Sony HDR-PJ430V Specification Guide
Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically
selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes and wind noise reduction. There are 180 different
combinations possible: Portrait, Baby, Walk, Tripod , Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, Low light, Auto Wind
Noise Reduction. The camcorder utilizes an advanced sound processor and sophisticated noise reduction algorithms
to reduce wind noise by up to 10db compared to other models. In addition to reducing low frequency noise, iAuto also
suppresses mid- and upper-frequency noise, resulting in clearer, more enjoyable sound.
Take sequential still photos with 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.
