Getting to Know Your Camcorder
Overview
The camcorder with 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 movies. By way of using H.264 technology, more videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. 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 also features movie 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 camcorder has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in YouTube Direct application, you can upload the videos captured by the camcorder to YouTube more effortlessly.
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 4x digital zoom helps you to control over the movies and pictures 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 pictures and to record movies without a memory card. The memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.
Note
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for the camcorder’s Firmware code.
