This camera also features video recording at HD resolution of 1440x1080. You can also connect it to an
HDTV via HDMI cable, and easily playback recorded high-denition videos on the screen HDTV.
Moreover, the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in YouTube Direct application, you can upload the videos captured by the camera to YouTube more effortlessly.
ISO speed and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or allowed to be changed manually. A 4x digital zoom increases you control over the movies and pictures you take.
The built-in memory allows you to take pictures and video without memory card.
