Relive the moment in HD
Record stunning 1920 x 1080 high-definition video and 7-megapixel still images to a 160GB internal hard disk drive. Using an "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for superior low-light performance, the HDR-XR350 also comes equipped with Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with active mode and 3-way shake canceling, which enables you to capture remarkably smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting.
Better shots in low light
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with the newly developed, back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor. Designed specifically for compact cameras and camcorders, the "Exmor R" CMOS sensor is designed to let you shoot video in lower lighting conditions with better results.
Say goodbye to camera shake
Shooting without a tripod can often lead to wobbly videos. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with active mode compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. In addition, innovative 3-way shake canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture.
Superior optical performance
Experience the pinnacle of Sony lens technology with the professional-quality G lens. Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, a short, 27.4mm focal length offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting.
Store and share your memories
Now there's an easy way to transfer and store videos directly from your camcorder to an external hard disk drive, without a computer. You can even use handy playback features of this camcorder to access the videos stored on your external drive and share your memories on a compatible HDTV or monitor.
Shoot your movies in HD
Capture your memories in 24Mbps and record brilliant AVCHD video with amazing clarity and enhanced detail. The AVCHD (Audio Video Compression for HD) codec is ideal for recording on a variety of media.
2x faster quick AF
With the improved autofocus (AF) system, quick AF, the focusing speed is twice as fast compared to previous models. Whether in bright daylight or in dimly lit environment, quick AF ensures fast, accurate, and consistent focus lock, enabling users to shoot in a wide range of scenes without missing any important moment. Especially when shooting night scenes where conventional AF might struggle to focus, thanks to the much improved AF algorithm in quick AF, users can now capture crisp images, fast.
Face Detection technology with face priority
With face priority, your camcorder optimizes focus, color, exposure, and Smile Shutter technology for the face you prioritize. Just touch the preferred face on the LCD display and the camcorder will assign it priority, even if it leaves and returns to the frame.
Film roll index
Like chapters in a book, film roll index helps you easily find desired scenes in video footage. When using this feature, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and can create scene indexes set at specified display intervals.
