BRAND NEW Sony DCR-DVD705E DVD PAL Camcorder

Watch your home movies come to life like never before with the DCR-DVD705 DVD Handycam® camcorder from Sony. Enjoy the extra large 2.7" wide LCD screen, which swivels and adjusts to optimize the viewing angle for easy recording. Not only can you record digital video, but you can also capture quality digital still images at up to 1 Megapixel. Fully equipped with a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens, you can capture professional quality digital video and images with enhanced color and clarity. The 12X optical zoom brings the action close with minimized distortion. The Super NightShot® Plus infrared system lets you record in low light conditions. As with all of Sony’s DVD Handycam® camcorders, you can conveniently record directly to DVD. 1.0 Megapixel Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 1070K Pixels Gross 1/5.5" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD imager with 690K effective video pixels provides excellent detail and clarity, for exceptional digital video (up to 520 lines of resolution) and still image performance. Realize great looking digital still images with 1,000K effective pixels. 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 video game consoles. 12X/800X 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-Tessar® Lens Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones. SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera “shake" without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems. 2.7" Wide Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display (123K Pixels) The 2.7" Wide (16:9) LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier. InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony’s rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening “memory effect". Sony’s exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the approximate battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. On Screen Zoom and Record Buttons For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-DVD705 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. DVD-R/RW and +RW Compatible The DCR-DVD705 is compatible with a variety of DVD formats allowing the easy of use and simplicity found in DVD Media. With DVD+RW media there is not a need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required). Simply remove the disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD Player. Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System With Sony’s Super NightShot Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems. Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Beach and Ski, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Sports Lesson, and Sunset and Moon. Fader Effects Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black, Overlap, White and Wipe. Manual Focus Allows the user to manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder’s auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment. Conversion Software Nero Express software is included for easy duplication and conversion from 3” Media to 5 ј Media. Battery Information At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10% increments and the recordable time left when using the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. Easy Handycam Button Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are “locked out" leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational. Picture Effects Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony’s Picture Effect Modes. Effects available in camera and playback modes: Monotone, Mosaic, Pastel, and Sepia. Stamina® Battery Power Management System Using the optional NP-FP90 InfoLithium® Battery, the DCR-DVD705 can continuously record for up to 8 hours on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life.   Specifications: CAMERA    Minimum Illumination (w/ Night Shot): 7 lux (0lux) White Balance: Auto / Outdoor / Indoor /one-push(Setup) Shutter Speed: Auto / 1/3-1/3500 Auto Shutter Color Slow Shutter (in "MOVIE") Auto Non Flicker Exposure Control: (Touch Panel)(24 steps) Backlight Compensation Iris Control / Gain Control: Auto only / Auto only Review Self Timer: Yes (Touch Panel) Disc Title Camera Noice Reduction 16:9Wide (Full/Cinema) Date/Time Auto Indication SteadyShot Manual Focus   Auto Focus   CCD (1/4.7"(3.8mm)1152H)     Interlace Advanced HAD Technology Number of pixels: 670K  Program AE: (Portrait, Beach & Ski, Sports Lesson, Landscape, Spotlight, Sunset & Moon) Fader: Black, Overlap, Wipe Clock setting: World Clock LENS / ZOOM: CZ lens Zoom Key (Seesaw/Lever/Ring) Lever/Button on LCD frame F 1.8 - 2.5 f (Focal distance) 3.0 - 36mm In MOVIE Rec position 48 - 576mm In STILL Rec position 40 - 480mm Filter Diameter 25mm 12x optical zoom 800x Digital Zoom VIEWFINDER: Color CVF   Size 0.75cm 0.3" Dots 123K dots Backlight Select AUDIO: Dolby AC3 2ch Recording Dolby AC3 2ch Playback Built-in Microphone Wind Position (Auto) Speaker Speaker Volume Control Multi Sound Switch (HiFi Sound) RECORDER/PLAYER:  Slow Playback Visual Index Linear Time Counter Data Code OSD On/Off  (Tact) OSD Output (Line out/LCD/VF) Photomovie Create PAL Playback on NTSC TV - NO Format (Physical) DVD-R/-RW/+RW Format (Logical) DVD-Video/DVD-VR/ DVD+RW Video Playlist Edit   Original Edit     JACK  Multi AV (output only) DC IN LCD SCREEN: Size 2.7" Wide (16:9ratio) Number of pixels 123,200 dots (560x220) LCD On/Off Backlight Bright Select Brightness Control Color Control Upside Down / Mirror Opening Angle 90 deg Turning Angle   Counter Clockwise 180 deg Clockwise 90 deg For Monitoring 0 deg OTHERS: Charge on camcorder SET UP Auto Shut Off (Setup)   Beep Sound / On/Off  (Setup) Warning Message InfoLITHIUM system Disc/Battery Remaining Indicator REC Time Indicator Battery Info Demonstration Mode Mass (w/o Tape, Battery, etc.) 380g Power Consumption 3.0W/3.4W Power Requirements  8.4V/7.2V Dimension (WxHxD) 54x88x129mm Carton size (WxHxD) 240x137x177mm Mass (w/ Battery NP-FP50): 430g Digital Picture Effects     STILL PICTURE: Recording Media DVD-R/-RW/+RW Format DVD-R/-RW/+RW Image Size 1152x648 Compression JPEG Exif2.2 Date / Time Continuous file number REC Image Delete (One/All) Review Playback Zoom Slide Show Burst Rec Normal Speed Auto Exposure Bracketting Progressive Shutter System DISC TOOL: Format Finalize Un-Finalize SUPPLIED ACCESSORY:  AC adaptor Rechargeable Battery Pack AV Cable Lens Cap Cleaning cloth Sony DCR-DVD705E DVD PAL Camcorder
