Both camcorders come equipped with a high-resolution 16:9 widescreen CCD sensor that ensures stunning image quality.

Consequently, users can achieve smoother recordings, even during dynamic filming situations.

Both models include a versatile selection of shooting modes, including a range of preset effects and manual control options. This versatility empowers users to experiment with their video creation, whether they choose to shoot with automatic settings or dive into manual adjustments for greater creative control.
