Plus display provides exceptional viewing clarity with 230K pixels
resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple
viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for
monitoring or playback |
| The built-in zoom microphone focuses audio
recording on your subjects with the camera's zoom lens, helping
memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds |
| The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable
allows for easy connection to your computer without having to
remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand
strap so it's out of the way until you need it |
| The automatic lens cover protects the Carl
Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens from scratches during transport or while
not in use by closing the lens cover automatically when the camera
is shut off |
| Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 60x
optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining
image quality |

Mode allows for a greater degree of image stabilization over the
well known, Sony developed, SteadyShot stabilization that has been
used for years, giving you more stable video even when on the move
or in low light circumstances |
| Face Detection technology recognizes faces
and optimizes camera settings for both video and still images, so
faces are captured more clearly and skin tones look more natural |
| Store your memories in a whole new way with
the ability to copy videos from your camcorder directly to an
external hard disk drive1(sold separately), all without a computer |
| Your camcorder can also access videos stored
on the external hard drive for playback on your TV, allowing you
to utilize the camcorder's handy playback features. |
| With Film Roll Index, the camcorder previews
the beginning of scenes and creates scene indexes set at specified
display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes). Face
Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected
in each scene |
| The professional-quality Carl Zeiss
Vario-Tessar lens is designed specifically for compact camcorders.
Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast
of larger lenses and SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce
blur caused by camera shake |
| Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond
traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then
automatically selecting the appropriate settings from seven
distinct scene modes (36 different combinations possible):
Landscape, Backlight, Twilight, Spotlight, Macro, Portrait, Tripod |
| The DCR-SX65 features an LED light that can
assist in low-light situations giving you more flexibility when
capturing your video |
