The user interface is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring an LCD screen that rotates for easy viewing from various angles. This flexibility facilitates creative shooting angles and adds to the overall user experience. Additionally, both camcorders support a variety of recording modes, including standard and long-play, maximizing recording time and offering users options depending on their needs.
