Salient Features of Sony DCR SR 45 HDD
Handycam

30GB High-Capacity Hard Disk Drive
Record up to 21 hours of digital video (over 7 hours in HQ mode for
DVD-quality video) without the need for external or extra media. The
impressive capacity allows for extensive digital video recording
directly to the camcorder Hard Disk Drive.
HDD Smart Protection
Built-in Shock Absorbers protect the hard disk drive from damage
when accidentally dropped or mishandled. 3G Sensor technology
automatically detects falling and removes the HDD write head from
the hard disk to make sure your video is safely guarded. Once
stabilized, the buffered video stream resumes recording and footage
is preserved seamlessly.
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens
Carl Zeiss has teamed up with Sony to deliver high-detail digital
video. The quality and precision of the Vario-Tessar lens guarantees
a crisp, distortion-free picture. Capture every moment with
true-to-life image accuracy and spectacular clarity.
