20X Optical Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens
From the authority in lens technology, the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T lens provides a high-quality 20x optical zoom which maintains image clarity and color while reducing glare and flare.

Digital Extender
- HDR-FX7E
The Digital Extender mode is available at all zoom points and will digitally enhance the zoom up to 1.5 times the current position.

3.5" Wide (16:9) Hybrid Clear Photo™ LCD plus Display (211K Pixels)1
Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 211K pixel LCD display makes images sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring recording. The Hybrid LCD Screen provides accurate viewing in sunlight or bright light, virtually eliminating the "washout" common with traditional LCD Screens.

Super SteadyShot® Optical Stabilization System
The HDR-FX7 features an advanced form of Sony’s SteadyShot Image Stabilization system that controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies. This optical stabilization system achieves an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some digital stabilization systems.

Manual Zoom and Manual Focus Ring
- HDR-FX7
Dual independent zoom and focus rings provide precise and detailed control over the amount of zoom and the overall focus of the image with just a turn of the rings. Fast, intuitive framing when zooming, and finely detailed focusing is easy with the natural "feel" of the rings.

Exposure/Iris Control
Easily adjust the amount of light entering the lens by adjusting exposure brightness in accordance with the iris and gain. The Iris control allows the volume of light to be adjusted (shutter speed and gain are adjustable).

Expanded Focus Indicator
- HDR-FX7
The camera‘s LCD image is magnified, temporarily, up to 4X its original size without any loss of distortion. This allows the user more finite control while focusing the camera for greater detail and clarity.

Picture Profile
This feature allows the user to set manual adjustments for a scene (color, sharpness, white balance, etc) into any one of six presets, so they can be called up at just the touch of a button. Useful when shooting under the same conditions repeatedly—you don’t have to reset the options each time. Settings for various shooting conditions are offered as defaults.

Assignable Buttons - HDR-FX7
Six buttons on the exterior of the camcorder are user-assignable so that they can be set to the options most commonly utilized, for ease of recording.

i.LINK®2 HDV/DV Interface (IEEE1394)
A high speed bi-directional digital video/audio communication between two compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs.


Shot Transition
- HDR-FX7
Allows for a smooth, automatic scene transition. Settings for focus, zoom, iris, gain, shutter, and white balance can be set to the Assignable Buttons 1, 2 and 3 which will create a smooth transition and will take place according to the set time and transition. This function enables the focus to gradually shift from the front of the screen to a deeper part of the screen. Thus the iris enables a smooth change of depth of field.
