Getting to Know Your Camera

Overview

The camera is equipped with a 5 Mega Pixel sensor that can take H.264 format videos. The H.264 
technology allows for extanded video recording with less memory. High quality images up to 16 mega-
pixels can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, you can view and examine the videos 
and photos easily. 
The  camera  features  3”  (16:9)  LCD  touch  panel  which  is  an  ideal  platform  for  you  to  operate  your 
camera. The menu options are accessible with your finger. With the touch panel, you can select the 
options directly and quickly.  
The camera also features video recording at an HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect it to 
an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the wide screen 
HDTV. 
Moreover, the CD included with the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive 

Vivitar Experience Image Manager

 application, you can upload videos and photos captured by the 

camera to online social network sites effortlessly .
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 23 x 
Optical zoom helps you to control over the videos and photos you take. 
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.
The built-in memory allows you to take photos and to record videos without a memory card. The memory 
card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.
