Getting to Know the Camcorder

What is so special about recording on flash memory?

Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory ( / / only) or on a memory card (SD or SDHC card). Recording on flash memory means that there are no moving parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a camcorder that is smaller, lighter and faster.
