Customer Review

As a child of the 80's I'm with Sony products, especially the Walkman, grew up. At Sony, I have always appreciated the ease of use and it has also changed nothing. The manual is well written and illustrated adequately. The package includes: The camcorder, a battery, a power supply, as well as one micro HDMI and a USB cable, a user manual.

Quick read the manual and used as the first battery in the back of the camcorder. Then the camcorder via AC adapter is connected to the mains. Charging the battery is completed in about 3 hours. Since my last camcorder was still equipped with digital tapes, I had to first find out what is loaded for a storage medium in this model. An internal memory is in fact not exist. According to instructions, I decided for a Micro SD High Class 10 SanDisk. To insert the memory card you have to fold back the screen and insert them in the slot provided. The whole thing is a little fiddly but nevertheless done quickly.

First, notice, the camcorder is pleasantly light and fits comfortably in your hand. The build quality is high. The monitor is opened to open the menu. Control is via touch screen. There are 7 settings that are represented by images.
1. Record Mode: movies or photos.
2. Camera / microphone: Diverse settings.
3. Picture Quality / Size: Diverse settings.
4. Wireless: The device can connect to a WiFi network and operate via app on your smartphone.
5. Display: Here the photos and movies created can view.
6. Edit / Copy: This lets you make settings for editing and copying of the recorded files.
7. Installation: Here broader settings to connections etc. made.
Usually the layman must only perform to the time, date and language, the usual settings when you start the camcorder. Everything else brings the use or studying the manual with it. I usually left the settings to "default".

By means of the start / stop button to start recording or interrupt this. The handling is very simple and successful. The result is impressive. Both the picture and sound quality is top and no longer comparable with the old camcorder. In fact wobbles, thanks Balanced Optical SteadyShot, no picture but there are pleasant smooth transitions. The sound is adequate, can be adjusted by means of settings on its needs, if necessary. The camcorder is equipped with a 60x zoom, which allows you to zoom in things that are far away and zoom in close to top quality. In order to film enough, should consider purchasing a second battery into consideration. Here one does not necessarily have a genuine Sony battery pack to fall back, but can also acquire an equivalent. I did not make pictures. Since then I trust rather my camera. The projector feature is a nice gimmick and knows quite convincing. If you have no possibility to connect the camcorder to a TV or computer and still want to show off their photos or movies this is the alternative. By means of the cable can be connected and transfer and edit create photos or movies, the camcorder to the computer. In addition, there are of course several interfaces for external microphone, headphones, lights and a tripod.

Conclusion: An entry-level model, which definitely convince white and just fun!
