Sony - AS200 Waterproof Action Camera - White
- Key Specs
- Effective Pixels: 8.8 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- General
- Product Name: AS200 Waterproof Action Camera
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: HDRAS200V/W
- Color: White
- 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): 3952 x 2224 (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: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Image File Format(s): 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.)
- 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.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 2.8 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, color temp and 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: 8.8 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Display
- Display Type: Other
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Video
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4, 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.)
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: Yes (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
- Integrated Speaker(s): true
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (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: None (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, Composite video
- Microphone Type: Stereo
- Microphone Input: true (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)
- Power
- Rechargeable Battery: true
- Battery Size: Battery pack (The battery size required for operation.)
- Included
- Batteries Included: true (Indicates whether the product comes with the required batteries for its operation.)
- Remote Control Included: true
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 3.25 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 1.88 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 0.95 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)

A: Hi, nottechsavy, You may use a smartphone that is capable of tethering or Wi-Fi router for Live Streaming. However, proper operation with all smartphones or Wi-Fi routers is not guaranteed: http://helpguide.sony.net/cam/1520/v1/en/print.pdf (p83). Thanks! -Vincent
A: Hi Amommy88! This action cam is also compatible with a Windows operating system. -Anthony
Q: Does this model include GPS technology?
A: I don't know why previous answer was no. it definitely has GPS capability. Look at the top of the camera and you will see GPS with the satellite logo.
A: Hi Vikas, no, the live view remote is not included in the supplied accessories for this camera. The following items come with the camera: NPBX1 battery, micro USB cable, adhesive mount, waterproof case, tripod adapter, and owner's manual. Thanks_Mitch
A: Hi. shaggyzr2, latest information for your HDR-AS200V including manuals, video tutorials, and more are available on our eSupport website at https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=HDRAS200V&template_id=1®ion_id=1&tab=manuals#/manualsTab. I hope this helps, Dave
Q: can this be used without wifi, or smart phone? and could the live remote also be used without wifi?
A: Hi shaggyzr2, you can use the camera without wifi but you won't be able to use the remote as the two devices need to be connected wirelessly. Thanks_Mitch
A: Hi Pegasus, the camera does not have an internal memory. You need to insert a memory card to save the files. The camcorder does not have zoom features. Regards, Zander
