Overview
 
Focus on family.
 
Capture family milestones in Full HD 60p and enjoy them instantly with the built-in projector. Shoot beautifully blur-free footageeven while on the movethanks to Balanced Optical SteadyShot  image stabilization. For more entertainment options, the projector also works with your HDMI-compatible tablet, phone or laptop, so you can project movies, internet videos and more on virtually any wall or flat surface.
 
The makings of a masterpiece.
 
Precious moments become even more special the second time around when captured in exquisitely rich 1920 x 1080/60p/24p Full HD video. Notice the perfect photo op while recording? You can shoot 8.9MP still images and video at the same time so you won't miss an ounce of the action. Gather up the gang and share your fantastic footage on the big screen simply by connecting the camcorder to your compatible HDTV with an HDMI  cable4.

Ready, set, project.
 
This is really cool. Featuring a high-contrast 13 lumen projector built into the LCD panel, you can transform your camcorder into a mobile movie theater by projecting onto a wall or virtually any flat surface. It's great for sharing footage on the fly, but since it works with HDMI-compatible smartphones, laptops and tablets, you can also project YouTube™ videos, photos, full-length films and more. It's tons of fun for family movie night, and super convenient for professionals who want to share presentations on the spot.
 
Breakthrough anti-shake technology.
 
Blurry footage is a sure way to ruin any scene. Balanced Optical SteadyShot  image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for a greater degree of camera shake significantly reducing blur and delivering stunningly smooth video. By moving the entire optical block at once, this revolutionary technology maintains the integrity of the optical path for reduced levels of distortion and vignetting plus noticeably smoother videos with significantly less blur.

Simply stunning audio.
 
Complement your gorgeous video with equally beautiful audio. Dolby® Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording. The new Advanced Sound System offers a wider dynamic range and crisper, cleaner sound while Audio REC level adjustments deliver even more creative control.
 
Add accessories and even Wi-Fi.
 
The newly integrated multi-interface shoe opens up a world of accessories to enhance your videos. Attach lights, monitors and other accessories to help you get the best shots in any situation. Attach the optional wireless module (ADP-WL1M) and tap into Wi-Fi  to turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote control, instantly upload footage to the web or wirelessly backup data to your PC. How convenient.

HD optimized for TV or web.
 
When it comes to HD quality and file size, you've got options. Choose between shooting in the AVCHD™ or MP4 formats depending on how you plan to use and share the footage. AVCHD provides premium video quality that looks amazing when played back on large screen HDTVs. MP4 is a smaller file size perfect for quick, easy uploads to sites like Facebook® and YouTube or storing in the cloud. The best part? It's all HD, and it all looks incredible.
 
Features:
 
Preserve special occasions in gorgeous 1920 x 1080 Full HD quality with this Sony HDR-PJ430V Handycam camcorder. Featuring a 13 lumen projector built into the LCD, you can project your videos onto virtually any wall or flat surface for spontaneous viewing. Plus, the projector works with HDMI-compatible smartphones, tablets and PCs, so you can also project YouTube videos, full-length movies, PowerPoint presentations and more. Shoot extra clear, sharp photos and videos thanks to Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, which cuts down on graininess and greatly improves low-light shooting. With Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, your footage will be crisp and beautifully blur-free. And with 32GB1 of built-in flash memory, you can record up to 11 hours and 40 minutes of HD video footage (HD LP mode).
 
1920x1080 Full HD 24p/60p w/20.4MP Exmor R  CMOS Sensor
 
Create cinematic video in high definition 1920 x 1080 24p/60p and high quality 20.4MP still images. Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sonys back-illuminated Exmor  R CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor R CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting conditions.
 
Up to 11hr 40min recording with 32GB embedded Flash Memory
 
The built-in 32GB1 embedded Flash memory can record and store up to 11 hours 40 minutes of high definition video footage (HD LP mode).
 
Wireless control, transfer, data backup via Wi-Fi
 
Handycam  camcorders with Multi-Interface shoe are compatible with a myriad of powerful accessories, including Sonys new optional Wi-Fi adapter ADP-WL1M1. Turn compatible smartphones and tablets into a remote control for your camcorder (remote functions include zoom, REC start/stop, and changing recording modes). Instantly share your videos and photos online using your smartphone or tablet. Conveniently backup all your videos and photos on your PC without any wires.
 
55x Extended Zoom to get even closer to the action
 
Extended Zoom works in conjunction with 30x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining HD image quality.
 
3.0 wide Clear Photo Plus LCD (230k) touch screen
 
The 3.0 (16:9) Clear Photo Plus LCD touch screen (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene. Use the touchscreen to select faces and objects to keep in focus and monitor levels of exposure while you record.
 
Closer Voice (with Face Detection)
 
When the camcorders Face Detection technology identifies people in a scene, an Advanced Acoustic Processor automatically reduces background noise, resulting in recorded voices with outstanding clarity and intelligibility.
 
Geotagging with built-in GPS receiver & NAVTEQ  maps
 
A built-in GPS receiver7 makes the HDR-PJ430V an ideal choice for travelers. The receiver gives you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as "tag" your shooting locations. Tagged videos and still images can be reviewed and played back using the Map Index function on the camcorder or once downloaded to your PC using the supplied PlayMemories Home software9. Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder's clock to the proper time zone
 
Intelligent Auto (180 different scene combinations possible)
 
Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes and wind noise reduction. There are 180 different combinations possible: Portrait, Baby, Walk, Tripod , Backlight, Landscape, Spotlight, Twilight, Macro, Low light, Auto Wind Noise Reduction. The camcorder utilizes an advanced sound processor and sophisticated noise reduction algorithms to reduce wind noise by up to 10db compared to other models. In addition to reducing low frequency noise, iAuto also suppresses mid- and upper-frequency noise, resulting in clearer, more enjoyable sound.
 
Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization w/ Active Mode
 
On standard SteadyShot camcorders a single shift lens is moved in the optical block to offset camera shake. Balanced Optical SteadyShot w/ Active Mode moves the entire optical block at once, maintaining the integrity of the optical path and drastically reducing shake, even while zoomed in. It also reduces vignetting (light falloff towards the edge of a scene) and lowers distortion in videos and still photos.
 
Attach an array of accessories via Multi-Interface shoe
 
Sonys Multi-Interface shoe is specifically designed to offer a common interface across all of Sonys Digital Imaging products. Quickly and easily attach a vast array of accessories compatible with this interface, including optional video lights, microphones and even Sonys new Wi-Fi module4, and dramatically increase the quality of your videos.
 
CinemaTone presets and 24p recording for cinematic quality video
 
For extra control over image expression, CinemaTone technology is used to deepen the color and recreate film-like color tones. Combined with 24p recording, youll have some of the tools you need to fulfill your need for cinematic expression.
 
New Advanced Sound System for Premium Audio
 
Premium video demands premium audio. This is why Sony has enhanced the sound system in select Handycam  camcorders. A wider dynamic range allows for clearer and cleaner sound recording when shooting in areas with either too much background noise or where the audio level is too low. Additionally, manual audio level adjustment allows users to fine tune sound recordings. These improvements add on to existing features of Wind Noise Reduction and Closer Voice technology that work with the camcorders built in face-detection technology to automatically reduces background noise.
 
Wind noise reduction for clear voice recording
 
Wind Reduction reduces noise and interference that is produced when wind passes over the microphone, giving you a clearer and more enjoyable sound experience.
 
Highlight Playback creates movies with transitions for you
 
Why spend hours editing your movies when you can let your camcorder do it for you? Highlight Playback identifies and compiles key scenes into a short, entertaining movie complete with music and transitions. You can even pinpoint the exact scene you want to include in the highlight reel.
 
Built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/charge
 
The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for charging or file transfer without having to remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so its out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording time.
 
Project everything from home movies to streaming video
 
Enjoy your favorite memories virtually anywhere with the high-contrast 13 lumen projector built-in to the LCD panel. The HDMI multi-terminal allows you to connect external devices that have an HDMI output (smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc.) and use the camcorders projector to enjoy more of your memories than what you capture on the camcorder itself. This puts a new and fun spin on family movie night, game day and adds convenience to the traveling professional who can project presentations on the fly.
 
5.1ch Surround mic for vivid and dynamic surround sound.
 
Dolby  Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording.
 
Shoot high quality AVCHD or web optimized MP4 video
 
Select between HD video in the AVCHD or MP4 format for highest quality or easy transfer and sharing. AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal for capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on your social networks or store on the cloud. MP4 produces smaller files optimized for web viewing and makes wireless transfer a breeze (on select Handycam camcorders with Wi-Fi feature and optional accessory ADP-WL1M).
 
Wide Angle G lens to capture more of what you want
 
Experience the pinnacle of Sony  lens technology with the professional-quality G Lens. Engineered for superior optical performance, Sony G lenses deliver brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, amazingly detailed images. In addition, the 26.8mm focal length in Photo and Video Modes offers a broader perspective for enhanced wide angle shooting.
 
Tracking Focus follows selected subjects in/out of the frame
 
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object, even if it leaves the frame and returns.
 
Expanded recording/monitoring with mic/headphone jack
 
Features dedicated mic and headphone inputs for expanded audio recording options and convenient monitoring of audio with headphones (external microphones and headphones sold separately).
 
Direct Copy to external HDD without PC
 
Store your memories in a whole new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder directly to an external hard disk drive13 (sold separately), all without a computer. Your camcorder can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your HDTV4, allowing you to utilize the camcorders handy playback features.
 
Take sequential still photos with golf shot
 
Building on the slow-motion capture capabilities of Smooth Slow Record, Golf Shot captures a few seconds of motion as a sequence of up to 22 still images, which can be viewed/printed individually or as a composite sequence shot image, perfect for analyzing the nuances of a golf swing, tennis serve, and other fast action.
