The lightweight AG-HMC41 records full HD to low cost SD/SDHC memory cards.

The handheld offers a 12X optical zoom, (includes 2X, 5X, 10X) and professional image functions like Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) that helps compensate for wide variations in lighting, and a Cine-Like Gamma mode which gives recordings a more film-like aesthetic.
