Compact and stylish
The compact design makes the HDC-SD1 easy to carry about, and with its smart styling you'll want to take it everywhere.
High-definition recording on an SD/SDHC Memory Card in AVCHD format
In the AVCHD format you can record onto an SD or SDHC Memory Card and get up to about 90 minutes* of continuous recording.
When recording with HE mode (6 Mbps).
Quick start-up - 1.7 sec
In Quick Start mode*, the SD1 begins recording in just 1.7 seconds from the time the LCD is opened. This lets you shoot those sudden shooting opportunities.
This mode can be selected from the menu.
Anti Ground Shooting
The O.I.S. linear motor system can detect when the camera is in an unusual shooting position - such as when you've inadvertently left it on in recording mode. In these cases, the camera automatically stops recording, saving both battery power and disc space.
