Major Features of this Camera

Built-in Hard Disk

This hard disk camera records images to a large, built-in hard disk drive (HDD) instead of a DV tape like conventional video cameras. This enables extended hours of high-resolution, MPEG2 video recording.

Various Recording Modes

You can select the most suitable recording mode for picture quality, image size, recording time, and computer environment. ( pg. 62)

Enjoying Various Playback Features

Unlike tape operation, playback is simple and easy in this camera since no time is needed for rewinding or fast forward operations.

Playlist, playback effects, and other functions are also available for enjoying many different

types of playback.

Editing Files on your PC

USB 2.0 enables the smooth transfer of video and still images to a computer. With the bundled image editing software, you can easily

edit video and create your own DVDs. (Refer to “Read this first!” and the software installation and USB connection guide.)

Direct Printing

If your printer is

compatible with PictBridge, still images can be printed easily by connecting the camera

with USB cable directly to the printer. ( pg. 47)
