40X
Optical/2000X 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
colour saturation and perfect
renditions of subtle tones.
Super
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.
2.5"
Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD
Display
(123K Pixels)
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.
i.LINK®
DV Interface
A digital high-speed
bi-directional interface which
provides Audio/Video
communication between two
compatible devices. This
connection allows for pure
digital transfer between devices
equipped with an IEEE1394
interface, such as camcorders,
digital VTRs, capture cards and
PCs.
NightShot® Plus Infrared System
With Sony's NightShot Plus
Infrared System you can capture
natural looking video, even when
shooting in low light. Record
subjects up to 10 feet away
using the built-in infrared
system, but without the overall
monochrome colour common with
earlier low-light recording
systems.
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.
On
Screen Zoom and Record Controls
For additional control of the
camcorder, the DCR-HC37 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.
Scene
Selection Modes
Scene Selection modes make
recording easy even when filming
in challenging situations.
Choose from Beach, Candle,
Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait,
Sports Lesson, Spotlight, and
Sunrise & Sunset.
Picture Effects
Get creative when recording
or playing back your videos with
Sony's Picture Effect Modes.
Effects available in Camera
mode: Mosaic and Pastel. Effects
available in Playback mode:
Monotone, Negative Art, Sepia
and Solarize.
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.
Fader
Effects-3
Enhance your personal videos
by adding professional looking
fader effects. Choose from
Black, Monotone, Mosaic and
White.
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.
