DCR-SR200 Highlights
2.1-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor The 1/3-inch ClearVid CMOS sensor with 1990K effective pixels provides stunning detail and clarity for exceptional video (up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. The Megapixel technology enhances your digital videos and digital still (3980K) photography performance.
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-tolife 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-SR200 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 LCD Plus The 2.7-inch 16:9 LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high-resolution 211K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles and sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. Widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.
One-touch wide-angle shooting Easily switch between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios for shooting, with just the touch of a button.
Smooth slow recording By increasing the record rate from 60 fields per second (fps) to 240 fps for 3 seconds allowing 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.
