From the Manufacturer --------------------- From the Manufacturer Who says you can’t afford digital? Sony’s DCR-TRV260 Digital8 Handycam camcorder gives you digital at an analog price. It features a huge 20X optical zoom lens, a big 2.5" SwivelScreen LCD display and the Night Plus zero-light system, all in a stylish, ultra-compact design. It even includes USB streaming capabilities, which transforms your camcorder into a webcam. Best of all, it records digitally on inexpensive 8mm and Hi8 video tapes, making it the perfect camcorder for anyone stepping up from analog. Digital8 Video : Digital8 format delivers 3X the color bandwidth of VHS with significantly less video noise providing stunning video performance. Digital8 records digital audio and video comparable to MiniDV on affordable Hi8 tapes. With a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced functions of the camcorder are "locked out" leaving only the buttons essential for operational. Sony's i.LINK DV (or MICROMV) interface gives you true digital-to-digital editing, without the "generation loss" of analog editing. And the i.LINK interface is compatible with a range of Sony digital VCRs, Sony edit controllers, and Sony PCs with editing software. Stay connected with family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio, via the Internet with the USB interface. You can even playback your favorite recorded scene stored on tape. It's like having your own web camera or video conferencing system. With Sony's Night Infrared system you can capture natural looking video even when shooting in low light up to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system. Steady Picture Stabilization smoothes and steadies your images without degrading picture quality. Sony does it with motion sensors --- a more accurate system than many other camcorders on the market. Stamina Power Management the combination of low power consumption and an optional InfoLithium battery give Sony Handycam models incredible operating time. To keep tabs on battery life, Sony's AccuPower meter displays the number of minutes remaining -- right in the viewfinder. Battery information is momentarily displayed without having to power on the camcorder. Quickly access the battery's status by pressing the Battery Info button. The Time Available is displayed in minutes on either the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. And more: * 1/6" CCD Imager, 460K Pixels Gross 1/6" CCD imager with 290K (effective) pixels provides great detail and clarity, with exceptional analog video performance. * 20X Optical/990X Digital Zoom The optical zoom helps to bring the action up close 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. * 2.5" SwivelScreen LCD Display (123K Pixels) Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high-resolution 123K pixel LCD rotates up to 270-degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp detailed images for monitoring or playback. * InfoLithium Battery with AccuPower Meter System Charge the battery at any time because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony’s rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony’s exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes in the viewfinder or the LCD screen. * Stamina Battery Power Management System Using the optional NP-QM91D InfoLithium battery, the DCR-TRV260 can continuously record up to 12 hours on one complete charge, providing extra long battery life. * Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes Program AE modes make easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Portrait, Beach & Ski, Sports Lesson, Landscape, Spotlight, Sunset & Moon modes. * Picture Effects Get creative when or playing back videos with Sony’s Picture Effect modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Negative Art, Sepia, Monotone, Solarize, Slim, Stretch, Pastel and Mosaic. Effects available in Playback mode: Negative Art, Sepia, Black & White and Solarize. * End Search Advances the video tape to the last 5 seconds of the recorded scene. This prevents accidentally over previous recorded videos. * Fader Effects Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black, Mosaic, White and Monotone. * Titling Add professional looking titles to your videos, select from 8 preset or 2 customized titles with up to 22 characters. * Built-In White LED Light Brightens your videos when shooting in low light with low power consumption. * Photo Mode Using Sony's unique Adaptive Frame Interpolation for better image quality, you can store hundreds of individual still images with 7 seconds of audio on the videotape. * Manual Focus Allows the user to determine the focus of their choosing by adjusting the cameras focus ring allowing more creativity and/or effects. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the cameras focus in difficult situations where either the subject or environment does not allow the cameras auto-focus to perform at an optimal level.
