Easy captures Full HD Videos

Not only it features a compact body, but also the VPC-SH1 can capture Full HD videos with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The original vertical ergonomic style enables slim body with usability.*4

The video format used for this model is "MPEG-4 AVC / H.264," which is easy to use on PC and Internet environments, as it is a single file format, similar to the one used for still photos. "MPEG-4 AVC / H.264" is fully supported by the latest Windows® OS, "Windows 7"*5, which was launched last year.

Consequently, video files are displayed in the same thumbnail format as still picture files, and they can also be played back directly with Windows Media Player, and editable with Windows Live Movie Maker*6, and are Device Stage compatible. This makes the files even more convenient for use on computers.

"Sound Zoom" function enables clear sound recordings according to the scene
The VPC-SH1 has three microphone modes for recording clear sounds according to the scenes and purposes.
(1) Wide Mode: Stereo recording with high channel separation
(2) Gun Microphone Mode: Recording that focuses on sound emanating from the direction that the camera is pointing, while reducing sounds from other directions
(3) Zoom Combination Mode: Automatically changes the directivity and sound gathering format according to the image zoom conditions

Features & Benefits

Industry's smallest, lightest and thinnest class body for expanded imaging opportunities

Product development for the Xacti series has been carried out with an emphasis on a compact design that can be taken anywhere and anytime by using the concept of a handy device for recording the moments of daily life.

The VPC-SH1 is a top rated small-class Full HD dual camera approximately 190cc in volume, 204g in weight, and 43mm in thickness. Its excellent portability dramatically expands the situations in which a video camera can be used.
To take usability a step further, the VPC-SH1 is equipped with SANYO’s original “Double Sub REC Button.” In addition to the ordinary recording buttons, a recording button for both photo and video are separately provided on the upper front part of the body to easily capture low-angle images in a comfortable posture. Being able to easily shoot a camera from a child’s or pet’s eye level makes it possible to capture the world from a different point of view.
