SPECIAL FEATURES

Your movie camera can not only record video clips, you can also take still photos and make audio recordings. For example, you can snap a still image while recording a video clip, or make just an audio recording.

Waterproof capability

The camera is equipped to safely be used in water at a temperature of less than 40 C (104F), at a depth of less than 1.5 m (59 in.), for up to approximately 60 minutes. You can enjoy taking pictures at the beach or by the pool.
SPECIAL FEATURES Movable monitor for any shooting angle
The movable monitor lets you shoot from any angle. Hold the camera high to get a great view of a parade, or swivel the monitor around to snap a photo of yourself.
If you swivel the monitor unit to its farthest position, the image on the monitor will be inverted.
Capture still shots while recording a video clip (page 52)
Suppose that while youre recording a video clip, theres a scene youd like to keep as a still photo. Your camera makes it possible to record the still photo without interrupting the video clip recording.
Easy to shoot vertically oriented photos (page 68)
A grip-type camera is compact and very easy to hold securely, but trying to take vertically oriented photos by changing the camera angle is a problem. However, your camera features a vertical shooting mode that allows you to take vertical (portrait) mode still images without having to change the camera angle.
