This black, PAL region 32GB HDR-PJ650VE HD Handycam Camcorder with Projector from Sony is a Full HD 1920 x 1080 video camera that shoots at either 50 or 25 progressive frames per second and stores the video on its 32GB of internal flash memory. The camcorder features a BIONZ image processor and a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor for improved low light sensitivity. The wide-angle Sony G 12x optical zoom lens provides a sharp image, and the included lens hood helps to protect against lens flares that can degrade the image. Sony's Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system with Active Mode provides for improved camera shake reduction and smooth moving images. Features such as manual touch panel focus, zebra bars, expanded focus mode, and peaking provide for greater exposure and focus control. The video camera is configured with an electronic viewfinder and 3.0" flip out touchscreen LCD.

With the HDR-PJ650VE you can capture in 25p mode and use the CinemaTone gamma presets for a cinematic effect. You can also take 20.4MP still photos while simultaneously shooting HD video (in some modes). You can choose from AVCHD or MP4 formats for image quality or smaller file sizes depending on your needs.

Built-in to the camera is a 5.1 channel surround sound microphone, and a manually adjustable audio level control allows improved audio recording. A dedicated headphone jack allows consistent audio monitoring while an external mic jack allows the camera to accept audio input from an optional external mic.

The HDR-PJ650VE also includes a built-in 20 lumen projector that allows you project video at up to a 100" diagonal size without having to connect to a playback device. The camera has a dedicated microHDMI input port that allows you to project media from your tablet, phone, laptop or other HDMI enabled device. The camera can automatically create short movies complete with music and transitions based on preset configurations. Sony's Direct Copy allows you to copy files from the camera's internal flash memory directly to an external USB drive using a Sony USB cable (external USB drive and cable are optional and sold separately). The camera can also access videos stored on the external drive for playback on an HDTV. The built-in USB connector plugs into a computer for file transfer or camera charging, with two minutes of charge time providing one minute of recording time.

The HDR-PJ650VE comes with various automatic features to simplify the shooting process. For example, a Contrast AF auto focus system is included as is Tracking Focus. The Tracking Focus feature works as an extension of Face Detection and allows you to select an object with a touch of the LCD and have the focus automatically follow the selected object. If the object leaves the frame and subsequently returns, Tracking Focus will resume operation and follow focus on the selected object. Additionally when Face Detection identifies people in a scene, the camera engages an acoustic processor to reduce background noise, which combined with the camera's Wind Reduction results in making recorded voices clearer. The HDR-PJ650VE includes Sony's Intelligent Auto mode, which analyzes a shot, and automatically selects the appropriate settings from among ten distinct scene modes. Other modes include Sony's Golf Shot setting to capture a few seconds of motion as a sequence of 22 high-resolution still photos

1080/25/50p and 20.4MP Still Images

Create high definition 1920 x 1080 25p/50p videos and high resolution 20.4MP still images. Image capture is handled by Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor designed for compact cameras and camcorders. The sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, which maximizes the light gathering area per pixel and achieves better results in low light conditions. Image processing is handled by a BIONZ image processor. In certain recording modes you can shoot HD video, and capture 20.4MP stills at the same time.

Sony G Optical Zoom Lens

This lens has a 35mm equivalent of 26.8mm at the wide end of the focal range, and the 12x optical zoom is supported by a 20x extended Zoom, with a 160x digital zoom. The HDR-PJ650VE also ships with a removable lens hood to block unwanted light from entering the lens and causing undesirable flare in the shot.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Active Mode

Balanced Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode mounts the lens and image sensor together as one optical block floating inside the camera body. As the camera is moved the entire optical block moves as one unit, maintaining the integrity of the optical path and improving shake reduction. Another benefit of this image stabilizations system is that it also reduces vignetting (light falloff towards the edges of the frame) and lowers distortion in videos and still photos.

Color EVF

The 0.2" Color EVF features 201.6 K dot equivalent resolution for a clear, crisp representation of your video allowing increased run time when used instead of the LCD screen.

3.0" Xtra Fine LCD Touchscreen Display

The 3.0" (16:9) Xtra Fine LCD features 921K dot resolution for sharp, bright, vivid images. The LCD display also functions as a touchscreen that allows you control other camera functions, enabling you to change settings to best capture the scene.

AVCHD or MP4 Recording Formats

Users can choose between the AVCHD or MP4 format. AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs and is ideal for capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on your social networks or store in the cloud.

Embedded Flash Memory and Removable Media Cards

The built-in 32GB embedded flash memory can record and store up to 11 hours 40 minutes of high definition video footage (HD LP mode). The HDR-PJ650VE also comes with a single media card slot that is compatible with both SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and select Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. Additionally, the camera can record directly to the removable media.

Intelligent Auto Mode

Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically mixing and matching settings from these modes: Portrait, Baby, Tripod, Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, and Low Light for up to 180 different setting combinations to optimize your images.

CinemaTone Camera Presets

CinemaTone technology is used to deepen the color and recreate film-like color tones. Combined with 25p recording, you can expand your shooting into a more cinematic direction.

Built-in USB 2.0 Cable

The built-in high-speed USB 2.0 cable provides an easy connection to your computer for charging or file transfer, without the need for a separate cable. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it's out of the way until you need it.

Direct Copy and Highlight Playback

With Sony's Direct Copy feature, you can transfer your media files from your camcorder directly to an external USB HDD using a Sony VMC-UAM1 cable (USB HDD and Sony Cable sold separately), all without using a computer. Your camcorder can also directly access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your HDTV, allowing you to utilize the camcorder's handy playback features. The Highlight Playback feature identifies and compiles key scenes into a short, entertaining movie complete with music and transitions. You can even pinpoint the exact scene you want to include in the highlight reel.

Built-in Projector

The built-in projector features a maximum of 20 lumen output and screen coverage of up to a 100" diagonal. Project your footage directly from the camera to view your day's shooting, or share memories without crowding everyone around the LCD screen.

View Everywhere

Enjoy your favorite memories virtually anywhere. A dedicated microHDMI port allows you to connect external HDMI-enabled devices like smartphones, laptops and tablets. You can also view footage from these devices through the projector of the HDR-PJ650VE, and with the camera's built-in Clear Phase stereo speakers and S-Master digital amplifier technology the audio sounds more like real life.

Virtually Unlimited Storage

You can attach the camera to an optional external drive to view that drive's video content (dependent on format). You can also transfer content from the camera's internal memory to free up space, giving you virtually unlimited storage options.

Built-in GPS

A built-in GPS receiver gives you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as "tag" your shooting locations. Tagged videos and still images can be reviewed and played back using the Map Index function on the camcorder or once downloaded to your PC using the supplied PlayMemories Home software. Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder's clock to the proper time zone.

Accessory Multi-Interface Shoe

Sony's Multi-Interface shoe is specifically designed to offer a common interface across all of Sony's Digital Imaging products. Quickly and easily attach a vast array of accessories compatible with this interface, including optional video lights, microphones, and even Sony's Wi-Fi module (Must be purchased separately).

Golf Shot

Golf Shot captures a few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed individually or as a composite "sequence shot" image, which can be used for analyzing the nuances of a golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action.

Advanced Camera Control

The video camera comes with manual control capabilities over focus, exposure, iris, shutter speed, AE shift, WB, audio levels, and gamma curves. Combined with the expanded focus, zebra bars and peaking display these are tools that allow you to improve your video as you gain more control over your shooting process.
