Enjoying High-Definition Video with your Camcorder

Preserve your most treasured memories...with high-definition video recordings of a quality second only to actually being there.

What is High-Definition Video?

Your camcorder features a full high-definition image sensor (Full HD CMOS) that captures video at a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This results in video recordings of unparalleled high quality, fine detail and lifelike vivid colors.

Advantages of flash memory

Recording on flash memory means that there are no moving parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. This means a camcorder that is smaller, lighter and faster. Using the Quick Start function, you can open the LCD panel and start recording within approximately one second.

New Functions

• Face Detection: Automatically detect people's faces and use this information to adjust the focus and set the best exposure.
• Video Snapshot: Shoot or capture short scenes and arrange them into a video clip.
