1. Getting to Know Your Camera

1.1 Overview

The camera is equipped a 5 Mega Pixel sensor that can take H.264 format videos. The H.264 technology 

allows for extended video recording with less memory. High quality images up to 16 mega-pixels can 

also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, you can view and examine the videos and photos 
easily. 

The 3” LCD touch panel is an ideal platform for you to operate your 

camera. The menu options are 

accessible with your finger tip. With the touch panel, you can select the options directly and quickly.  
The camera also features video recording at an HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect it to 
an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the wide screen 

HDTV. 

Moreover, the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in 

Internet Direct

 

application, you can upload the videos captured by the camera to web sites more effortlessly .
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 16x digital 
zoom helps you control the videos and photos you take. 
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.

The built-in memory allows you to take photos and to record videos without a memory card. The memory 

card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity. 

  Note

Part of the built-in memory is used for the camera’s Firmware code
