- Key Specs
- Effective Pixels: 11.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: HDRAS50/B
- Product Name: HDR-AS50 HD Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4608 x 2592 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): Exif 2.3, JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- White Balance Modes: AUTO/Color Temp/Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 11.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Display
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Video Encoding Formats: MPEG-4, XAVC S (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)

Q: Can you video and take pictures with it.
A: Hi Sheree! Yes. You can shoot videos and still photos using the Sony HDRAS50. -Anthony
Q: Does this camera have an optical zoom and if so what is it?
A: Hi samcan, no, the camera has 3x digital zoom. Thanks_Mitch
A: Hi, soccer101, This camera has Clear Image Zoom feature that provides a higher-quality zoomed image. Unfortunately, this feature is not available while recording movies. However, this can be used while taking still images. Check here for more details: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSCRX100_guide/en/contents/02/01/02/02.html. Regards, Vincent
Q: Is there a App for this camera so we can remotely control the recording??
A: Hi Dimitrie! Yes. You can download PlayMemories Mobile app on your smartphone. -Anthony
A: Hi BunnieGirl, It is best to use either SDHC or SDXC memory cards with speed class10 or faster / UHS speed class1 or faster. -Anthony
A: Agreed! The "specs" given are confused themselves. The case is WATERPROOF down to 197' Feet! So, yes, 100% safe in rain, as long as you place it inside the waterproof case first. It also has digital zoom, which the "specs" say it doesn't. I own one, I would know! Enjoy and God bless!
Q: Is this a digital tape camera?
A: Digital tape?? It requires a memory card. Get the highest Gig one you can afford, and go with a SDXC card, so you can use the high quality XAVC-S codec for videos. Enjoy!
Q: Does this camera have good quality?
A: The camera has good image quality for both stills and video. The quality isn't quite as good as some of the more expensive cameras but keep in mind this is a lower price point camera and as such it's quite good. If you need the absolute best image quality you'll have to pay for one of the more expensive cameras but for the average user this camera will likely exceed your expectations. I use digital SLR's and mirrorless cameras for video and know good video quality when I see it and this camera is in the "good" category and serves me well for action video. I recommend it to those looking for casual YouTube videos etc but there are higher resolution cameras with more dynamic range available but at higher price points.......but for my needs this camera does well.
