The camera supports the MiniDV format, which allows for high quality digital video recording with excellent color reproduction and clarity.

Along with its compact size, the camcorder accommodates long recording sessions with its efficient power consumption, making it a practical choice for on-the-go videography.

Lastly, the camcorder offers various shooting modes and effects, enhancing ease of use and creative expression.
