The Sony DSR-250P
comes with� a wide range of features and functions which enables you to capture
the professional images you require. The lightweight, shoulder-mount design,
1.5-inch B/W viewfinder and familiar control placement make operating the
DSR-250P a pleasure. A variety of additional features, including a swing-out
2.5-inch LCD monitor, Super SteadyShot motion compensation function, an i.LINK interface and Memory Stick support are
incorporated, thus adding to the camcorder's versatility. Three newly developed
1/3-inch CCDs and a 12-times zoom lens capture sharp, clear
images. The DSR-250P supports both standard and mini-size cassettes, as well as
both DVCAM and DV recording and playback, providing even more
flexibility to meet your individual shooting requirements.
DVCAM and DV recording The DSR-250P allows you to record and
playback in both DVCAM and DV (SP only) formats. Although DVCAM format is more reliable and durable than
DV format for shooting and editing, DV format offers greater flexibility for
distributing edited content. And, if you are ever caught without supplies of
tape on hand, switching over to DV is a useful emergency measure because the
DV(SP) format has longer recording time than
DVCAM.
Superb image quality The DSR-250P features a newly designed 12x
zoom lens (digital zoom of 24x and 48x is available via the menu system).
Horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines � plus the facility for manual zoom, focus
and iris adjustments � ensures exceptional picture clarity and sharpness.
Unsteady pictures

Super SteadyShot� is built in to the DSR-250P! This feature
detects and compensates for both horizontal and vertical movements, so your
picture remains completely steady.

pixels) each contribute to the high sensitivity, good signal-to-noise ratio, and
refuced smear of the DSR-250P.
Optical type Super
SteadyShot� Sensors in the
Super SteadyShot� system detect both horizontal and vertical
movement of the camera while an active prism, located in front of the lens,
optically compensates for any unsteadiness.

(DXF-801CE) The DSR-250P
comes with the same 1.5-inch black-and-white CRT viewfinder (DXR-801CE) that was
originally designed for Sony high-end cameras. This lightweight viewfinder, with
its high resolution, lets you focus manually to optimise picture
clarity.

swing-out colour monitor that can be used during both recording and playback.
