Manufacturer Description
The DCR-DVD408 is a high-end Handycam camcorder that records to DVD-R/-RW/+RW/+R DL (Dual Layer) media formats. It allows for exceptional quality and easy sharing capabilities. The Dual Record feature lets you capture still images while recording video, and allows a multitude of video transfer options above and beyond DVD formats.
DCR-DVD408 Highlights
2.1-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor The 1/3-inch ClearVid CMOS sensor with 1430K effective pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. The Megapixel technology enhances your digital videos and digital still photography performance.
DVD format video recording The DVD recording format delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of the DVDs couldn't be simpler. After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD players, computers and even PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles.
DVD-R/RW/+RW/+R DL compatible The DCR-DVD408 is compatible with a variety of DVD formats, which allows for the ease of use and simplicity found in DVD media. With DVD+RW media there is not a need to finalize the disc (minimum recording time required). Simply remove the disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD player.
10x optical/80x digital zoom The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, the Digital Zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
Professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario- Sonnar T* Lens Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating for increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. The additional T* coating on the lens further reduces unwanted glare and flare.
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel recording The DCR-DVD408 will record in Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound through the built-in microphone. By recording in 5.1-channel surround sound, you can now experience your home movies with active sounds coming from all directions. Enjoy your personal home movies the way you experienced them while recording.
2.7-inch widescreen touch-panel Clear Photo plus LCD The 2.7-inch, 16:9 LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high-resolution 211K-pixel LCD rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, and provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.
Smooth slow recording By increasing the record rate from 60 fields per second (fps) to 240 fps for 3 seconds, the DCR-DVD408 allows you to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and play the video back in 12 seconds. This is great for analyzing a golf swing or a viewing a bird in flight. In addition, record an audio track to narrate what is being seen during the video.
Memory Stick Duo media slot Capture still images up to 2304 x 1728 resolution directly onto Memory Stick Duo Media, and easily transfer to PCs for emailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick devices.
Super SteadyShot picture stabilization system 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.
On-screen zoom and record buttons For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-DVD408 features zoom and record buttons on the frame of the LCD screen. This allows the user more flexibility when holding the camcorder, especially in overhead or low-angle shots.
USB 2.0 interface The USB 2.0 interface provides an easy way to connect your DVD Handycam to quickly transfer video and still images to your computer for editing. The camcorder can also be used as an external DVD burner, which is convenient for making copies of your DVDs or burning edited movies.
One-touch wide-angle shooting Easily switch between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios for shooting, with just the touch of a button.
Progressive shutter system A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive-scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition.
