0º, 90º, 180º - Enjoy a greater degree of flexibility with Switch Grip II
Switch Grip II
One thing lefties and righties can agree on is that the streamlined and compact QF20 / Q20 with Switch Grip II was made for both. Because no matter in which hand it’s held, the camcorder’s LCD screen will adjust to ensure that the picture is shown right-side up. More comfortable shooting while holding the camcorder vertically? Good news: you can rotate the screen 90º, and the image will remain right-side up. Shooting video from difficult positions has never been easier.
Instant Sharing & Saving, simply
Wi-Fi Connectivity
With built-in Wi-Fi capability, you can share any special and exciting videos on the move. Send videos by uploading to Facebook™, Picasa™, Photobucket™ or email directly from the camcorder. You can also upload them to YouTube™ then sit back and wait for the rave reviews. The QF20 also lets you upload to online cloud services so never worried about losing your videos while on the go or running out of memory. The TV Link feature allows you to wirelessly display videos on a Wi-Fi TV screen. You can also save them to your PC with just one click using the Auto Backup feature. No more searching for the cable – it’s that easy.
*Only available for the QF20
