Sony DCR-DVD406E News Release Summary:
8th January, 2007 - Whether it’s a special event, the trip
of a lifetime, or simply capturing the spontaneous moments with
family and friends which make everyday life unique, Sony’s new
DVD Handycam range offers stamina, a powerful zoom and records
directly on to DVD, for ease of sharing and archiving footage.
Storing nearly two hours of great-looking images and 5.1ch
surround sound on 8cm DVD media, the newest Sony DVD Handycam
range captures even more memories for your money.
More record time, more STAMINA
Every Sony DVD Handycam offers the ‘shoot-eject-play’
convenience of direct playback on a standard DVD player. With
the addition of DVD+R DL (Dual-Layer) recording, all new models
can now record for a maximum of 110 minutes, almost doubling the
60 minutes maximum record time of previous-generation DVD
Handycam. The latest Handycam range doesn’t just store more on
every DVD: it offers greater battery stamina than predecessor
models, too. The new H-Series InfoLITHIUM battery dramatically
boosts continuous recording STAMINA to 9 hours (DVD106E, with
optional battery) from a single charge.
Great pictures and superb surround sound
Superb picture and sound quality are assured alongside greater
record time and battery life. Dolby Digital® 5.1 surround sound
recording now features right across the DVD Handycam line-up
(except DVD106E). All models in the line-up feature Carl Zeiss®
optics for better resolution and contrast, and top-flight
DVD406E and DVD506E models feature high-resolution ClearVid CMOS
Sensor technology for supremely crisp, clear images. This Sony
unique sensor reduces smear while increasing dynamic range for
increased detailing in high-contrast scenes.
More comfortable, simpler operation
Image quality and new features aside, latest models are even
easier and more convenient to use. Every DVD Handycam now
includes a Colour Viewfinder for framing and reviewing shots,
while additional Record Start/Stop and zoom buttons are
thoughtfully placed on the border of the camcorder’s flip-out
LCD screen. The new-generation Home menu and Help function on
the LCD touch screen assures intuitive operation.
The DVD406E model features a high resolution (211k
pixels) 2.7-inch Wide Clear Photo LCD plus screen for improved
contrast and a colour range that’s approximately 1.6 times wider
than normal Hybrid LCD screens. All models feature support for
Memory Stick DUO removable media for still image recording,
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity to a PC for editing, and
compatibility with wide range of DVD-R / -RW / +RW / +R DL
media.
Optional Accessories
From lenses, microphones and high-power batteries to tripods and
stylish carry cases – there’s a full range of official
accessories to help you get even more from your Handycam.
New-generation InfoLITHIUM™ H Series batteries feature Hybrid
Lithium-Ion cells and ActiFORCE™ battery technology for higher
capacity and faster recharging plus a more accurate, responsive
indication of remaining capacity. Compatible with all latest
Handycam models, three new batteries (NP-FH100, NP-FH70 and
NP-FH50) offer capacities of 3980mAh, 1800mAh and 900mAh
respectively. All can also be used with older camcorders using P
Series batteries.
Two High Grade Lenses feature a newly-developed optical design
that reduces their size and weight – making them an ideal match
for latest ultra-portable Handycam models. Certified for high
resolution video and still image use, the VCL-HG1737C tele
conversion lens and VCL-HG0737C wide conversion lens are
compatible with DVD406E and DVD506E. Two new wide angle lenses
have also been introduced. The VCL-HA07A and the extremely
compact VCL-E07A offer wider compatibility with the Handycam
range at an even more affordable price.
Other additions include stylish carry cases and the SPK-HCC
Sports Pack that waterproofs your Handycam down to 5 metres.
