GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMERA

Your dual camera can record video clips in Full High Definition*. It includes an operation mode that lets even novice shutterbugs record and play back without getting flustered, as well as software with which you can easily create your original DVDs.

Waterproof capability

The camera is equipped to safely be used in water at a temperature of less than 40 °C (104°F), at a depth of less than 3.0 m (9.84 ft.), for up to approximately 60 minutes. You can enjoy taking pictures at the beach or by the pool.
