Product Details
Sony DCR-HC48 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder - DCRHC48
With a 1 megapixel CCD, the DCR-HC48 MiniDV Handycam® camcorder captures every
detail of every frame. And you’ll get everything in the frame with the 25x optical/2000x
digital zoom through the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens. The 2.7”2 wide hybrid
touch panel LCD displays your video in vivid detail while allowing you to easily
control the camcorder’s features. You even have better control over your video
clarity with Super SteadyShot® image stabilization and Super NightShot® Plus.
And with the built-in Memory Stick Duo™ media slot and the supplied Handycam®
Station, it’s quick and simple to share everything you’ve recorded.

1.0 Megapixel (Gross) Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager
1/6” Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 690K (effective)
pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up
to 520 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. The
Megapixel technology enhances your digital videos and digital still photography
performance.
MiniDV Recording
The DCR-HC48 offers up to 520 lines of horizontal resolution, 3X the color
bandwidth and a significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide spectacular
video performance.
25X 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 color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle
tones.
2.7” Wide (16:9) Touch Panel Hybrid LCD Display2 (123K Pixels)
The touch panel screen provides excellent viewing clarity for both 16:9
and 4:3 aspect ratios 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.
One Touch Wide Angle Shooting
Easily switch between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios with just the touch of
a button.
Super SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System
The picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to detect and compensate
for camera “shake” without compromising picture quality like some other
digital stabilization systems.
Handycam® Station
The supplied Handycam Station cradle provides quick and easy connections
to a compatible TV for viewing or to a PC for editing and sharing video.
Just placing the camcorder on the Handycam Station instantly makes the
connections. No need to search for cables or wires when charging or playing
back.
InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System
Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries,
Sony's rechargeable lithium ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening
“memory effect.” The exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time
remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
i.LINK® DV Interface2
The i.LINK DV interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional
interface which enables 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.
Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick Duo® Media3
Capture still images up to 1152x864 resolution directly onto Memory Stick
Duo™ Media for easy transfer to PCs for e-mailing, printing, or sharing
with other compatible Memory Stick™ devices.
Tele Macro Function
This functionality is useful for shooting close-up shots without having
the camcorder casting a shadow on the subject. Images shot in the Tele
Macro mode will have the subject properly focused with the background
unfocused so that the subject stands out.
Manual Focus
With manual focus, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder
using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows you 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.
Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System
With Super NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural looking
video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet
away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome
color common with earlier low-light recording systems.
On Screen Zoom and Record Controls
For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-HC48 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.
Stamina® Battery Power Management System
Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLithium® battery, the DCR-HC48 can continuously
record for up to 10 hours (viewfinder) or up to 9 hours (LCD) on a single
full charge, providing extra long battery life1.
