The Sony HDR-PJ820E Handycam Camcorder with Built-in Projector (PAL) captures Full HD 1920x1080 video at 25p and 50p, as well as 20-megapixel still images. The signal format can also be changed to allow for Full HD 24p recording. The camcorder features a 1/3.95" Exmor R CMOS sensor, a wide-angle Sony G zoom lens with 12x optical zoom plus 24x Clear Image Zoom and provides 64GB of internal flash memory for up to 8 hours of recorded video.
The camcorder delivers smooth shots even on the move with its Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization technology with Active Mode. For enhanced connectivity and control, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC support lets you use your smartphone or tablet to control the camera, as well as wirelessly transfer files to your mobile device for sharing and back up data on your computer.
The HDR-PJ820E includes a built-in 50 lumen projector with auto keystoning that allows you to project video at up to a 200" diagonal size. You can also monitor and playback footage on the 3.0" xtra Fine LCD touchscreen display with 921K dot resolution, or the 0.27" color EVF. For increased flexibility, you can record video in high-quality AVCHD, web-optimized MP4 files, or choose to record both simultaneously. The built-in microphone lets you capture 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sound.
Enhanced manual controls let you get the most out of the camcorder. The assignable dial allows for control of focus, exposure, white balance, iris and shutter speed. A built-in USB 2.0 cable provides a connection to your computer for charging or file transfer and fits conveniently into the hand strap, so it's out of the way until you need it. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, USB AC adapter, HDMI Micro cable, step down ring and a USB connection support cable come included. Also included is a RMT-835 Remote Commander with battery.
1920x1080 25p/50p Video and 20MP Still Images
Capture cinematic high definition 1920 x 1080 videos at 25p or 50p and take high quality 20MP still images. The camcorder also supports 24p recording in FX and FH modes. Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor is designed for compact cameras and camcorders. The sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, which maximizes the light gathering area per pixel and achieves better results in low light conditions.
Built-in 50 Lumen Projector with Auto Keystone Adjustment
Enjoy your favorite memories virtually anywhere with the high-contrast 50 lumen projector built-in to the LCD panel. The HDMI multi-terminal allows you to connect external devices that have an HDMI output and project them from the camcorder. The camcorder even has built-in Auto Keystone Adjustment, which corrects the dimensions of the projected image when you cannot situate the device straight on to the wall.
NFC / Wi-Fi Control, Transfer & Data Backup
Built-in NFC and Wi-Fi lets you turn your mobile phone and/or tablet into a remote control/viewing device. You can also transfer your files to your mobile device wirelessly for instant sharing, back up your data on your PC and even enjoy your videos and photos on a TV without wires.
Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization
On standard Optical SteadyShot camcorders a single "shift lens" is moved in the optical block to offset camera shake. Balanced Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode moves the entire optical block at once, maintaining the integrity of the optical path and reducing shake. It also reduces vignetting (light fall off towards the edge of a scene) and lowers distortion in videos and still photos.
Wide Angle Sony G Lens
The lens has a 35mm equivalent of 26.8mm at the wide end of the focal range. Shoot distant subjects with a 12x optical zoom plus 24x Clear Image Zoom. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos and video. 160x digital zoom is also available.
3.0" xtra Fine LCD Touchscreen Display with WhiteMagic
The 3.0" Clear Photo LCD features 921K dot resolution for sharp, bright, vivid images, enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene. Easily scroll through menus and view footage thanks to WhiteMagic technology that dramatically increases visibility in bright daylight.
5.1 Channel Mic with Audio Record Controls
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording. Advanced sound features such as Auto Wind Noise Reduction and Premium Closer Voice make it even easier to get high-quality sound in various situations.
7 Picture Effects for Video and Still Photos
Use Picture Effects to add expression and heighten the mood of your videos and photos. Seven picture effects (Toy Camera, Pop Color, Soft High Key, Partial Color, Retro Photo, High Contrast Monochrome and Posterization) are available in both photo and video modes. Shooting with these special modes will provide you an easy way to instantly transform your memories without any post editing software needed.
AVCHD and MP4 Dual Recording
Record video in the AVCHD and MP4 formats for high-quality or easy transfer and sharing. For the greatest flexibility, you can even record AVCHD and MP4 formats simultaneously. 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.
Intelligent Auto Mode
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 60 different combinations possible-Portrait, Baby, Tripod, Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro and Low light.
Multi Interface Shoe
Expand photographic and movie shooting possibilities by attaching optional accessories via the Multi Interface Shoe, including an electronic viewfinder, external flash, or stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via the Multi Terminal.
