The DCR-PC115 has a USB terminal, which allows it connect easily to your PC for fast, convenient access to all your digital images. Send e-mails, create presentations or just store them in your PC hard disk. The USB terminal helps you transfer the images you need easily.

These shakes are then compensated by the Super SteadyShot system, eliminating unwanted blurs, giving you smoother, more enjoyable video.
