The 460,800-dot (960 x 480) LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp and detailed images for monitoring or playback. In addition, you can navigate through the menu system by touching the screen. You can also power on this camcorder by simply opening its LCD display.

Imaging Device: The HDR-CX675 features an advanced 1/5.8" (3.1mm) back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS imaging sensor with 2.5MP gross pixels. The camcorder has 2.29 MP effective pixels for 16:9 movies and still images and 1.71MP effective pixels for 4:3 photos. The unique image processing system of the Sony BIONZ-X processor allows 16:9 still image resolution of up to 9.2 MP (4032 x 2272).

Sony G-type Lens: The camcorder features a premium-quality 1.9mm-57mm wide-angle Sony G-type lens designed specifically for compact camcorders. The 35mm equivalent is 26.8-804mm for 16:9 movies and still images.

30x Optical and 60x Clear Image Zoom: The CX675 has a 30x optical zoom and a 60x Clear Image Zoom. While most digital zooms electronically crop the picture to get closer to the subject, the Clear Image Zoom uses advanced processing to double the optical zoom. The processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, which results in more realistic, and clearer images. In addition to the Clear Image Zoom, you can activate the Digital Zoom for a total zoom value of 350x.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization: Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with a 5-axis Intelligent Active Mode to compensate for camera shake. With SteadyShot activated, you'll get smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto, even while shooting footage while walking.

The One-Touch Sharing function lets you transfer your videos and photos from your camcorder to your mobile device or computer. You can wirelessly connect NFC-enabled Android devices by simply touching the device to the camera. You can also connect using the QR Code reader on your smartphone or tablet. Live streaming via UStream allows you to share events in real time.

Face Detection: The camcorder's Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes the camera settings for videos and still photos. Videos and photos recorded using Face Detection are indexed according to the faces detected in each scene. This allows you to search for what you want by selecting the faces displayed in the index.

Focus Modes: The Sony Handycam HDR-CX675 features Auto Focus and Manual Focus modes. When using Auto Focus, you can choose to focus on a subject in the center of the screen. For more difficult focusing situations, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch screen. The minimum focus distance is approximately 0.39" (1 cm) at wide angle and 31.5" (80 cm) at telephoto.
