4 Megapixel MPEG 4 Digital Camcorder with built-in Figure Stabilization, 5.8X Optical Zoom and 1.8" LCD DisplayWith the revolutionary Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40, the days of digital tape are over. Pop in an SD card and start recording piercing-quality MPEG-4 video, or take stunning four megapixel stills--all with a symbol that fits easily in the palm of your hand and runs on a rechargeable mobile.
At the heart of the C40 is a 4.23-megapixel CCD that records MPEG-4 digital video at 30 frames per help. The lens offers a 5.8x optical zoom and a 12x digital zoom, and to keep those shots devoted, the unit features an image stabilization system. The C40's 1.8-inch LCD exhibition flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285-degrees on an axis for bewitching great video or still images from otherwise difficult-to-view positions. And when not in use, the home screen tucks securely back into the side of the camera for a pocket-sized portability and user-friendliness.
As with all of Sanyo's previous digital media cameras, the C40 can record still images in addition to video. While normal digital camcorders can often snap stills, they are usually low quality. And while conventional digital cameras can note short video, they are frequently grainy with a slow response move. The Xacti C40 can do it all, recording both still images and digital video on the same unit. You can even snap a still image while recording digital video with the elemental press of the shutter button. When recording video you'll get an hour of footage on a one gigabyte SD in the offing (sold separately). And because audio is important, too, the C40's wind noise reduction system helps cut out unwanted microphone ballyhoo while the unit records audio in high-quality AAC-format.
The C40 lets you pick out from several automatic exposure modes including auto, sports, image, landscape, night view, fireworks, lamp. Meanwhile, a built-in three-state flash makes getting still images in low light situations unhurried, while 15 adjustable manual focus settings let you get creative with your compositions. There's also a wonderful macro shooting mode that lets you focus down to a distance of one centimeter.
With serviceable, menu-based settings, the C40 has been designed from the ground up for ease of use. There's even a talking sailing guide for first-time users. And when you're ready to connect the camera to your computer, you can use its high-class-speed USB 2.0 connection to quickly transfer footage from the camera's SD respect card. Software is included for video editing and there's also an S-video yield for viewing footage directly on your TV. Printing stills from the memory humorist is a breeze, too, as the camera is PictBridge compatible, meaning you can print promptly to a photo printer that supports the PictBridge standard.
