1920 x 1080 high definition video recording
 
1920 x 1080 high definition resolution lets you record your 
memories in exceptional Sony® Full High Definition quality . The high definition, AVCHD, video captured with the HDR-
CX520V can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for PC, but is also fully compatible with iMovie®

64GB Flash memory
 
The built-in 64GB embedded Flash Memory can record and store up to 25 hours of high 
definition video footage (HD LP mode), or up to 44 hours of standard definition footage (SD LP mode).
1/2.88” "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor with ClearVid™  array
 
A 1/2.88” "Exmor R"™  CMOS image sensor 
delivers bright, vivid, spectacularly detailed video footage, as well as 12 megapixel still images. With 6 megapixel 
(effective) video resolution, the image sensor actually captures video at four times the density of high definition 
resolution resulting in a sharper and more detailed 1920 x 1080 HD picture. In addition, "Exmor R" technology captures 
images with high resolution and high sensitivity, while the advanced Sony® BIONZ™  image processor improves 
camera response time and screens out noise to help ensure that the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible.
Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor
 
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity 
and drastically reduced grain with the newly developed, back-illuminated "Exmor R" sensor. Designed for compact 
cameras and camcorders, the "Exmor R" sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing 
the light-gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions. Approx. 2x increase 
in sensitivity compared to Sony's existing front-illuminated CMOS sensors at F2.0.
Geotagging with built-in GPS receiver
 
A built-in GPS receiver makes the HDR-CX520V 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 PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software . 
Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder's clock to the proper time zone.
