Full HD is real HD (1920 x 1080)
The VP-HMX20C takes video at the highest digital visual resolution available today, 1920 x 1080 Full HD. 1920 x 1080 Full HD video means much more visual information, much greater clarity, brightness and detail than ever before. It also means that your video will be an exact pixel-by-pixel match for today’s very best large screen HD TVs. The result is life-like video with more natural colour and clarity, without the blurring or digital noise you might well be used to.
high-speed capture for slow-motion detail
With the high-speed capture feature, the VP-HMX20C also lets you take up to 10 seconds of video at an astonishing 250 frames per second (fps), giving you ultra-detailed, crystal clear slow motion playback, useful for analysing a golf swing, dance movement, or any other motion that is too fast for the human eye to discern.
quick start helps you catch the moment!
Never miss another one of life's precious moments with the Quick Start capability. The VP-HMX20C is ready to shoot when you are; just turn it on and go. It doesn't get any easier-or faster-than that! With SAMSUNG's powerful, built-in flash memory you no longer need to waste your time waiting for your camcorder to boot up, read a disk or load a tape. Our new line of camcorders will be ready to shoot in 3 seconds or less-that’s 4x faster than a standard DVD camcorder! And with that kind of speed, you won’t miss another precious moment.
multi-functional Docking Cradle
The cradle allows you to recharge the camcorder, use the built-in USB port, and connect to additional AV devices via HDMI-all conveniently at the same time!
8-megapixel stills for large format photos
SAMSUNG’s Pixel-Rising technology utilises a pixel-interpolation filter to convert recorded stills to the equivalent of 8-megapixels, enabling large format (27.94 x 43.18cm (11 x 17)) detailed prints of your images. This same technology allows you to enlarge part of an image while retaining extraordinary detail.
a wider, brighter F1.8 lens
The VP-HMX20C’s wide F1.8 aperture 10x Optical Zoom lens let’s more light through to the sensor, giving you rich, bright, detailed images that accurately reflect what you see with the naked eye. The high performance HD lens is manufactured to extremely exacting standards to ensure minimal image distortion and astigmatic aberration, resulting in the most natural, accurate, compelling video and stills available from a camcorder today.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)
The VP-HMX20C supports a multitude of video connections used by HD TVs: HDMI, Component, S-Video and Composite. Plus, with SAMSUNG’s Anynet+ technology you can control your VP-HMX20C using the HD TV remote! Just connect your VP-HMX20C to an HDTV with HDMI-CEC via an HDMI cable. No need for multiple remotes controls!
