This digital camcorder features a 2.5-inch LCD that provides brilliant images–plus you can swivel the screen angle up to 270 degrees to include yourself in the picture. The LCD also has antiglare and antifingerprint treatments that will help to eliminate smudges, and offer easier cleaning. The precision color viewfinder with 180,000 pixels provides excellent viewing clarity, with increased resolution. The InfoLithium battery with the AccuPower system is Sony’s smallest lithium ion battery to date, and will show you the remaining battery power in minutes in the LCD or the viewfinder. New digital picture effects allow you to get very creative with your shots. There are six digital effects: still, flash motion, luminance key, slow shutter, trail, and old movie, plus eight different picture effects. Using Sony’s unique Adaptive Frame Interpolation for better image quality, you can store up to 700 individual still photos on a 60 minute cassette in the LP mode. This camcorder also includes a built-in speaker with volume control.
