Allows zooming and recording using either the Laser Touch or standard zoom lever and REC button. Browsing through indexes and menu selection is easier than ever. Since you don't touch the LCD screen itself, you can keep the screen clean and fingerprint free.

Advanced Image Stabilizer Great improvement on New Everio is its anti shake performance. A new technology called Advanced Image Stabilizer expands the effective area at wide angle to 4 times that of 2009 models, delivering powerful compensation for camera shake. You can enjoy stable results even if you're trotting alongside your subject.

Super LoLux Low light performance is one of the key factors for quality video. New Everio's Super LoLux ensures superior sensitivity to low light. To provide this, High Definition models (selected) are equipped with a Back illuminated CMOS sensor that allows intake of more light while Standard Definition models offer a large 1/6" high sensitivity CCD. The result is clear images with precise colors even in low light. No worry while indoors or in dark situations.

Time Lapse REC Various unique shooting functions are equipped on New Everio. Time Lapse REC records one frame at a time at set intervals (1sec.–80sec.). So you can watch an hour long movement in just a short amount of time when played back. It's great when you want to observe an event that takes place over a long period of time, or to record unique looking scenes in a creative way.

Auto REC Another unique function is Auto REC. When a subject enters the detecting area and the luminance changes, recording starts automatically. Recording continues as long as there is movement within the area and automatically stops after 5 seconds of no movement. You can use it like a surveillance camera, or to observe something.
