SEOUL, Korea (AVING) -- <Visual News> Sony Korea releases its ultra-light premium full HD handy camcorder 'HDR-TG5' in Korea market, which combines powerful performance and simple operation into a sleek, portable body.

The HDR-TG5V camcorder captures 1920x1080 high-definition video and 4-megapixel photos. Weighing only 220g, the model includes 16GB of flash memory, embedded GPS, minimal buttons and a new intuitive user interface for the touch-panel LCD.

The camcorder's built-in GPS antenna and NAVTEQ digital maps geo-tag your videos and photos so you can document your destinations on a map. Geo-tagged content is marked by a push pin at each shot location and can be played back on the camcorder map index display on the 2.7-inch wide LCD touch panel. You can also enjoy this feature on the PC using the included Picture Motion Browser software.

For added clarity and detail, a built-in flash reduces shadows and improves still images in low-light situations.
