What are the advantages of flash memory?
Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory (
only) or
on commercially available SD/SDHC memory cards
2
using AVCHD
specifications

. Recording on flash memory means that there are no moving
parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a camcorder
that is smaller, lighter and faster. In fact, using the Quick Start function
(
44) you can open the LCD panel and start recording within
approximately one second.
Any New Functions?
Pre-recording
When pre-recording (
64) is activated, the camcorder
starts recording video continuously into a temporary 3-second memory.
When you press the
button, the scene recorded will have
started 3 seconds before you started shooting. This is especially useful
when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
Face Detection
With face detection (
68), have the camcorder
automatically detect people's faces and use this information to adjust the
focus and set the best exposure for beautiful videos and photos.
Video Snapshot
Discover a new fun way to shoot video with video
snapshot scenes (
62). Shoot short (approx. 4-second) scenes and
arrange them into a video clip set to your favorite background music.
Cinema Mode
Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the
[
Cine Mode] recording program (
61) with the
25 fps progressive
frame rate.
