The World’s Smallest and Lightest Digital Camcorders
Decades of camcorder experience has taught us: small sells. In
its day, 8mm was the small size champion. Then DV took the
crown. Now Sony introduces the world’s smallest and lightest
digital camcorders—the MICROMV™ Digital Handycam
®
models. The first MICROMV™ camcorders are small enough to
slip into a pocket. They’re about 75% smaller and 60% lighter
than 8mm camcorders! Now more people can comfortably take
a camcorder in more situations than ever before, including
mountain climbing, skiing and all-day hikes. And customers can
easily carry the MICROMV™ models in purses, briefcases and
tote bags, as well as pockets.
Spectacular Picture Quality.
Despite its small size, the new MICROMV
™
format achieves
picture quality comparable to Mini DV and Digital8
®
recording!
The secret is the super-efficient MPEG2 encoding system
—
similar to the encoding used in DVD-Video discs and digital
satellite broadcasts. MICROMV
™
camcorders
achieve horizontal resolution of up to 500 lines
—
better than broadcast television. And like DVD-
Video, the MICROMV
™
format offers not just
digital video, but also true component video, for
colors that are crisp, accurate and vivid!
Digital Stereo Sound
Just as the MICROMV
™
cassette holds MPEG2 digital video, it
also captures MPEG Audio Layer2 sound. You
’
ll hear superb
fidelity with extended frequency response and rich, impressive
dynamic range.
Ultra-Compact Videocassette
When you compare the size of videocassettes, you can see that
Hi8
™
cassettes are a full generation ahead of standard VHS.
And Mini DV is a full generation ahead of Hi8
™
tapes. But
prepare for a shock. The MICROMV
™
cassette is 70% smaller
than Mini DV!
MICROMV
™
Cassette Memory
All MICROMV
™
cassettes include a 64K bit MICROMV
™
Cassette Memory chip. This expanded capacity delivers a host
of features.
•
Index Pictures.
Each time you press Record, the memory
chip saves an index picture. You can use these index pictures
like a DVD chapter menu. Just click on a scene to access it
directly!
•
Index Titling.
You can assign a name to each tape that you
can see by simply inserting the tape into the camcorder. You
don
’
t even need to press Play. You can also assign any scene
a custom or preset title in a variety of colors.
•

’
s on the cassette
and how much recording time is left.
Going Wireless

information from Memory Stick
®
media to the Internet. The
camcorder can communicate wirelessly with the supplied
BTA-NW1 BlueTooth

™

You can even use the
camcorder to send and receive emails or browse the web

Advanced Ergonomic Design

with a resounding
“
yes!
”
•

It
’
s never been easier to access
multiple zoom speeds.
•

The screen folds back along the
length of this amazingly small camcorder,
making it easier to hold, watch and control.
