The Sony® HDR-XR100 Handycam® camcorder records stunning, 1920 x 1080 high definition video and crystal 
clear still photos to a built-in 80GB hard disk drive. Building on the convenience of Face Detection technology, the 
HDR-XR100 features Smile Shutter™  technology, which can automatically detect smiles and shoot still images, even 
while recording video.

you record your memories in 
exceptional Sony® Full High Definition 
quality .

80GB hard disk drive:
A built-in 80GB hard disk drive can 
record and store up to almost 32 hours 
of high definition video footage (HD LP 
mode), or up to almost 56 hours of 
standard definition footage(SD LP 
mode). In addition, “HDD Smart 
Protection” gives you peace of mind by 
helping to prevent any recorded video 
and images from being lost if the 
camcorder is accidentally dropped.
Face Detection technology for Video 
Footage and Digital Still Photos:
Made possible by the BIONZ™  image 
processing engine, Face Detection 
technology recognizes up to 8 faces 
anywhere in the frame and by selecting 
the most prominent, automatically 
controls focus, exposure, and color to 
help capture smiling faces brightly and 
clearly. Face Detection technology also 
helps make skin tones look natural 
without affecting other colors in the 
image. On AVCHD models, the 
camcorder allocates encoding bits on 
detected face areas prior to encoding 
other parts of the picture, making them 
sharper and clearer. In still picture 
mode, Face Detection technology sets 
the flash level to optimize picture 
clarity.
Smile Shutter™  technology for still and 
dual capture:
Smile Shutter™  technology lets the 
camcorder automatically take still 
photos when your subject smiles, even 
while shooting high definition video. 
You can also set the sensitivity and 
choose child, adult, or auto priority.
SteadyShot™  image stabilization: 
SteadyShot™  image stabilization 
reduces blur caused by camera shake 
and vibration, so your images stay 
crisp and clear.

2.7” wide (16:9)  touch panel Clear 
Photo LCD Plus™  display provides 
excellent viewing clarity with improved 
resolution (211K pixels). The display 
rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple 
viewing angles, as well as provides 
sharp, detailed images for monitoring 
or playback. The convenient touch 
panel allows easy access to menus 
and additional functionality such as
