None of us likes to switch tapes in the middle of a shoot, or waste time rewinding and capturing. That’s why the DCR-SR42 Handycam® camcorder contains a 30GB2 built-in hard disk drive (HDD) storage and allows you to capture up to 20 hours of recording time (LP) so you don’t need to mess around with tapes. A brilliant 2.5”2 Touch Panel LCD display keeps the controls at your fingertips while a 40x optical/2000x digital zoom makes sure you catch all the detail. And when it comes time to share your memories, it couldn't be easier with the one touch disc burn capability and the Memory Stick Duo™ media slot. The DCR-SR42 puts the simplicity back into shooting and sharing your videos. 1/6” Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross 1/6” Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. 40X Optical/2000X Digital Zoom The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, the digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms. Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones. 2.5” Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display2 (123K Pixels) The 2.5” LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with the camcorder using the touch panel.

On Screen Zoom and Record Buttons For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-SR42 features zoom and record buttons on the frame of the LCD screen. This allows you more flexibility when holding the camcorder, especially in overhead or low angle shots.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Smart Protection A unique shock absorber protects the hard disk drive from physical damage if the unit is dropped. When the 3G Sensor detects a drop (loss of gravity) the power to the hard disk drive is turned off in order to prevent damage. During this time the DCR-SR42 remains powered on and recording video to the built-in buffer. Once the unit has recovered from the drop the buffer is then recorded to the Hard Disk Drive. Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System With Super NightShot Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems.
