Captured Simultaneously
Digital Image Stabilizer
The Xacti C6 enables simultaneous shooting of 6.0-megapixel still
images and VGA-size (640×480 pixel) video clips. You never need to
miss another precious photo opportunity.
The Xacti C6 employs the high-quality MPEG-4 recording format to record
VGA-size video clips at 30 fps. Because files are conveniently small in size,
you have the ability to record long, high-quality video clips. You'll enjoy
clear video images, even on a large-screen TV. Furthermore, with a 1GB
SD card, you can record approximately 60 minutes in TV-HQ mode.
A proprietary SANYO algorithm achieves optimal correction for camera
shake which may occur when you're shooting video clips. The digital
image stabilizer operates effectively under any zoom setting, from wideangle to telephoto.

Beautiful Pictures Even in the Dark,
"ISO3600 High Sensitivity Movies"
Digital Recording
with Realistic Stereo Sound
Using advanced 9-pixel mixture technology, video sensitivity has been
increased that of still shots to
ISO3600. You can capture beautiful
movie footage under insufficient
lighting such as during parties
indoors or outdoors in the evening.
A built-in microphone enables superb 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo sound for
AAC-LC (MPEG-4 Audio). This contributes to smaller file sizes and more
efficient file compression. Also, the Xacti C6 is able to reduce noise
caused by wind during shooting.
Note (1): Depending on the mode used to take still images, simultaneous video clip
shooting may be interrupted.
Note (2): While shooting video clips, using the digital image stabilizer may change the
angle of view for still images.

Super-Efficient 6.37-Megapixel CCD
The Xacti C6 comes with a 1/2.5-inch CCD with a total resolution of 6.37
megapixels. SANYO's proprietary image-adaptive data processing
technology removes color moirés and reduces aliasing and noise caused
by dots. This technology improves the high-frequency characteristics of
the image and enhances diagonal resolution, for higher-quality images.
Real-Time Interpolation
for 10.2-Megapixel Recording
SANYO's original
algorithm uses a
pixel-interpolation
filter to convert the
CCD's 6.0 effective
megapixels to the
recorded equivalent
of 10.2 megapixels.
This filter enables
clear printouts of

2.0-Inch Trans-Reflective LCD
for Easier Viewing in Direct Sunlight
The Xacti C6 features a trans-reflective LCD panel, which uses a bright,
low-temperature, polysilicon Thin Film Transistor (TFT) with a high
resolution of approximately 210,000 pixels. This panel alleviates
problems caused by light reflection in sunny weather. The Xacti C6
actually makes use of Trans-reflective LCD visible

even in direct sunlight
display clear, highvisibility images,
even in direct
