1080i Compact HD Camera – 

Splash-proof for Outdoor Use

Even though it is equipped with a full 

HD shooting (1920 x 1080i) capability,  

a 10x optical zoom and a built-in 

microphone, the camera is compact, 

measuring only 37 x 42.5 x 86.5 mm 

(1 1/2 x 1 11/16 x 3 1/2 inch).  

It can record 1080i HD or SD images 

and sound in places that no ordinary 

compact or shoulder-style HD 

camcorder can access.

It is possible to attach it to various  

devices, such as a helmet or vehicle, 

by utilising the screw hole at the bottom 

of the unit

.  

This enables HD images to be obtained 

from angles that have only been 

captured with SD minicams before. 

And the camera is splash-proof as well, 

making it suitable for outdoor use. It 

can be used at the water’s edge or in 

the rain

1   Sony does not provide any special mounting 

equipment.

2  Only the camera unit conforms to IEC60529 

IPX2. Under no circumstances must it be used 

under water.  

Do not allow the control unit to get wet  

as it is not splash-proof.
