HD camcorder
Quick sharing
With the built-in Windows software, you can
post your movies on websites like YouTube,
Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo with no fuss. For
Mac users, you can easily organise, edit and
share with iMovie from iLife. With an advanced
compression technique, the HD video format
(H.264) used by the Philips camcorder can
generate smaller files than those from standard
camcorders, digital cameras and mobile
phones without any loss in video quality, so
you can share them faster! These files can also
be used by other programs like iPhoto and
Windows Movie Maker.
Advanced anti-shake
Advanced anti-shake lets you take great videos
that you will always be proud to share. Steady
and undistorted videos are ensured by gyro
sensors that are armed with advanced
algorithms. The sensors take measurements of
the distance between the ground and the
camera lens, and make the necessary
corrections whenever the camcorder
wobbles. This advanced technology gives you
blur-free pictures every time, letting you
capture the best moments in life in amazing
videos.
Dual format recording
Full HD videos are great for watching on HD
TVs. But should you want to email the video or
share it online, the large HD file will have to be
compressed and converted into an email-
friendly format. Your camcorder takes away
that hassle by offering dual format recording.
Turn the feature on and your videos are
recorded in two formats—full HD (1080p) and
email-friendly QWVGA
(240p)—simultaneously. This lets you enjoy
your videos to the fullest on your HD TV, and
gives you a format you can immediately share
electronically.
Full HD (1080p) videos
Capture and enjoy videos in full high definition
quality (full HD 1080p). "1080" refers to the
display resolution in terms of the number of
horizontal lines on screen. "p" stands for
progressive scan, or the sequential appearance
of the lines in each frame. 1080p gives video
quality that is superior to that found in typical
mobile phones and digital cameras. In addition,
the camcorder uses the same video format as
Blu-ray players and discs — H.264. This highly
sophisticated format delivers superb HD
picture quality, letting you savour crystal clear
memories on video.
Quick impression
Make a quick summary of the videos you have
shot — all with the click of a button. Quick
impression automatically extracts highlights of
your latest videos and strings them into a
synopsis of your recordings. View the essence
of your videos instantly or use the summary to
simply remind yourself of what you have
filmed. All you have to do is select Quick
Impression on your camcorder. Reliving
memories has never been easier.
