Superb Video Quality
The Q3 supports QuickTime (MOV) format. With MPEG-4
SP compression in VGA size (640 x 480 pixel) at 30
frames per second, you can record very smooth video
shots anywhere, anytime. Plus, integrated digital 2 times
zoom function enables you to get up close and personal.

viewing easy on the go. Its display also includes audio meters so you
can quickly set and monitor your levels as you shoot. Additional data
such as remaining recording time and remaining battery life are also
accessible, and its built-in monitor speaker enables you to check video
with audio right after shooting.
■
True Stereo Sound
The Q3 has two condenser mics
on-board, engineered in the same
X/Y pattern as the H4n Handy
Recorder that gives recording pros
the best stereo recording possible.
Arranged with the right and left
mics on the same axis, this design
ensures that the mics are always an
equal distance from the sound
source for perfect localization
without phase shifting. The result is a great sounding recording with
natural depth and highly accurate stereo imaging every time... all at the
touch of a button.
The Q3's X/Y microphones are
directional, so you can "focus" the
mics on your sound source. Use the
on-board audio meters to set the gain
to Low, High or Auto so you can
record in very loud or very soft
environments. Or use the Q3's Auto
Record Level function to automatically
set the appropriate recording levels for the situation! Shoot your video
with the confidence that the Q3 is capturing great audio at the
absolute best level possible.

Go Shoot Outside.
With an on-board low-cut filter to reduce background noise and an
included windscreen that prevents wind noise from being picked up by
the Q3ʼs highly sensitive microphones as a standard accessory, you
can make movies with incredible audio clarity, even outdoors.
With the Q3, all your videos will
sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio. Ideal for
shooting any kind of musical
performance from jazz to classical
to metal, solo to orchestral, the Q3
will make it fun and easy to shoot
your music videos anywhere,
anytime. The Q3 also makes it

your friends on YouTube. Simply

use HandyShare to cut your movie before you share it with the world.
