using the hybrid as positive

UX20an example is the use of, on the spotDVDtaking advantage of the features that you can dub to disk, i considered such as the following example.

  • the image you want to use, such as shooting at partyDVDthe dubbing, to be distributed to the participants.
  • the image you want to use shooting in the country during the homecomingDVDthe dubbing, grandpa before returning, grandma passed to the.
  • recital, such as video lecturesDVDthe dubbing, immediately used as a material.
  • who met at the trip destinationto, dubbing in commemorationDVDcome to present the.

i considered various etc., in essence, disk that you can pass a dubbing on the fly without the time lag, what is not up to the point that there is a benefit of being able to share the images at the same time.

would normally, the dubbing and editing from home from home for travel and, and distribution/it would make that procedure sending, tends to postpone work with is absolutely.

but, dubbing on the fly if you can, because it can share a record of the impression on the spot was moved, it can use either of these, the benefits of what is a hybrid because.

also, because it corresponds to the external memory stick, when a friend has a digital camera memory stick type, for example, you can also raise a record high-definition video in full-there. simply, why can not dub from the built-in memory to external memory is a pity.

was revived speaking

if there is a viewfinder, kind of peace of mind

simply, a troublesome is because it must pulled ichiichi, if you notice, without looking at the viewfinder, i found myself looking at the monitor panel are shooting ·.
