It isn't called a Handycam for nothing. Despite its long list of amazing features, this DCR-DVD508 camcorder is surprisingly easy to use. A bevy of scene and white balance modes accommodate just about any lighting situation, while the Handycam button locks out unnecessary functions, leaving you with only the buttons you need for the task at hand. A powerful Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens and Super SteadyShot image stabilization help you take smooth, low-blur, crystal-clear recordings and still JPEG images. Share your precious memories for years to come with a camcorder that's as powerful as it is practical.

A helping hand
The Handycam's Super SteadyShot feature ensures steady, low-blur recordings, even when your hands are less than level. Super SteadyShot overcomes camcorder jitter and vibration to make your finished recordings appear smooth and natural. In addition, the DCR-DVD508's Super NightShot infrared system helps you capture natural-looking video in low light, so evening wedding receptions, plays in dark auditoriums and low-lit recitals come through with excellent quality. Don't reserve your recordings for brightly lit rooms and sunny days; rely on Super NightShot to capture memorable moments after the sun goes down.

See the shot
Don't let crowded rooms and poor seating prevent you from recording once-in-a-lifetime moments. This camera's 10x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom help you capture milestone events, even when you're not near the subject. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens powers your vision to crystal clarity and includes an advanced optical multilayer coating that offers low glare and high contrast for vivid image brilliance. Meanwhile, the 2.7" wide, hybrid, touch-panel Clear Photo plus LCD swivels up to 270° to help you review the scene from almost any vantage point. Events such as weddings, anniversaries and parties are too important to pass by; capture every sight and sound before they slip away.

Adjustments made easy
Unless you're new to video recording, you know the lighting is rarely just right. In many cases, you have to take extra time and effort to figure out the right white balance, focus and more just to capture a few seconds of video. This camcorder's many scene modes take the hassle out of setting up for the shot. Select from Beach, Snow, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Twilight, Sunrise & Sunset, Fireworks and Candle scene modes, letting the camcorder choose the necessary settings for you. You won't have to waste valuable seconds making the adjustments yourself; just a few easy selections will get you ready for the next scene quickly.

Recordings that aren't run of the mill
Handycam has many ways to make your photos and videos stand apart from the pack. Appeal to your audience with a variety of effects for still JPEG images and recorded videos. You can get creative with your digital images by adding monotone, pastel or sepia effects, then arrange the photos in a slideshow to make an impressive presentation. Select Old Movie mode when you want to make your videos seem as if they're from a time of antiquity, while black-and-white fader effects make scene transitions look interesting and unique. You'll feel like you're on the floor of a professional editing studio.

Sensational sight and sound
This camcorder captures sound in Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound format, so you'll hear every detail big and small as you watch recorded content on devices that support the 5.1-channel format. You can also use the Handycam as an external DVD burner to make copies of your edited movies. The Handycam's lightweight, compact design makes it a pleasure to carry, store and use; take it to a party, wedding, christening or other special event to make sure you don't miss out on important footage of friends and family. The AccuPower meter displays the approximate battery time remaining in minutes in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen, telling you when it's time to replace a worn-out battery. This will prevent avid recorders from running out of power in the middle of a recording session.

Store and share your memories
The Handycam records both movies and still images, so you have choices when it comes to keeping the memories alive. Record videos of celebrations, rites of passage and everyday events to 3" DVD, making copies to give as gifts to friends and family. You can also insert Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO media into the built-in media slot when you're ready to capture images in JPEG format. No matter which way you choose to record, your images and videos will stay safe and secure until you're ready to view, watch and share.

Camcorder connectivity
Your use of the Handycam doesn't end when you press the stop button. You'll want to watch, share and show off the sights and sounds you've captured. Use the camcorder's USB interface and included cable to connect to your PictBridge-compatible computer and transform still images into vibrant, printed photos. You can also play back discs full of recorded videos on most DVD players, computers and even PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. The active interface shoe allows you to add optional accessories, such as a video light, flash or microphone. The Handycam has the connectivity to keep you shooting and sharing to your heart's content.
