User manual SONY HDR-PJ790VE

[. . . ] Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor® R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor® R CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions. Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization w/ Active Mode On standard SteadyShot camcorders a single “shift lens” is moved in the optical block to offset camera shake. Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ w/ Active Mode moves the entire optical block at once, maintaining the integrity of the optical path and improving shake reduction by up to 13X. [. . . ] It also reduces vignetting (light falloff towards the edge of a scene) and lowers distortion in videos and still photos. Up to 11hr 40min recording with 32GB1 embedded Flash Memory The built-in 32GB1 embedded Flash memory can record and store up to 11 hours 40 minutes of high definition video footage (HD LP mode). 5. 1ch Surround mic for vivid and dynamic surround sound. Dolby® Digital 5. 1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording. Attach an array of accessories via Multi-Interface shoe Sony’s Multi-Interface shoe is specifically designed to offer a common interface across all of Sony’s Digital Imaging products. Quickly and easily attach a vast array of accessories compatible with this interface, including optional video lights, microphones and even Sony’s new Wi-Fi module4, and dramatically increase the quality of your videos. Wireless control, transfer, data backup via Wi-Fi®14 Handycam® camcorders with Multi-Interface shoe are compatible with a myriad of powerful accessories, including Sony’s new optional Wi-Fi adapter ADP-WL1M1.

Shoot high quality AVCHD or web optimized MP4 video Select between HD video in the AVCHD or MP4 format for highest quality or easy transfer and sharing. AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal for capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on your social networks or store on the cloud. MP4 produces smaller files optimized for web viewing and makes wireless transfer a breeze (on select Handycam camcorder’s with Wi-Fi feature and optional accessory ADP-WL1M). CinemaTone presets and 24p recording for cinematic quality video For extra control over image expression, CinemaTone technology is used to deepen the color and recreate film-like color tones. Combined with 24p recording, you’ll have some of the tools you need to fulfill your need for cinematic expression. 55x Extended Zoom to get even closer to the action Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 30x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining HD image quality. Wide Angle G lens to capture more of what you want Experience the pinnacle of Sony® lens technology with the professional-quality G Lens. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording time. Intelligent Auto (180 different scene combinations possible) Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes and wind noise reduction. There are 180 different combinations possible: Portrait, Baby, Walk, Tripod , Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, Low light, Auto Wind Noise Reduction. The camcorder utilizes an advanced sound processor and sophisticated noise reduction algorithms to reduce wind noise by up to 10db compared to other models. In addition to reducing low frequency noise, iAuto also suppresses mid- and upper-frequency noise, resulting in clearer, more enjoyable sound. Record sequential still photos with Golf Shot Building on the slow-motion capture capabilities of Smooth Slow Record, Golf Shot captures a few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed individually or as a composite “sequence shot” image, perfect for analyzing the nuances of a golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action. Built-in Flash The built-in flash will assist in shedding light on your subject when shooting still photos.
