  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 8.4 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
    • Product Name: HDR-MV1 Flash Memory Camcorder
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: HDRMV1
    • 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): 1920 x 1080 (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.)
    • Optical Zoom: None (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
    • Image Stabilization: None (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
    • 360 Degree Capture: false (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Minimum Aperture: f/2.8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
    • 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.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 18.2 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, Onepush, Outdoor, Indoor (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: 8.4 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Minimum Focal Length: 18.2 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 2.7 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Touch Screen: false (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.)
    • Video Encoding Formats: MPEG-4 (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.)
    • Memory Card Compatibility: Memory Stick Micro, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
  • Features
    • Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
    • Integrated Speaker(s): true
    • Wind Noise Reduction: false (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
  • Connectivity
    • Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Output(s): HDMI
    • Microphone Type: Built-in (stereo)

Q: Looking for a small, unobtrusive camcorder to record an upcoming wedding. Is this viable for that purpose. I'm not looking to record a band session which is what this seems to be designed for. Does this have zoom in/out capability? Thank you.

A: Hi ResQme, this camera doesn't have zoom functionality. If you're looking for compact size camcorder but with outstanding zoom features and can record dazzling videos, kindly check out the models below. - HDR-PJ670 - FDR-AX53 - HDR-CX675 I hope this helps! Dave

Q: what size sd card can i put in there

A: Hi. Masoodjamily, please check out this link: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/HDRMV1_guide/en/contents/11/03/03/03.html?search=Recording%20time. Dave

Q: Does it have SD memory in the package?

A: Hi Sung, no, the SD card is sold separately from the camera. Thanks_Mitch

Q: Can the HDRMV1 do Automatic Gain Control on the audio? I'd be interested in using this to record my own band's live performances. And can't be fiddling with manual levels while playing.

A: Hi, yes, the camera has a limiter to control audio recording. We recommend lowering the audio recording level in advance before recording loud sounds. Thanks_Mitch

Q: Where cab I download software to view recorded films on my lab top?

A: Hi shafi, you can use the PlayMemories Software to view your recorded files​ to your laptop.
