Sony HDR-CX330 Questions and Answers


#1 Does this camera have a night shot mode?

No this camcorder does not have night shooting capabilities. It does very well in low light conditions though. I have recorded street scenes very successfully with nothing more than the street lights themselves.

#2 Does the camera come with an ac adapter to charge the batteries?

THE BATTERY CHARGES THROUGH THE CAMERA.
you can get an optional charger for the battery.

#3 What's the longest continuous recording time? In what file format? I need to record recitals/concerts which can be 2 or 3 hours long. Thanks.

#4 Is it possible to switch off image stabilisation, eg when using tripod. I ask because normally stabilisation does not work when filming piano playing.

Yes, you may turn off Optical Steady Shot/ Image Stabilization on your camcorder.

#5 Does this Sony camcorder have the same cool 'take a still picture when a smiling face is detected' feature as some of the other Sony camcorders?

Face Detection with voice enhancement and noise reduction
Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
it doesn't mention smiling face.
