High quality images with up to 16 megapixels can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, users can compose images and examine them easily.
The camcorder features 3” LCD touch panel which is an ideal platform for you to operate your camcorder. The menu options are accessible with your finger. With the touch panel, you can select the options directly and quickly.
The camcorder also features video recording at Full 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 camcorder has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in CAMILEO UPLOADER application, you can upload the videos or photos captured by the camcorder to Internet more effortlessly.
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. 5X~10X digital zoom helps you to control over the videos and photos 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.
