About the Sony HDR-AS50R
Enhanced HD video camera with a convenient remote
Enhanced HD video camera with a convenient remote
Got your Sony HDR-AS50R action camera in a hands-free mount? When you need to start recording or change a setting, you'll be glad it came with a Live-View Remote. The display on the remote exactly matches the one on the camera, so you can take control without having to learn new menus and displays. The remote comes with a wristband and an adapter for mounting on convenient surfaces like handlebars, so you can keep it close at hand.
The camera itself is impressive. It records 1080p HD footage at up to 60 frames per second, and shoots 11.1-megapixel still photos. The downloadable Action Cam app lets you edit footage and use creative shooting modes like slo-mo and time lapse. It's a convenient, rugged action camera that lets you record anything from a day at home with the kids to a reef dive in the Keys.
Share the action from anywhere
You can share your best clips with friends and family right away, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi. Transferring files to your phone for uploading to social media is simple. The camera automatically uses clips from your movie to instantly create a shareable highlight video, and you can live-stream adventures as they happen via Ustream™
Compact and tough enough to go just about anywhere
The HDR-AS50R is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Plus, it's compatible with Sony accessory mounts that help you record video even when your hands are busy. And don't worry when you go somewhere off the beaten path. The camera is splashproof on its own, and the included underwater housing makes it waterproof to 197 feet, sealing against dust, grime, and mud. That means you can take it biking, skydiving, surfing, skiing — anywhere your adventures take you.
