Multi-memory movement
There are a lot of ways to remember things. Some people keep lists. Some people have verbal or visual mnemonics. Some people just have exceptionally good memories. But the most successful people? They have multiple ways of remembering. Sony knows that its compact Handycam camcorders are responsible for more than just shopping lists, though — they record and keep the memories that you want to keep for a lifetime. The DCRSX65 camcorder has two ways of keeping track of your memories. first, the built-in 4GB SSD flash memory lets you store things directly on the camcorder. Then, just in case you need it, there's also slots for removeable media, such as SD cards or Sony's MemoryStick so you can record and keep more memories.
Avoid “see-sickness�
No, we didn’t misspell it, the condition known as “see-sickness� is caused by viewing badly shot home videos. You may have experienced it yourself: shaky camera, long distance shots, bad lighting and framing. Sony’s DCRSX65 takes a firm stance against these types of videos by providing tools to alleviate these travesties. First, their SteadyShot image stabilization technology keeps your camera steady even when your hand might not be. Then, their 70x zoom makes sure that you have plenty of options to frame any shot, whether it’s happening right in front of you, or a good distance away. Finally, Intelligent-auto modes analyze what you’re shooting and choose from seven distinct scene modes to make sure that lighting, focus, and color are appropriate for what you’re shooting. By using the Sony Handycam, “see-sickness� will soon become an unpleasant thing of the past. Do your part today.
View and review
Sure, the Sony DCRSX65 makes capturing memories easy, but what about the rest of the process? Step-by-step, the Sony Handycam’s got your back. The 3.0� touch LCD viewscreen makes reviewing your movies easy: plenty of room to see exactly what you need to see, and the intuitive touch screen interface makes navigation fun and simple. A built-in USB connection simplifies transferring your files from the camcorder to your computer (no more searching for the right connection). Finally, the included software makes organizing your movies easy on a Windows PC, allowing you to find and sort by everything from reel, time, or to a specific person’s face. Plus, if you have an external hard drive you store your video on, you can transfer it directly from the camcorder without the need to stop at your PC first.
