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 8 mega-pixels
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 HD resolution of 1440x1080. You can also connect it
to an HDTV via HDMI cable, and easily playback recorded high-denition videos on the wide screen
HDTV.
Exposure and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or allowed to be changed manually. An
2x/4x digital zoom increases user control over the movies and pictures you take.
Built-in memory allows you to take pictures and movies without memory card. The memory card slot
allows users to increase the storage capacity.
Note
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for Firmware code.
