Features of this unit

The large-sized image sensor

The camcorder is equipped with an APS-C-

sized (23.5 mm × 15.6 mm) CMOS image 

sensor.

Its sensor area is about 20 times as large as 

the 1/3-inch image sensor that is often used 

in existing video cameras.

The larger the image sensor, the shallower 

the depth of field. This allows you to reduce 

the focus on the background in order to 

make the subject stand out.

Interchangeable lens system

The camcorder employs the E-mount 

system for interchangeable lenses developed 

by Sony.

The E-mount lens supplied with the 

NEX-VG20H has an optical camera-shake 

compensation mechanism (Active mode), 

and can also zoom up to 11 times.

Using a Mount Adaptor (sold separately) 

enables you to use α lenses (A-mount 

lenses) as well. You can choose the right 

lens for the recording conditions or 

subjects. A wide variety of characteristic 

lenses will widen visual expression.

Manual operability

The camcorder allows you to use aperture 

priority/shutter speed priority/full-manual 

exposure compensation, and adjust gain, 

white balance, etc. for recording movies. 

The MANUAL dial and dedicated 

buttons are provided to enable you to use 

the camcorder in your own way, more 

comfortably.

High-performance microphone

The camcorder adopts an array microphone 

system that has a four-capsule structure.

The camcorder creates the correct sound 

localization by processing the signal from 

the microphone, achieves both realistic 

sensation and front localization, and 

records low-noise and clear sound. The 

high-performance microphone will make 

high-definition movies more appealing.
