Sony HDR-AS100 Overview
The compact Sony HDR-AS100VR POV Action Cam + Live-View Remote Bundle is designed for point-of-view (POV) shooting during action sports including skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, motocross, skydiving, mountain biking and other outdoor adventure sports. It supports up to Full HD 1080/60p XAVC S video at 50 Mbps. It also supports other shooting modes including multiple slow motion modes. You can shoot 1280 x 720p slow motion video at 100 or 120 fps, and 800 x 480 slow motion video at 200 or 240 fps. The camera can also capture 13.5MP still images when using the photo mode.
The HDR-AS100VR features built-in Wi-Fi with One Touch NFC pairing capability. This means that Wi-Fi and NFC enabled smartphones and tablets can pull optimized movies and photos from the HDR-AS100VR without a cable. Once the video is copied onto your mobile device, you can use its 3G or 4G mobile broadband connection to email movies to friends and family or upload your footage to social media sites like Facebook and YouTube. The HDR-AS100VR also features built-in GPS, which allows you to add a geographical narrative to your movies and photos. Plus, Sony's Live-View Remote is included so you can operate and monitor up to five HDR-AS100VR Action Cam's remotely.
Sony includes a ruggedized waterproof housing with the HDR-AS100VR. For added convenience, the waterproof housing has a universal tripod mount. Plus, the camera body includes a tripod mount accessory and it is splash proof as well. The camera's housing is waterproof down to a depth of 16.4' and shockproof from falls up to 5'. The camera is also dirt and dust resistant, which makes it nearly impervious to mud, snow, rain, sand and grime. The HDR-AS100VR is equipped with a 170° ultra-wide angle ZEISS Tessar lens and a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor as well.
Other convenient features on the HDR-AS100VR include HDMI connectivity and a built-in stereo microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It's outfitted with a memory card slot that supports Memory Stick Micro cards and microSD/SDHC cards (a class 10 or higher microSDXC card is required to record XAVC S). The card slot supports expandable external memory for virtually endless recording. To compensate for camera shake that's typical when shooting POV sports action, the HDR-AS100VR even features SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode.
- SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Active Mode
- SteadyShot image stabilization allows smooth image shooting while the user is in motion. With the HDR-AS100VR Action Cam, the image stabilizer digitally compensates for minute rapid vibrations that are typically caused by bicycle/motorcycle motion.
- Splash Proof Body
- The HDR-AS100VR Action Cam was built with an improved splash proof body (IPX4-class). Enjoy carefree use of the camera outside of its included housing - even in rainy weather or splash-prone situations. With a universal tripod screw mount accessory included for the HDR-AS100VR Action Cam itself, you can easily attach the camera directly to a tripod.

- Shoot Pro-Quality XAVC S 60p (50 Mbps) Video
