  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 11.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
    • 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.)
  • General
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: HDRAS50R/B
    • Product Name: HDR-AS50 HD Action Camera with Live View Remote
    • 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
    • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
    • 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.)
    • HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
    • Slow Motion Recording: false
    • 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.)
  • Storage
    • Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
  • Compatibility
    • Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
    • Socket Size: 1/4 in.

Q: Does this camera stream directly to Facebook? I want to stream church service directly to Facebook so will this work?

A: No, you cannot use this camcorder to perform live-streaming on Facebook Live.

Q: This camera is for youtubers?

A: Yes. But it can be used in many different purposes such as in parties, travelling, or water sports. I use it for vlogs because it's very handy and the quality of vids and pics is awesome.

Q: Do Sony cameras (that support live streaming) now work with anything other than uStream? Ustream has changed ownership and no longer offers a free option. I would like to stream to youtube live using RTMP. Last I knew Sony only allowed ustream.

A: Hi ADKMechETech, Sony camcorders (that supports streaming) can only work with IBM Cloud™ Video service (formerly known as Ustream®). We cannot use Real-Time Messaging Protocol to stream to YouTube or any website. Here's the announcement for more details: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00200769. Regards, Vincent

Q: Would this camera be a good choice to record trailing off road, mounted inside the jeep?

A: Definitely! It's very small and would be easy to mount. It comes with a helmet strap, I think. Either way you can use any 3rd party mounting stuff made for the GoPro or any other camera.
