Getting to Know Your Camera
Overview
The camera with 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take DVD-Quality MPEG-4 movies. By way of using MPEG-4
technology, more videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. High quality images with up to
11 mega-pixels can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, users can compose images
and examine them easily.
The Camera also features High-Definition movie recording. You can also connect DV to a HDTV by
HDMI cable, and easily playback recorded high-definition videos on the wide screen of an HDTV.
Exposure and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or allowed to be changed manually. An
8x digital zoom increases user control over the movies and pictures you take. The camera is also ideally
suited for using as a PC camera hooked up to your home computer via high speed USB 2.0 port.
Biuld-in 64 MB memory allows you to take pictures and movies without memory card. The memory card
slot allows users to increase the storage capacity up to 4GB.
Note
Partial memory of the built-in 64MB memory is used for Firmware code.
