brilliance, true-to-life
colour saturation and
perfect renditions of
subtle tones.

"shake" without compromising
picture quality like some
other digital stabilization
systems.

Battery Information
At the touch of a
button, battery
information is displayed
on the LCD screen when
charging and when the
camcorder is turned off.
The display will show
how much the battery is
charged, in 10%
increments and the
recordable time left
when using the LCD
screen or in the
viewfinder.
Manual Focus
Allows the user to
manually adjust the
focus of the camcorder
using the touch panel.
Manual focusing also
allows the user to
control the focus in
difficult situations
where either the
environment or the
subject does not allow
the camcorder's auto
focus to perform
optimally, such as when
shooting through a
window or in a crowded
environment.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be
intimidating for some
people, so with a press of
the Easy Handycam button,
most of the advanced
features of the camcorder
are "locked out" leaving
only the buttons essential
for recording operational
