Capture Every Moment in Stunning Clarity with
Super SteadyShot (Optical)
Super SteadyShot (Optical)
With the Optical Active Lens Method, Super SteadyShot (Optical) uses a sensor to detect camera shake and a lens that is controlled to compensate for
any vibration during shooting. This optical method efficiently reduces camera-shake blur, allowing you to enjoy stable recording and superior image quality
for both videos and still images without loss of data quality obtained through the lens and with less distortion.
• HDR-UX5, HDR-SR1 and HDR-HC5 are equipped with Electronic Super SteadyShot.
Blurred image from camera shake The controlled lens effectively reduces image distortion
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T
All HD Handycam ® use the Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Sonnar T* Lens,
which has a multi-layer film coating. The T* coating is the highest
quality multi-layer coating and reduces light reflections and flares
by 52% for clear, concise images.
Extra Low Dispersion Glass
FX7
When light passes through an optical lens, it creates what is known
as "chromatic aberration", leaving a blue colour fringing to the
edge of objects. This is especially noticeable in Tele or Zoom
modes. In order to reduce this effect, the HDR-FX7' s Carl Zeiss
Vario-Sonnar T* Lens uses Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Glass.
This ED Glass is made especially to reduce this effect for clearer,
more precise images without distorted colour fringing.
