The Impressive Sony HDR-SR1E AVCHD Camcorder
Record and enjoy exceptional quality High Definition movies with this stylish and compact camcorder. With a 30GB Hard Disk Drive there’s no need to worry about tapes or discs, so you can always shoot on the move.
Beautifully Sharp Pictures
The Sony HDR-SR1E features a high quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 10x zoom lens with Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilisation technology, to allow the user to shoot and capture distant subjects without compromising picture quality. Sony’s ClearVid CMOS Sensor improves the picture quality through Exmor technology which boosts the resolution, increases sensitivity and reduces noise, for wonderfully crisp and clear images even when taken at high zoom levels. Due to the range of features within the camcorder, high-speed signal processing is required which is powered by the impressive BIONZ image processor to ensure images are processed effectively.
High Definition Shooting
It is easy to shoot, share and enjoy your movies with the Sony HDR-SR1E camcorder which has all the latest High Definition technology. Connect the camcorder to any HD-ready television to playback movies in unparalleled depth and clarity to help you relive special memories and family occasions. However, the dual HD/SD format also allows you to record in standard definition to store smaller file size footage.
Still Image Capabilities
The Sony HDR-SR1E allows you to effortlessly shoot superb still photographs with up to 4.0 megapixels resolution, allowing you even greater flexibility to capture your perfect shots. You can even capture up to 2.0 Megapixel still images without interrupting video recording – simply select Dual Rec mode.
3.5” Touch-screen
The Sony HDR-SR1E’s 3.5″ Wide Hybrid Clear photo LCD plus touch-screen is perfect for setting up shots and reviewing footage with realistic colour reproduction. Use the screen to access various indexing options so you can quickly and easily find and play selected scenes from your videos.
Additional HDR-SR1E Functionality
With a built-in microphone, the Sony HDR-SR1E camcorder records in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound so you can relive your movies with realistic sound. The built-in flash will also ensure you capture perfectly lit footage, which means you can continue shooting even when the natural light is bad or at night-time.
