The Sony HDR-AS300 Action Camera features state of the art optical image stabilisation, and a Tessar lens from Zeiss that delivers sharp wide angle 12 Megapixel images and HD videos. The action camera is easy to use with accessible menus that make it simple to find the perfect settings. It comes with a waterproof and dustproof housing and is compatible with a range of mounts so it can be attached to your bicycle helmet, handheld with a finger grip and Live View Remote or mounted on a chest attachment for a first person style view.

Exmor R CMOS Sensor

With a 1/2.5-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor on board that is back illuminated to offer better image performance in low lighting situations, it produces 12 megapixel photos with fine detail and rich colours.

Quality Zeiss Lens

The Tessar lens from Zeiss on the camera is specifically designed to help you capture good looking images and sharp videos of landscapes with less distortion than traditional wide angle action cameras. You can also use the 3x smooth zoom, wide or medium settings to adjust the angle of view allowing you compose your shot closer to where the action is happening.

Create Steady Images and Video

The Sony action camera comes with updated image stabilisation using Sony’s new Balanced Optical SteadyShot2 system. This allows you to record steady video whether you are following your subject with your camera in your hand or it’s strapped to your chest as you plunge downstream white water rafting.

High Definition Video

Sony’s action cam is capable of shooting beautiful video footage at a 1080p resolution with the bitrate of 50Mbps so you can be sure you’re capturing high movie quality footage.

BIONZ X Image Processor

With the BIONZ X image processor on the camera, you get the ability to record fast paced movement and capture videos at fast frames rates. The camera can record 1080p videos at 120fps and 240fps when recording at 720p which means you can slow down videos 1/8th of the normal speed.

Included Wi-Fi Connectivity

It’s easy to connect the camera to your mobile device with the built in Wi-Fi that allows you to control up to 5 cameras from your phone or tablet. With Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application for iOS and Android devices, you can trigger recordings and get a live view of what the camera can see making it easier to compose a shot. It is also possible to copy images and videos over to your device so they can be easily shared with your friends and family within seconds of being captured.

GPS for Location Data

The camera has an in-built GPS that can record position data and even speed information so it can be used to organise your photography library by location, or it can be used to keep track of where you took a particular shot or video. It is even possible to use the GPS data to create an overlay that displays your speed data over the top of your final video.

Highlight Movie Maker

With the Highlight Movie Maker function on Sony’s Free PlayMemories Mobile application you can make edits of your footage quickly. The camera can automatically tag action points meaning all you have to select the videos you want to use, the desired length and some music then before you know it you’ve got a video to share with whoever you want.

Rugged Design and Waterproof to 60m

The HDRAS300 Action Camera from Sony has a rugged design and includes a waterproof and dustproof case that can be used underwater up to a depth of 60 meters. That makes the camera the perfect companion for any scuba diving or snorkelling activities so you can capture your underwater experience. Even without the case the body is splash and freeze proof making it an incredibly versatile camera.
