Sony HDR-PJ650V Specification Guide
Select between HD video in the AVCHD or MP4 format for highest quality or easy transfer and sharing.AVCHD provides
premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal for capturing precious memories at special
occasions, family vacations and other moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments
that you want to quickly share on your social networks or store on the cloud. MP4 produces smaller files optimized for
web viewing and makes wireless transfer a breeze (on select Handycam camcorder’s with Wi-Fi feature and optional
accessory ADP-WL1M).
Wide Angle G lens to capture more of what you want
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, the 26.8mm focal length in Photo and Video Modes offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle
shooting.
New Advanced Sound System for Premium Audio
Premium video demands premium audio. This is why Sony has enhanced the sound system in select Handycam
®
camcorders. A wider dynamic range allows for clearer and cleaner sound recording when shooting in areas with either
too much background noise or where the audio level is too low. Additionally, manual audio level adjustment allows users
to fine tune sound recordings. These improvements add on to existing features of Wind Noise Reduction and Closer Voice
technology that work with the camcorder’s built in face-detection technology to automatically reduces background
noise.
CinemaTone presets and 24p recording for cinematic quality video
For extra control over image expression, CinemaTone technology is used to deepen the color and recreate film-like color
tones. Combined with 24p recording, you’ll have some of the tools you need to fulfill your need for cinematic expression.
Advanced controls with expanded focus, zebra, and peaking
The HDR-PJ650V provides advanced capture and control features that are often considered the domain of professional
cameras including expanded focus for precise manual focus control, zebra and peaking for precision focus and exposure
