The 2.7” Clear Photo LCD™ touch-screen displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you 
compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best 
represent the scene.
Built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/charge
The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for charging 
or file transfer without having to remember separate cables.  It also fits conveniently into the 
hand strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever 
now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording 
time.
Intelligent Auto (60 different scene combinations possible)
Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and 
then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from nine distinct scene modes (60 different 
combinations possible): Portrait/Baby/Tripod/Backlight/Landscape /Spotlight/Twilight/Macro/Low 
light.
Tracking Focus follows selected subjects in/out of the frame
Tracking Focus works as an extension of Face Detection to allow you to select an object with a 
touch of the LCD and have the focus follow the selected object, even if it leaves the frame and 
returns.
Event Browse groups photos/videos for you for easy reference
Event Browse conveniently groups your images and videos together for easier viewing.  The date 
range that Event Browse groups your pictures and videos is easily adjusted to suit your needs.  
When used with the Highlight Playback feature, making and sharing a highlight reel from your 
event is easy and fun.
Highlight Playback creates movies with transitions for you
Why spend hours editing your movies when you can let your camcorder do it for you? Highlight 
Playback identifies and compiles key scenes into a short, entertaining movie complete with music 
and transitions. You can even pinpoint the exact scene you want to include in the highlight reel.

Store your memories in a whole new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder 
directly to an external hard disk drive

 (sold separately), all without a computer. Your camcorder

you to utilize the camcorder’s handy playback features.
