A built-in GPS receiver

makes the HDR-CX260V an ideal choice for travelers. The receiver gives

you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as “tag” your

shooting locations. Tagged videos and still images can be reviewed and played back using

the Map Index function on the camcorder or once downloaded to your PC using the supplied

PlayMemories Home software

. Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder’s

clock to the proper time zone.

Direct Copy to external HDD without PC

Store your memories in a whole new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder

directly to an external hard disk drive

(sold separately), all without a computer. Your camcorder

can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your HDTV

, allowing

you to utilize the camcorder’s handy playback features.

Golf Shot

Building on the slow-motion capture capabilities of Smooth Slow Record, Golf Shot captures a

few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed

individually or as a composite “sequence shot” image, perfect for analyzing the nuances of a

golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action.
