Features
Specifications

The Sony HDR-UX5 AVCHD DVD Handycam Camcorder shoots in genuine 1080i resolution, for real unparalleled HDTV clarity. Its professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens captures brilliant images with life like color and tones, while the 2.1-megapixel CMOS processes faster than a CCD for richer color and better detail. The Progressive Shutter System supplies digital still images with excellent definition and sharpness.

This camcorder comes with a variety of features, including 80x digital zoom, 16:9 widescreen mode, a hot shoe, a USB 2.0 interface, and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. This camcorder records in DVD format MPEG2 and AVCHD onto DVDs. The DR-UX5 is compatible with DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD+R Dual Layer disc formats for easy shooting and storing.

• 10x Optical 80x Digital Zoom: Equipped with a 10x optical zoom that lets you close-in on your subject with a pure optical quality, and the 80x digital zoom that lets you go all the way out for incredible close-ups.

• 1/3" CMOS Sensor: The CMOS sensor has nearly 2.1 effective megapixels that provide incredible clarity. It delivers faster image processing than a CCD, meaning richer color, greater detail, and less glare from objects.

• 2.7" Wide Hybrid LCD: You can use the monitor to check wide-angle shots in digital HD. Because it is a hybrid system, you can still see the LCD monitor outside, even on the brightest and most sunny days. With its 211,000 pixels, the pictures are extra clear and rich for easy detailed viewing.

• 16:9 Widescreen Recording Mode: 16:9 recording mode uses the full width of its CMOS to capture video in actual widescreen for superior playback on home theater systems and PC monitors. Just click the Widescreen Button and switch effortlessly from 4:3 to 16:9.

• Simultaneous Photo Recording: Simultaneous Photo Recording lets you take a photograph while recording video.

• High Quality Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Lens: High resolution video starts with the finest glass lens appropriate to the camera. The HDR-UX5 has a Carl Zeiss designed lens, a world leader in optical technology. With the most advanced glass composition and the most efficient anti-reflective coatings, this HDV camera captures the sharpest most detailed pictures in the most compact design available.

• All DVD Formats: The DR-UX5 is compatible with DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD+R Dual Layer disc formats for easy shooting and storing.

• Super SteadyShot Picture Stabilization: This advanced version of Sony's SteadyShot system controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to achieve an even higher level of smoothness, without degradation of video.

• Super NightShot Plus Infrared System: The Super NightShot Plus Infrared System lets you capture natural-looking video from distances as great as twenty feet.

• Active Interface Shoe: This hot shoe gives you the option of adding accessories such as lights, flashes, and microphones to the camcorder. These accessories can also communicate and draw power from the camcorder through the Active Interface Shoe.

• Memory Stick DUO Media Slot: The Memory Stick DUO Media is 1/3 the size of the standard sized Memory Stick media, while offering the same benefits and capabilities.
