Capture 6.1MP Still Images
When switched to still camera mode, the SR300 can capture stunning 6.1 Megapixel still images. (Currently the highest Megapixel rating in the industry!) This is realized by the Enhanced Imaging Processor, which processes the huge amounts of pixel data retrieved from the improved ClearVid CMOS Sensor at high speed. The Dual Recording function makes it possible to record high-precision still images equivalent to 4.6 Megapixel even while shooting video.

Smooth Slow Recording
The DCRSR300 features a Smooth Slow Recording function for slow-motion recording of objects moving too fast for the human eye to perceive. This function now includes the ability to record sound while writing the slow motion movie file on media.

Optical Super SteadyShot
Super SteadyShot (Optical) lets you shoot stable images with reduced blur even during telescopic shooting, when images tend to blur due to camera shake. The DCRSR300 employs Optical Active Lens, which uses a sensor to detect camera shake and a lens that is controlled to compensate for any vibration. This optical method efficiently reduces camera-shake blur, allows stable shooting, and maintains superior image quality without destroying any data obtained through the lens. Camera-shake blur is also reduced when shooting still images as well.

Record Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound
Bring you impressive video capture to life with the addition of a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound track! When recorded images are viewed with a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound-compatible device, a lively audio experience is added to the visual pleasure of high-resolution images. And if the optional wireless microphone (ECM-HW1) is used, an even higher level of fidelity can be recorded when capturing subject sound — whether at a distance or in noisy settings.
