Other Features
Smooth Slow Recording--This is a feature that was previously unique to the DCR-DVD505 (Review, Specs, $664). The feature records at four times the normal frame rate of 60 fps, or 240 fps.. Smooth Slow Record plays back footage in slow-motion and can only be engaged in 3-second intervals on the DCR-DVD505, with the result that each 3 second real-time clip plays back in 12 seconds. We expect this option to function comparably in the HDR-UX1

Super SteadyShot-- Super SteadyShot is Sony’s branded electronic image stabilization (EIS) effect, and is found on many of their camcorders. It is not an optical system, and results in some degradation of image quality.
