Product Features

Resolution Quality	Standard Definition

Optical Zoom Ratio	15
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Media Format	HDD
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Digital Zoom Ratio	700
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Image Stabilisation	Yes
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Resolution (Pixels)	1280x920
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Manual Focus	Yes
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Battery Life in Hours	1.2
Battery life is important if you travel a lot. Long train journeys can be a pain if you don’t get more than 3 hours of life out of your laptop. It’s worth remembering that a lot of trains offer power sockets now so don’t be put off by a low battery life unless your lifestyle demands ultra portability.
Filter Diameter (mm) Lens 1	30.5
If you want to protect your camera or camcorder lens from getting scratched you will need a filter. A filter screws on to the front of the lens. The filter diameter is the distance across the lens.
Weight (g)	410
The weight of the product in grams.
Monitor Resolution (pixels)	112000

Screen Size in Inches	2.7
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
Hard Disk Capacity in GB	30
Hard Disk capacity is measured in GBs which stands for Gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 MB or megabytes. The more GB you have the more info like photos and music you can store.
HDMI	No
HDMI ports and cables carry High Definition signals between your TV and your Home Cinema System.
Dimensions (mm)	68x69x109
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
