SSD (Solid State Drive) for Built-in Storage Media (HMX-H203/H204/H205 only)
Your camcorder uses an advanced SSD technology (based on flash memory) for its built-in memory. The SSD helps the camcorder boot, read data, and operate software much faster than normal HDD (Hard Disk Drives). Also, SSD is very stable, durable, and makes less noise while in operation. It is environmentfriendly because low electric power is required.
Touch panel adopted
You can play recorded images and set functions by simply tapping on the LCD screen.
Dual Recording
While recording full HD videos, you can capture still images with the simple push of a button. Capture still images and save them to the storage.
Shooting Custom Scenes
In Scene mode, appropriate options are pre-set for each kind of scene. Select a scene that matches your shot for easy shooting.
ii
Shift over wider range of motion with Smart OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)
Smart OIS improves on existing Optical Image Stabilization by allowing the camcorder lens to shift over wider range of motion in wide/tele zoom position. This allows the camcorder to compensate for greater degrees of camcorder shake and delivers a stunning level of image smoothness.
Magic Finger Focus, Magic Finger Shot
To focus on a subject, just touch the screen and shoot. Your camcorder optimizes the focus for the touched point, giving you professional results with one easy operation. You can also focus on your subject and take a photo with a touch of your finger.
Smart Auto with Self-Decision on Situation
STBY 00:00:00 [307Min]
9999
MENU
In Smart Auto mode, your camcorder automatically chooses the appropriate camcorder settings based on the type of scene it detects. Smart Auto mode is helpful if you are not familiar the best camcorder settings for various scenes.
Time Lapse Recording Catches the Moment
Time lapse recording lets you capture the blooming of flowers or the passage of clouds like the pros.
Use this function to make UGC (User-Generated Content ) videos, artistic recordings, eductational programs or documentary videos.
Make All Your Recordings with a Simple 
VIEW Button!
Press the iView button to preview your storyboards before printing them. It’s a quick and easy way to see a digest of what you’ve recorded without having to view the whole video.
Video digests and storyboard printing
The Digest/Storyboard function captures 16 still images from the video you select and saves the images to the storage media. You get a quick overview of your video - a real help when you want to review a video quickly.
Direct Upload of Your Videos to the Web!
Intelli-studio built-in editing software installs
directly from your camcorder to your PC when
you connect the camcorder to your PC via USB cable. Using Intelli-studio, you can upload
your videos and photos to your PC with ease and upload them directly to YouTube, Flickr or Facebook. Sharing videos with your friends
and family is simpler than ever.
