The higher the resolution and quality settings, the more memory is used.

The compression rate increases when choosing lower resolution and quality settings. The higher the compression rate is, the longer the recording time will be. However, the image resolution and quality will be lower.

The bit rate automatically adjusts to the recording image, and the recording time may vary accordingly.

Memory cards of bigger than 32GB in capacity may not work properly.

The maximum size of a movie file that can be recorded at one time is 3.5GB.

The Samsung SC-HMX20C camcorder represents a significant advancement in compact video recording technology. Launched with a sleek and lightweight design, this camcorder caters to both amateur videographers and seasoned filmmakers seeking portability coupled with quality.

One of the standout features of the SC-HMX20C is its ability to capture high-definition video at 1080p resolution. This provides users with sharp and vibrant visuals, making it an excellent choice for recording special moments, events, or travel experiences with stunning clarity. Additionally, the camcorder employs a 1/4.1-inch CMOS sensor, which is designed to enhance low-light performance, allowing for more versatility in various shooting conditions.

The SC-HMX20C also includes advanced optical zoom capabilities. It features a 10x optical zoom lens, which enables users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality. This feature is particularly beneficial for capturing distant subjects in detail, whether you're filming a sporting event or wildlife in their natural habitat.

The camera also offers various modes such as face detection and image stabilization. The face detection feature automatically focuses on the subjects’ faces, ensuring that the most important parts of your recording remain sharp. Additionally, the image stabilization technology significantly reduces the shakiness often experienced in handheld shooting, resulting in smooth and professional-looking videos.
