The DCR-SR45 gives you the option to store video and still images on your choice
of either its built-in 30GB hard disk drive or removable Memory Stick PRO Duo™
media. A generous 2.7" wide (16:9) touch panel LCD display puts all the controls
at your fingertips as you compose shots, and the high-power 40x optical/2000x
digital zoom gets you close to all the action. Meanwhile, the professional-quality
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens and Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system
captures everything as clearly as if you were still there.
Features:
- 1/8" Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels (Gross)
1/8" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 680K (effective)
Pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to
500 lines of Horizontal Resolution) and still image performance
- 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
- 2.7" Wide (16:9) Touch Panel Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Display
(211K Pixels)
The 2.7" Wide1 (16:9) LCD Screen provides exceptional viewing clarity
with improved Resolution (211K Pixels). The Display rotates up to 270 degrees
for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for
monitoring or playback. The widescreen format makes shooting in 16:9 mode
and composing shots even easier
- Hybrid Recording to Hard Disk Drive or Memory Stick® Media
Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility for transferring
your video footage and Digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing
devices. Record to the camcorder's internal hard disk drive, or choose instead
to record to removable Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™
Media. You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video
or still images from the hard disk drive to Memory Stick media -- without
using a PC. Images recorded or transferred to Memory Stick media can then
be played directly on a PS3 or PC to share your memories with friends and
family
- Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media Slot
Capture still images directly onto Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media (sold
separately) for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with
other compatible Memory Stick® devices (sold separately)
- Quick On
Missing an important scene can be frustrating, especially if the reason is
because your camcorder is turned off. With the Quick On feature, the touch
of a single button places that camcorder in Sleep mode. Another push instantly
wakes the camcorder, so you'll always be ready to capture special moments
- Built-in Zoom microphone with 5.1ch recording
Featuring Dolby® Ditigal 5.1 Creator, the built-in Zoom microphone focuses
audio recording on your subjects in Sync with the camera's Zoom lens, helping
memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds
- Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the
Easy Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked
out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording
- Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact
camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness
and Contrast found with larger lenses
- USB 2.0 Interface
The USB 2.0 interface6 provides an easy way to connect your camcorder to a
PC for fast transfer of video and still images for editing
- InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System
Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries
are not subjected to a life shortening "Memory Effect," so you're
free to charge the battery at any time. Additionally, Sony's exclusive AccuPower™
meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder
or on the LCD Screen
- Stamina® Battery Power Management System
When using the Sony InfoLithium® Battery, the Stamina® Battery Power
Management System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long
continuous recording times from a single charge
- 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. When using the LCD Screen
or viewfinder, the Display will show how much the battery is charged -- in
10% increments -- and the recordable time left
- Fader Effects
Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking Fader effects.
Choose from Black and White

situations. Choose from Beach, Candle, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Sports

Effect Modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Monotone, Pastel and Sepia.

- Face Index
Face Index makes it easier than ever to find and play back the right video
scene. Using Face Detection technology, Face Index indexes your video footage
according to the faces detected in each scene. When it's time to play back
video, simply Search for what you want by selecting from among the detected
faces displayed in the index
- Film Roll Index
Like chapters in a book, Film Roll Index helps you easily find desired scenes
in video footage. When using this feature, the camcorder previews the beginning
of scenes and can create scene indexes set at specified Display intervals
(3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes)
- Manual Focus
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
- One Touch Disc Burn
Easily burn a DVD copy of your footage using the supplied software. Simply
connect the camcorder to your PC via a USB cable and press the One Touch Disc
Burn Button
- On Screen Zoom and Record Buttons

on the frame of the LCD Screen. This allows for more flexibility when holding
the camcorder, especially in overhead or low angle shots

utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp
and clear with excellent definition
