Sony CX405 Handycam
The Sony HDR-CX405 HD Handycam features an Exmor R CMOS sensor and a
wide-angle Carl Zeiss zoom lens with 30× optical zoom. The CX-405 captures
Full HD 1920×1080 video at 60p and 9.2MP still images to optional media cards.
The Exmor R CMOS sensor is designed for increased sensitivity in low light
situations and the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Intelligent
Active Mode delivers smooth video. Users can monitor and playback footage via
the 2.7" LCD display with 230K dot resolution.
The camera records using XAVC S codec at up to 50 Mb/s and features dual
recording, which lets you simultaneously capture both high-quality AVCHD and
web-optimized MP4 files. The Intelligent Auto mode analyzes your shot and
automatically selects the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes,
with 60 different possible combinations. A built-in USB 2.0 cable provides a
connection to your computer for charging or file transfer and fits conveniently
into the hand strap, so it's out of the way until you need it. The camera
accepts a rechargeable X type battery pack for power.
1080/60p and 9.2MP Still Images
Create high definition 1920×1080 60p videos and take high quality 9.2MP still
images. Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor is 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.
Wide Angle Carl Zeiss Lens
The lens has a 35mm equivalent of 26.8mm at the wide end of the focal range.
Shoot distant subjects with a 30× optical zoom.
2.7" LCD Display
The 2.7" (16:9) LCD features 230K dot resolution for sharp, bright, vivid
images, enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode
Compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver smooth video from
wide angle to full telephoto shooting.

Intelligent Auto
Selects from ten different settings including Portrait, Baby, Walk, Tripod,
Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro and Low Light to choose the
best settings for your shot.
Scene Modes
Available scene modes include auto, night, sunrise & sunset, fireworks,

AVCHD and MP4 Dual Recording
Record video in the AVCHD and MP4 formats for high-quality or easy transfer and
sharing. For the greatest flexibility, you can even record AVCHD and MP4 formats
simultaneously. 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 on the cloud.
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. Charging your camcorder is faster now through the USB; for every two
minutes of charge time, you get one minute of recording time.
