Getting to Know Your Camera
Overview
This camera with a 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 format videos. The H.264 technology allows
for extended video recording with less memory. High quality images up to 16 mega-pixels can also
be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, you can view and examine the video and photo
easily.
The 3” LCD touch panel is an ideal platform for you to operate your camera. The menu options are
accessible with your fingertip. With the touch panel, you can select the options directly and quickly.
The camera also features video recording at an HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect
it to an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the
wide screen HDTV.
Moreover, the camera is equipped with WiFi module and the exclusive application. You can broadcast
live streaming of the camera on Ustream website via WiFi. Your family and friends can watch the live
video streaming of the camera on their smart phones, tablets, or computers.
The camera can also connect with your computer via WiFi. It can be a wireless webcam for your
on-line video chatting. Through WiFi connecting, you can transfer the videos and photos on your
computer, and monitor live video from your camera.
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 16x
digital zoom helps you to control over the video and photo you take. The varied effect options, such
as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.
The built-in memory allows you to take photos and to record videos without a memory card. The
memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.
