Product Details / Description:

The SONY HDR-CX680 is built for convenience without sacrificing quality. Its compact size and low weight make it comfortable to carry and handle for extended periods of sightseeing, especially popular with female travelers and beginners. The inclusion of a small tripod ensures stability for shots where no movement is desired, such as time-lapses or interviews.

About the Product

The camera employs a G Lens and an Exmor R CMOS sensor, delivering clear video quality and good low-light performance (though it lacks a dedicated night shot mode). Its Fast Intelligent AF locks onto subjects quickly, ensuring crisp focus for fast-moving scenes. For audio, the 5.1ch microphone captures realistic sound, enhanced by functions like Automatic Wind Noise Reduction and My Voice Cancelling, which suppresses the voice of the person operating the camera.

In addition to video, the camera can capture 9.2-megapixel still photos by simply pressing the photo button while recording, and even features a “Smile Shutter” to automatically snap pictures when a smile is detected. The built-in Wi-Fi and NFC allow for easy wireless transfer of videos and photos to a smartphone using the Imaging Edge Mobile app for quick sharing.

Faqs:

Is this camera available in different colors?

The primary model is brown, but depending on our current stock availability, we may rent out the white color version instead. We are unable to guarantee or confirm the color choice beforehand.

Is a memory card necessary for this rental?

No, the camera has a generous 64GB of built-in flash memory, which is sufficient for over six hours of high-quality Full HD video recording (FH mode). However, you can supply your own microSD card or Memory Stick Micro for extended recording.

What must I remember to do when I attach the camera to the tripod?

When the camera is mounted on the tripod for stable shooting, you must remember to set the camera’s image stabilization function to “Off.” This prevents the camera’s internal system from causing unintended movements in your footage.

Can I take pictures while I am recording video?

Yes, by pressing the photo button while video recording is in progress, you can capture still images with a resolution equivalent to up to 9.2 megapixels.

Is there a maximum limit on how long I can record continuously?

Regardless of the recording mode, the maximum continuous recording time for a single video clip is approximately 12 hours, at which point recording will automatically pause.
