## Description

Sony HDR-CX405 full HD camcorder (30x optical zoom). In some cases, it is unable to take a photo if you release your finger from the Shutter button while the auto focus is operating. Hold and press the Shutter button slightly longer before releasing your finger. Transfer a different movie and see if it plays.Alternatively, transfer the movie which does not play together with another movie to see if it can be played back. If that does not fix the problem, change the image selection method from [Select on This Device] to [Select on Smartphone] and transfer it again. Check that the file format is compatible with Wi-Fi transfer. The surrounding radio waves may be unstable. Use the camera and smartphone closer together. Prepare the camera unit to capture an image in advance and connect with NFC One-touch once again.

Review: TV Show Quality... - I am an aspiring actor who purchased this camera and a few other miscellaneous products to aid me in making my own indie films and this camera would be just what you need... The camera is lightweight and compact which means you can easily take it wherever you want without any hassle, although I wouldn't recommend dropping it as you will probably destroy it. The battery lasts about 2 hours which is brilliant for when I am filming for a long period of time, the battery also only takes about 30 minutes to charge. The camera menu is relatively easy to navigate and all of the settings are easy to follow and change, however be warned that the manual is outdated and some features that are given in the manual are not present in the camera. Finally, the quality is fantastic! The camera can record in AVCHD instead of the standard MP4, meaning basically that it looks really good. I honestly thought that I was watching a professional television show when I was watching clips back. I would recommend that you purchase a Sony Micro SD Card as the camera only takes Micro cards, the camera does not come with it's own so make sure to buy one with this product. I personally have a 32gb Sony Micro SD Card and I record up to 3 hours of content in the highest quality and have it processed in seconds with that particular card. Overall, fantastic camera for the price and would recommend it to anyone look to record crisp and realistic video!
Review: Awesome design and quality at this price - Longevity and durability are key factors but I have had it for three months and shot a fair amount of video with absolutely no problems. As long as you don't drop it on concrete it seems likely to last. Otherwise, an amazing piece of gear: super high quality photos and sound, very light and handy - I often just put it in my trouser pockets. Excellent zoom and single-shot facilities. Menu intuitive: all done with a single button. If forced to criticize: 1) it shoots automatically in mp4 and another super high-quality full-HD format. I don't need the latter, but I can't see a way of selecting mp4 only. Not a big deal, except I have to delete the larger files manually. 2) It connects and transfers files easily to a computer, but I can't find a way from the computer to DELETE files on the camera's internal storage. Maybe there's a way, but I can't find it. I have to delete them on the camera itself, which is weird. However, for the price, this is an astonishing camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why amazon sells bundle with sandisk extreme 64 gb and 32gb sdxc memory card? the 2 are not compatible!**
A: Yep!!! Nearly spoiled a Xmas present today because of that, bought a 32gb with it and it doesn't fit. Luckily I had a 8gb to use for now. Awful by Amazon to be honest

**Q: Does the camera have a microphone socket?**
A: No

**Q: Do you have to charge the battery while in the camcorder or is there a separate charger ?**
A: I've got the very similar CX190( model before, I think) which I still use , 8 years on (?) and love. I've dropped it so many times I don't deserve it to still work, yet it does. Great little camcorder. The battery charges very quickly too.

**Q: Does it have a thread for attaching it to a tripod please?**
A: Yes it does have tripod thread near the front of the camcorder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good But Not Perfect.
*by J***H on 2 April 2019*

This is a good little camera, but could be better. It’s very light, which some may say makes it feel cheap, but it’s well made and comfortable to use for long periods. It simultaneously records in two file formats (.MTS and .MP4). The .MTS files are very large but are of very high resolution. The .MP4 files are still fairly good quality, but the smaller size makes them more useable for uploading or sharing on the web. Quality of the optical zoom is excellent and you get about five and a half hours recording on a 64GB Micro SD card at the highest quality. You have to purchase the SD card separately and not all cards are compatible. I use Sony branded cards. I have found that files transfer more quickly to the PC when the camera is connected directly (rather than using a card reader). I do have a few criticisms. My previous Sony Handycam had a viewfinder as well as the fold out screen and I miss this a great deal. No memory card is supplied, so unless you order one the camera can’t be used immediately. The connector lead supplied only has an HDMI connector, so no composite etc. There is no microphone input socket. Apart from the niggles listed above I’m quite happy with this camera and it performs well.
