Sony DSR-PD100A DVCAM Camcorder

This camera incorporates 10-bit full digital signal processing from camera to recorder, offering high stability, reliability and picture quality.

It can be switched between Interlace Scan for capturing moving images and Progressive Scan for still photos, and can also convert its native 4:3 aspect ratio images to 16:9 by processing them digitally via the DSP.

Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization compensates for unwanted camera movement without reducing image quality, while a high zoom ratio -- provided by a built-in 12x zoom lens supplemented by a 48x digital zoom -- can provide extreme close-up shots.

Although the camera offers manual control of modes including focus, gain, white balance,and shutter speed, auto modes are also included for quick operation.

The DSR-PD100A is capable of PCM digital recording of stereo sound in both 48 kHz mode (16-bit) and 32 kHz mode (12-bit). When a recording has been made in the 12-bit mode, stereo audio channels can be added later during editing.
