectivity provides a simple, high-quality video and audio connection, with the ability to transmit HD video from the camcorder to compatible HDTVs via a single cable. i.LINK® Interface (IEEE1394) 5 Quickly transfer images from the camcorder to compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface5 , including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs, using this high speed, bidirectional digital video/audio connection. USB 2.0 Interface6 The USB 2.0 interface6 provides an easy way to connect your camcorder to a PC for fast transfer of video and still images for editing. InfoLITHIUM® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "Memory Effect," so you’re free to charge the battery at any time. Additionally, Sony's exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. Stamina® Battery Power Management System When using the Sony InfoLITHIUM® Battery, the Stamina® Battery Power Management System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge.7 Assignable Buttons For ease of recording, three buttons on the exterior of the camcorder are userassignable so that they can be set to the options most commonly utilized. Battery Information At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. When using the LCD screen or viewfinder, the display will show how much the battery is charged -- in 10% increments -- and the recordable time left. Built-in Intelligent Flash For added clarity and detail when taking pictures in low-light situations, the built-in flash improves pictures and reduces shadows.
Cinematic Mode Perfect for creating your own movie masterpieces, Cinematic mode lends a 24 frame film-like effect to your recordings. Easy Handycam Button Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the Easy Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording. Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media Slot Capture still images directly onto Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media (sold separately) for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick® devices (sold separately).
