As well as offering high compression efficiency, variable Bit Rate recording adjusts bit rates while shooting, balancing optimal picture quality with maximum storage efficiency for higher picture quality. High Definition recording directly onto the camcorder’s hard disk drive means there’s no need to carry any tapes or discs when you step out with the latest HDR-SR Series. Not having to change media in the middle of recording means you don’t miss any moment while shooting. Phenomenal record times are complemented by HDD Smart Protection technology - so your precious memories are safeguarded, even in the event of unexpected bumps and jolts while you’re shooting.
Sony HDR-SR5 handycam - Superb HD picture quality
The Sony HDR SR5 model uses the AVCHD format to capture HD 1080 images for incredible detail and vibrant colours. The ClearVid CMOS sensor with Enhanced Imaging Processor offers excellent dynamic range and reduced smear compared with conventional CCD sensors. Exceptional sensitivity with a minimum illumination of only 2 lux (Auto Slow Shutter “ON”) allows successful shooting in twilight or dimly-lit interiors.

Based on the new xvYCC international standard, x.v.Colour technology assures supremely life-like colour reproduction. Compared to conventional camcorders, x.v.Colour approximately doubles the range of colours that can be reproduced, very close to what human eye can recognise. This ensures vivid, expressive tonal reproduction with greater detailing and clarity when viewed on the growing range of xvYCC compliant televisions and players including Sony Blu-ray player BDP-S1.
