Sony HDR-AS300 with Balanced Optical SteadyShot.
Full HD movies. With significant stability.
Action Cam is always nearby. Ready to shoot beautiful steady movies and photos of your life.
Stunningly stable images with Balanced Optical SteadyShot.
This feature is an advanced form of image stabilization where internally, the camera's lens and sensor are joined and moved together to compensate for camera shake caused by excessive motion, whether shooting handheld with optional accessories or during a fast-paced sporting activity. This is a particularly effective technology when paired with a POV action camera design as it ensures captured video footage is smooth and stable - even in high-frame-rate shooting modes.
Exmor R CMOS sensor with enhanced sensitivity - Shoot in the dark with very subtle light using this cutting-edge sensor.
BIONZ X image processor - Record fast moves and smooth action up to Full HD at 50 Mbps.
ZEISS Tessar lens - Capture landscapes with less distortion.
The HDR-AS300 utilizes full pixel readout without pixel binning technology to produce exceptionally high resolution and accurate colors in Full HD videos. This allows it to read and process data from all of the sensor's pixels, producing highly detailed video content with minimal noise and 'jaggies' in a variety of formats including the high data stream XAVC S codec (50Mbps in Full HD).
The HDR-AS300 can also shoot 120p in HD for impressive slow-motion footage. This camera offers a new angle of view adjustment, with a 3x smooth zoom or preset "wide", "medium" and "narrow" settings. This allows shooters to get even closer to the action during movie recording, and reducing barrel distortion common with wide view POV cameras.
Built-In Stereo Mic
The HDR-AS300 has a built-in stereo mic with wind noise reduction to reduce the impact of wind interference on overall audio quality, and is equipped with stereo microphone input for advanced recording.
Time-lapse Capture
The HDR-AS300 includes a unique Time-lapse Capture feature that shoots still images in pre-set intervals that can later be transformed into a stunning 4K time-lapse movie utilizing the Action Cam Movie Creator software. The Action Cam App can also create time-lapse movies in Full HD.
Built-in GPS
Built-in GPS inherited from previous models is available, allowing location tracking and speedometer to be added to the video file when Action Cam Movie Creator is used. This also allows GPS Data Overlay on video to read your speed data and generate another video file that includes your route, speed information, etc.
Highlight Movie Maker
An updated version Sony's own in-built movie creator - Highlight Movie Maker - is available in the HDR-AS300. The innovative feature, which now utilizes face detection technology, automatically assembles footage into a video highlight package and pairs it with custom music for the ultimate viewing experience.
Advanced Features
For the more advanced user, there are an expanded scope of manual controls and setting adjustments including white balance, and auto exposure shifting. Loop recording is also available, allowing users to maximize usage of available memory card space to ensure they get the exact shot they are looking for.
Rugged shielding for real-world conditions - For shooting as unlimited as your imagination
You're ready to shoot with the right protection. The Action Cam body alone is splashproof and freezeproof, and supplied Underwater Housing is dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 197 ft/60m.
Customize and build Action Cam for your needs
A new range of accessories for Action Cam are also available (each sold separately), including the Finger Grip (AKA-FGP1) that is an ideal travel accessory as it enables flexible one-handed shooting and the MC Protector (AKA-MCP1) for extra protection from lens scratches and dirt.
