Stylish and Compact—Small, Lightweight HD Video Camera

Along with a digital image stabilizer that works even when you use the zoom function, the HD800 features a multi-blur canceller* that compensates for rotational blur in video images.

*This system may not correct shaking in images taken at low shutter speeds or in images taken with a high degree of shaking.

The image processing LSI enables high-speed image processing and supports the highly efficient MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 image-compression format. Thanks to this engine, you can record high-quality images for longer.

In Quick Stand-by mode, the Xacti HD800 starts up in just 1.2 seconds, so you can capture sudden shooting opportunities. Because the camera records to an SD memory card, rather than to a mechanical hard drive or disc media, you can start shooting immediately after opening the monitor.

Thanks to its compatibility with 32 GB SDHC memory cards, the Xacti HD800 can record up to 7 hours and 41 minutes of high-def video, despite its compact body.

*Recording in HD-SHQ mode. Note that individual files can be up to 4 GB in size. Once a file reaches that size, recording of a new file can begin as long as the memory card exceeds 4 GB in capacity. While the first file is being saved, neither video nor audio data can be recorded.

The Xacti HD800 adopts the AAC format, incorporating 48 kHz sampling and 16-bit stereo audio recording. As well as recording voices clearly, the HD800 can capture the atmosphere of the shooting location.

*A little motor noise may be noticeable during playback if you shoot the video in a particularly quiet location.

The Xacti HD800 enables you to shoot beautiful images with minimal noise, even under compromised lighting conditions, such as at dusk. In high-sensitivity mode or lamp mode, you can shoot subjects in dark locations with illumination down to just 3 lux.

* In High Sensitivity mode or Lamp mode.

The HD800’s small body houses a high-resolution 2.7-inch LCD monitor that can rotate through 285 degrees. This enables you to shoot scenes in a crowd by simply raising your hand, to shoot self-portraits with your children, or to shoot your pets from a low angle.

The 285-degree-rotating LCD monitor enables you to take self-portraits if you rotate the monitor by 180 degrees

The versatile video recording modes of the HD800 let you choose the mode best suited to your shooting situation. For example, you can use the wide and clear 16:9 HD mode (1280 x 720 pixels) for special scenes, or use the smaller web size mode (320 x 240 pixels) if you intend to use an image in a blog or e-mail.
