Go digital. Capture high-quality digital audio and video with Sony's DCR-TRV280 Digital8 Handycam camcorder. The DCR-TRV280 features Digital8 recording for 3x the color bandwidth of VHS, providing you with stunning video performance. The CCD imager captures clear and detailed images for consistently outstanding image quality. With Sony's NightShot Plus infrared system you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light.





Don't let its compact design fool you, the DCR-TRV280 carries great power with the stamina battery power management system, which allows you to continuously record for up to 12 hours on a single full charge. Editing and sharing hours of video is easy with the i.LINK DV interface, which allows you to easily connect your camcorder to your TV or PC.





Digital8 recording


The Digital8 recording format delivers 3x the color bandwidth of VHS with significantly less video noise providing stunning video performance. Digital8 records digital audio and video comparable to MiniDV on affordable Hi8 tapes





1/6-inch CCD imager, 460K pixels gross


1/6-inch CCD imager with 290K (effective) pixels provides great detail and clarity along with outstanding digital video performance





20x optical/990x digital zoom


Offers up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution, 3x the color bandwidth and a significantly higher signal to noise ratio, to provide spectacular video performance





SteadyShot picture stabilization system


Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera shake without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems.





2.5-inch swivel screen LCD display (123K pixels)


Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.





USB streaming


Stay connected to family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio over the internet using the USB interface. You can even playback your favorite recorded scene on the camcorder's tape. It's like having your own video conferencing system.





2.5-inch touch panel swivel screen LCD display (123K pixels)


Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.





i.LINK DV interface


A digital high-speed bi-directional interface which provides audio/video communication between two compatible devices. This connection allows for pure digital transfer between devices equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, such as camcorders, digital VTRs, capture cards, and PCs.





InfoLithium battery with AccuPower meter system


Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (nickel cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening memory effect. Sony's exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.





Multi-language menu


Change the menu display from English to English (simplified), Canadian French, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, or traditional Chinese.





Easy dubbing


Connect the Handycam camcorder to a VCR to effortlessly make VHS copies of your home videos. The camcorder can control up to 59 brands of VCRs.





NightShot Plus infrared system


With Sony's 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.





Stamina battery power management system


Using the optional NP-FP90 InfoLithium battery, the DCR-HC21 can continuously record for up to 9 hours on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life.





Program AE (auto exposure) modes


Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from portrait, beach and ski, sports lesson, landscape, spotlight, or sunset and moon modes.





Picture effects


Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony's picture effect modes. Effects available in camera mode: negative art, sepia, monotone, solarize, pastel, and mosaic. Effects available in playback mode: negative art, sepia, monotone, and solarize.





End search


Automatically advances the video tape to the last 5 seconds of the recorded scene. This prevents accidentally recording over previously recorded videos.





Fader effects


Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from black, mosaic, white, monotone, and stripe.





Titling


Add professional looking titles to your video. Select from 8 presets, or customize 2 titles with up to 22 characters.





Battery information


At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10 percent increments and the recordable time left when using the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.





Photo mode


Using Sony's adaptive frame interpolation for better image quality, you can store hundreds of individual still images with 7 seconds of audio on the videotape.





Built-in white LED light


Brighten your video and reduce shadows when shooting in low-light situations. The LED light uses considerably less power than bulb-based light systems, with the same light output.





Manual focus


Allows the user to manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment.





Easy Handycam button


Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are locked out leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational.
