Sony DCR-SR47 Handycam Camcorder 60GB HDD Silver
DCR-SR47 60GB Handycam® Camcorder
Record those special occasions with the DCR-SR47/R Handycam® camcorder. A built-in 60GB hard disk drive offers extended, hassle-free recording and a professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens delivers sharp, high resolution images. For close-ups, you will appreciate a powerful 60x optical zoom. Hybrid technology even allows you to record video to the hard drive or optional Memory Stick Duo™ media. Available in silver, red, and blue.
Ergonomic, easy-to-use GUI
Like the top page of a Web site, the Home Menu is the starting point for all operations. To record or play footage, change settings or edit scenes, first press the Home Menu icon on the top left of the touch panel or the Home Menu hardware button on the left side of the LCD. Then select the desired category from the Home Menu. The Option Menu provides quick access to the settings you need. Whether you’re shooting or playing footage, just press the Option Menu icon on the touch panel to display available settings for the current mode of operation. Then adjust settings as desired. A Help Function is also provided for when you need help understanding a function displayed on the Home Menu. Just press the “?” button and then press the listed function itself to display an easy-to-understand explanation. There is even a TV Connect Guide function that helps make connection between the DCR-SR87 and your TV completely trouble-free.
Quick and easy navigation to desired scenes
Helpful search functions accelerate and simplify navigation. Film Roll Index, Face Index functions, Visual Index and Date Index make every search fast, easy and enjoyable.
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lenses
High-contrast Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lenses originally designed in Germany are world-renowned for delivering quality images. This lens gives your movies an extra boost of emotional impact. By adding 60x Optical Zoom and 2000x Digital Zoom, Sony gives you the power to capture nearby and faraway subjects with stunning, richly textured results.
Quick Start Up
Power can be turned on or off simply by opening or closing the LCD panel. Since opening the LCD panel turns the power on almost immediately, users can shoot without delay. Moreover, users are less likely to forget turning the power off. This helps to prevent accidental shooting and wasted battery power.
Easy Handycam
Press the Easy Handycam button to enable carefree point-and-shoot operation with all settings automatically adjusted to match the shooting situation. This function is especially convenient for beginners who want operation to be as simple as possible.
Scene Selection modes
Scene Selection modes let you easily create beautiful images in almost any type of setting. Whether capturing a sunset with friends in the foreground and illuminated skyscrapers in the background, natural beauty at beach resorts, fireworks bursting at night, or festive white landscapes of snow, the results are as spectacular as the scene you shoot. The Portrait mode, for example, can produce sharp images of people or flowers on soft backgrounds.
Hours and hours of memories on HDD
The 60GB HDD stores up to around 45 hours and 40 minutes of MPEG2 video in the 3M (LP) mode or around 15 hours and 10 minutes in the 9M (HQ) mode. You can also record video footage and still images to Memory Stick media when desired via Hybrid function. Thanks to the nature of non-linear media, you don’t have to worry about over-writing recorded footage: new data is automatically written in blank, unrecorded space on the HDD. Moreover, you can immediately watch or erase newly recorded footage without rewinding. Just press the desired thumbnail on the touch panel LCD.

HYBRID = HDD + Memory Stick media
Sony’s Hybrid design gives you extra flexibility. You can record video footage and still images on the HDD, Memory Stick, or both media to effectively extend recording time. And you can transfer recorded files from the HDD to Memory Stick with ease.
Easy "dubbing" within your Handycam®
Recorded images and movies on the HDD can easily be copied to Memory Stick media. Using various "dubbing" functions, you can copy specific scenes, all recorded footage registered in the playlist, or footage shot on certain dates. Now it's easier than ever to share image and video highlights with your family and friends.
Archiving video
Backing up your original footage for future viewing with your friends and family is extremely easy. You can use the One Touch Disc Burn button on the camcorder (or connected Handycam® Station) to quickly burn a DVD on a connected PC or linked DVDirect DVD recorder. With a single press, it only burns new footage shot since the last disc was burned. Or use Easy PC Backup to transfer content from the camcorder to the HDD of a connected PC. Only files recorded since your last backup are transferred. You can later export footage back to the DCR-SR47 by using the Write-back function of supplied Picture Motion Browser software.
HDD Smart Protection
Should the DCR-SR47 be dropped or knocked, HDD Smart Protection helps protect the HDD and your important footage via three protective measures. A unique shock absorber around the HDD helps absorb the energy of impact. An advanced 3G sensor disengages the HDD read/write head to help prevent scratches when it detects a loss of gravity. And a drop stream buffer stores footage that the DCR-SR47 continues to record. Once drop-detection has been cleared, the HDD is re-engaged and content is transferred from the buffer to the HDD to help ensure seamless, uninterrupted footage. Note: HDD Smart Protection does not guarantee prevention of HDD breakage.
