Design and ergonomics
Weighing 190g without the battery and with dimensions 54 x 55 x 124mm, the Sony DCR-SX20 features a 2.7" Clear Photo LCD display, providing 230K pixels resolution viewing clarity. Clear Photo LCD Plus, an improved version of Clear Photo LCD, allows users to check the composition and subject colours clearly even outdoors. Clear Photo LCD Plus features the same 230,000-pixel screen resolution as Clear Photo LCD, but offers roughly 1.6 times better colour reproduction. Now users can check the framing and focus more clearly even when shooting in bright outdoor conditions.
Activate camera features such as video playback controls, Program AE, effects mode, search and title entry by a simple touch on the generously sized LCD screen. For added protection, the touch panel is specially treated against dirt and unwanted fingerprints.
This high-quality touchscreen displays your shots with superb detail, high contrast and vibrant, true-to-life colours. The screen’s high contrast and wide viewing angle ensures you can see things clearly, even outdoors in bright daylight.
Lens and Audio-Visual Quality
The Sony lens features a 50X optical zoom as well as a Digital Zoom of 1800X.
Capturing Standard definition footage of 720 x 480 resolution and photos of 640 x 480 resolution, the DCR-SX20 features a Dolby Digital 2ch audio format.
Recording System Features
This camera records in Standard definition to Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Duo HG cards (the same cards used widely in digital stills cameras) which means users store their video footage onto small, interchangeable and reusable media. Recording direct to memory cards means there are no moving parts in the recording section, which means that the video camera is exceptionally resistant to impact and tough conditions and the use of memory card recording media is in part responsible for the ultra compact build achievable with flash memory video cameras. Memory cards are also easy to store and to use as archive material.
Technology Features
Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you connect to a DVD burner (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.
Optical SteadyShot (Active) mode uses a camera shake correction angle 10 x wider than conventional image stabilisers to reduce camera shake. Now you can shoot smoother movie footage while chasing children or strolling around sightseeing.
Face Detection automatically detects faces and adjusts focus, exposure and colour balance to produce well exposed, sharp and natural looking skin tone.
While shooting your original movie footage, Smile Shutter automatically detects and takes a photograph of your subject if he or she smiles. It’s a great way to record snapshots of smiling friends and family members!
This Handycam model has a Quick Start-up feature, which allows you to just flip open the LCD and you’re ready to shoot in less than a second.
