The camcorder with 8 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 videos. 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 features 3” LCD touch panel which is an ideal platform for you to operate your
camcorder. The menu options are accessible with your nger. With the touch panel, you can select the
options directly and quickly.
The camcorder also features video recording at HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect it
to an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-denition 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. A 16x 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.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If the LCD preview is not clear while shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?1.
Try to switch between Macro and Normal Mode.
The les on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.2.
The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by the camcorder instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5).
Or please change the SD/SDHC/SDXC card to a high speed one.
Why do some of my indoor photos look blurry and dark?3.
The camcorder extends photo exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camcorder (and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking photos. The shutter will sound when photos are being taken.
How do I charge battery?4.
You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable. The camcorder must be turned OFF;
blinking light conrms charging, and the light becomes constant after the charging is completed.
In AC charging Mode, the light will turn itself off automatically after 3~5 minutes. The full charge time is about 4 to 4.5 hours. (Actual charging time may vary. It depends on the battery conditions.)
After connecting the USB cable to the computer, ……5.
