World Timer
Easy time setting – Both on the road and at home
With the SW20 and S7, setting the time is as easy as selecting a city from 
the displayed map. The World Timer function lets you set the time for 
two cities, home and destination. You don't have to fi gure out the time 
difference at your destination, and it's easy when you get home. 
*The camera must be aimed at the subject in advance.
This clever function records three seconds of 
images even before you actually begin shooting. 
The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory, 
before recording onto the SDHC/SD Memory Card begins. This helps 
ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to record, such 
as when an event begins all of a sudden.

Get active in your video shooting
A water-resistant design lets you use this camera 
when it's rainy or snowy outside, or in places where 
you might get a little wet. The camera is even 
designed so you can hold and operate it when your 
hand is wet. This is a camera you can use in places – 
like alongside a pool or outside a ski lodge – where 
you never dared take a video camera before.
