Outdated Product
As the entry-level model in the Handycam lineup from early 2014, this camera is still a full HD camera with all the features you need and more. It fundamentally differs from older "sisters" only in the absence of Wi-Fi and NFC, as well as a slightly more modest lens (27x instead of 30x, with the same advanced optical stabilization system). The design implements the function of taking photos during video recording, and with the ability to automatically trigger on a smile in the frame. The camera does not have its own memory; for storing materials, replaceable cards of the SD or MS families are used.

a model with serious flaws
10 June 2014 
Compact, lightweight, modern, comfortable.
I bought the camera in April of this year. About three weeks after purchase, the battery was discharged once again and completely refused to charge. Took it to service under warranty. The battery has been replaced. Two weeks passed and I noticed that the new battery was holding a charge less and less. Well, they probably fixed a bad battery at the service station, I decided. I decided not to go to them again (there’s no point in swearing). I bought a new battery myself, especially since I still wanted to buy one more powerful. And now several weeks have passed again, and after each new recharge the battery dies faster and faster. It’s clear that because of this, there is no longer any mood to take pictures, but even to pick up cameras at all. It is clear that the problem is no longer in the batteries. The other day I went to the service center again [censored]. Well, I hope that the situation will be resolved with as little bloodshed as possible. Otherwise, it’s just a shame for the money spent, and for your wasted nerves and strength too.

Additional features camcorder Sony HDR-CX240E:
  • Smile Shutter
  • Intelligent auto shooting mode (iAUTO)
Good to know:

Intelligent Auto Shooting Mode (iAUTO)
This function allows the camcorder to recognize up to 180 combinations of face detection functions, automatically switch to stand-alone shooting, and determine the desired scene settings.

Smile Shutter
Smile Shutter detects smiling faces and releases the shutter automatically. In addition to its automatic face detection capability, Smile Shutter also detects the eyes on the face for a more accurate representation of the position of the face. This function is even able to detect a human face that is displaced to a certain extent, and when it is detected, it will automatically release the shutter.
