HDR-SR12 Handycam Highlights
1920x1080 recording Record stunning, incredibly detailed video footage in the clarity of 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution.
5-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor (with Exmor Technology) and Bionz image processor
Sony's newly-designed CMOS image sensor delivers bright, vivid, and
spectacularly detailed 5-megapixel (effective) video footage, as well
as 10.2-megapixel still images -- all with prolonged battery life.
Exmor technology captures images with high resolution and high
sensitivity. In addition, the advanced Sony Bionz image processor
improves camera response time and screens out noise so the signal from
each pixel is as pure as possible.
Professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 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.
Bionz image processor
The advanced Sony Bionz image processor uses hardware-based Large Scale
Integrated (LSI) circuitry that improves camera response time, screens
out noise before RAW data conversion, handles Dynamic Range
Optimization processing, and prolongs battery life.
Exmor imaging sensor
Exmor technology captures video and still photo images with high
resolution, high sensitivity, and exceptional detail. Advanced
on-sensor A/D conversion yields rich tonal reproduction with high
signal-to-noise ratio.
Hybrid recording to hard disk drive or Memory Stick media
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 120GB 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. Images
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.
Dual Record
While recording video in High Definition you have the ability to
capture still images directly to Memory Stick Duo media (sold
separately).
12x optical/150x digital zoom The

experienced them while recording.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
Powered by the exclusive Sony’s Bionz high-speed processing engine,
D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights, such as
suppressing "whiteout" in skies. When shooting in backlit settings,
D-Range Optimization reveals more detail in shadows, preventing
"blackout." As a result, the captured image appears as natural as the
original scene.
Face Detection for video footage and digital still photos
Made possible by the Bionz image processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and
automatically controls focus, exposure, and color to help capture
smiling faces brightly and clearly. Face Detection also helps make skin
tones look natural without affecting other colors in the image.
Tele Macro Function Images shot in the Tele Macro Mode help your
subject stand out by properly focusing the subject while leaving the
background unfocussed. The Tele Macro Mode is useful for shooting
close-up shots, especially when you need to prevent the camcorder from
casting a shadow on the subject.

from among the detected faces displayed in the index.
Film Roll Index
Like chapters in a book, Film Roll Index helps you easily find desired
