(921K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more
easily — even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent
the scene. TruBlack technology brings remarkably higher contrast delivering more
natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing
glare.
Color EVF Crisp Clear Video
Monitoring
A color EVF (electronic view finder) provides clear crisp
representation of your video allowing for proper framing, battery conservation,
and increased stability.
Closer Voice(with Face
Detection)
When the camcorder’s Face Detection technology identifies people
in a scene, an Advanced Acoustic Processor automatically reduces background
noise, resulting in recorded voices with outstanding clarity and
intelligibility.
Tracking Focus follows selected
subjects in/out of the frame
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face
Detection to allow you to select an object with a touch of the LCD and have the
focus follow the selected object, even if it leaves the frame and returns.
