Flexible LCD View Screen and Color
Viewfinder
The bright 2.5” LCD view screen makes it easy to compose
sensational shots without having to squint into the viewfinder. You
can rotate the screen for high- or
low-angle shots, or turn it around
180
°
to record yourself. When you’re
done shooting, the screen is perfect
for reviewing your scenes.

Night Mode and Super Night Mode
Even when the light has faded, you can keep on shooting with the
OPTURA 300’s Night and Super Night mode. The camcorder
uses the Night mode to select the ideal shutter speed and
sensitivity combination to brighten up the scene, without
sacrificing color. In the Super Night mode, the assist lamp lights
up to illuminate the subject allowing you to capture the action
without turning the lights on.
16:9 Widescreen Mode
You can record high-resolution videos in the 16:9 format for
widescreen TVs.
Digital Effects
Show your creativity by using the special effects and digital
faders available with the OPTURA 300. A wide selection of faders
and special effects will add visual appeal and greater imaging
variety.

StitchAssist
By using the StitchAssist Mode, you can create magnificent
panoramas. Shoot your landscape, and transfer them to your
computer. Then simply select and arrange your images in the
correct order, and the supplied PhotoStitch software does the
rest, aligning, overlapping and cropping the separate images to
form one ultra-wide panoramic still image.
Program Auto Exposure
While the Easy Recording mode is fine for most shooting
situations, the camcorder also includes additional pre-
programmed auto exposure modes (Auto, Sports, Portrait,
Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low Light, Night and Super Night mode),
each carefully designed to give you the best possible image
results under special shooting conditions.
My Camera Function

and the sound it makes for start-up, shutter, self-timer and other
operations. Choose a start-up image from the included software
CD.
