The bright, swiveling LCD screen clearly shows menu options, while the Easy Handycam button takes the intimidation out of the recording experience for new or novice users.

Great shots, day or night
At any time of day, this camcorder's Super NightShot infrared system and Super SteadyShot features ensure steady, low-blur recordings. Super NightShot helps you capture natural-looking video in low light, catching every moment of wedding receptions, plays, recitals and more. In addition, the Super SteadyShot system helps control shake and vibration frequencies to achieve a high level of smoothness without degradation of video quality. When you can't find a tripod, SteadyShot can be your saving grace.

Cleverly equipped
You can't afford to let a poor seat prevent you from capturing milestone events. Whether it's your child's graduation, a school play or the soccer playoffs, you'll still be able to record every moment in incredible detail, even from a less-than-desirable vantage point. This camera's 10x optical zoom and 80x digital zoom help you cover important events in up-close detail when you can't be close to the action. Use the electric color viewfinder with adjustable brightness to zero in on the shot, then trust in the technology of the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens to grab every color and line of the scene. The 2.7" wide touch panel Clear Photo Plus LCD swivels by up to 270°, so you'll still be able to get a great view when you're sitting far to the left or right.

Every second counts
When the baby takes her first step or your son is taking his wedding vows, there's no time to make complicated adjustments on your camcorder. The DCR-DVD408 offers a large selection of scene modes that adjust the focus, white balance and more for you, preventing you from missing once-in-a-lifetime events. Choose from Beach, Candle, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Sunrise & Sunset, Snow, Twilight and Twilight Portrait (still only) scene modes according to the shooting environment. You won't have to waste valuable seconds making the adjustments yourself; just a few easy selections will get you set up for the next scene quickly.

See excellent images; hear fantastic sound
The Handycam pairs super sound with smooth, detailed images for a comprehensive recording and viewing experience. This camcorder captures sound in Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound through the built-in microphone. Capture footage with voices and music coming from all directions, then enjoy realistic sounds of music, conversations and more when playing the disc on devices that support the 5.1-channel format, such as stereos, DVD players and more.

Images like no other
Get creative with your videos and digital images by adding a variety of effects. Add monotone, pastel or sepia to still images and arrange them in a slideshow for all to see. You can also use Old Movie mode to make your recorded videos seem as if they're from long-gone era, while black-and-white fader effects make scene transitions look interesting and unique. This camcorder's Dolby Digital support and effects modes add special sight and sound to all your captured images and recorded footage.

Travel freely
Measuring under 3" wide and weighing just over 1 pound, this camcorder won't become a burden as you travel to your next destination. Take it to a party, wedding, vacation or other special event to make sure you don't miss out on important footage of friends and family. Once you're recording, the AccuPower meter displays the approximate battery time remaining in minutes in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen, allowing you to replace a low battery before it's too late. You won't have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a recording session.

Keep memories for a lifetime
It may take a while to decide what to do with all your recorded content. Do you want to make an album of printed photos for Grandma? Should you add picture effects before burning holiday home movies for the family? While you make up your mind, this camcorder will hold recorded movies on 3" DVD and captured still images on Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO media. Retain digital photos at up to 4.0MP resolution and let recorded videos stay put on your disc or computer until you're ready to edit, view and share.

Share the love
Show off your recordings and photos with the Handycam's many connectivity options. Transfer files easily to your PC for editing, printing and e-mailing. If you'd rather bypass your computer, simply connect to a PictBridge-compatible printer to produce printed photos in seconds. Viewing recorded videos is just as easy; just finalize the disc in the camcorder, then play back the disc in 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.
