Capture your life on hard disk
You never stop making memories. So never stop capturing them. The Handycam® DCRSR45 Handycam camcorder includes 30 GB of built-in hard disk drive (HDD) storage and up to 20 hours of recording time. You can even use the HDD to transfer movies and images that are already on your PC. A generous 2.7" touch panel widescreen (16:9) SwivelScreen LCD keeps all the controls at your fingertips while a 40x optical/2000x digital zoom keeps all the action up close and personal. And when it comes time to share your memories, it couldn't be easier with the One Touch Disc Burn capability.
Quality image capture
The DCRSR45's 1/8" Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) video pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video and still image performance. You'll take great looking digital still images with 340K effective pixels. The 40x optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, the 2000x digital zoom with interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms. This Handycam's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens was designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilizes precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses.
A bright screen with bright ideas
A 2.7-inch Wide (16:9) Touch Panel SwivelScreen LCD display provides excellent viewing clarity. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring and playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.
Help with tough shooting situations
The DCRSR45 includes an advanced version of Sony's SteadyShot® system that controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to achieve an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some other image stabilization systems. And with Sony's Super NightShot® infrared system, you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems. The DCRSR45 also has a Memory Stick Duo media slot that lets you capture still images directly onto Memory Stick Duo media for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick media devices. Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the DCRSR45 are locked out, leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational.
Easily transferred and burned
The DCRSR45 makes it easy to enjoy your home movies. A USB 2.0 interface provides an easy way to connect your DCRSR45 to a computer for fast transfer of video and still images to your computer for editing. The camcorder can also be used as an external storage device, convenient for archiving, storing, and transporting your videos and still images. You can easily burn a DVD copy of your footage using the supplied software. Simply connect your DCRSR45 to your PC via the supplied USB cable and press the One Touch Disc Burn button.
Hybrid recording
Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility for transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices. Record to the camcorder's internal hard disk drive, or choose instead to record to removable Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick PRO Duo media. You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video or still images from the hard disk drive to Memory Stick media, without using a PC. Image recorded or transferred to Memory Stick media can then be played directly on a PS3 or PC to share your memories with friends and family.
That something extra
The DCRSR45 helps you capture great shots and even improve them after shooting. Program AE (Auto Exposure) modes make recording easy when filming in challenging situations. Choose from scene modes including beach, candle, fireworks, landscape, portrait, sports lesson, spotlight, and sunrise & sunset. Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony's picture effect modes. Effects available in camera mode and playback mode are monotone, pastel, and sepia. You can also enhance your personal videos by adding professional-looking fader effects.
Keep an eye on battery power
This camcorder's InfoLithium battery with AccuPower Meter system lets you charge the battery at any time because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect". The DCRSR45's AccuPower meter displays the battery remaining time in minutes, in either the viewfinder of on the LCD screen. At a touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10-percent increments and the recordable time left when using the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.
Find what you're looking for
Face index makes it easier than ever to find and play back the right video scene. Face index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it's time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index. And Film Roll index helps you easily find desired scenes in video footage. When using this feature, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and can create scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes).
