- 2.0″ Detachable LCD Screen Unit
- The 2.0″ LCD screen can be rotated to be viewed from a variety of angles. When the screen is positioned to face the front of the camera, the image rotates so it is right side up. This is useful when recording videos of yourself playing. The LCD screen unit can also be detached, making the camcorder even more compact.

The recorder can simultaneously transmit video of up to 720p and 48kHz/16-bit quality PCM audio to the computer. If the streaming application does not have a lip sync function, you can use the volume +/- keys to set the audio delay time so that it matches the timing of the video.
- Lighting Settings
- Choose among three different lighting settings. For most situations, choosing “Auto” will give you the best, clearest results, as it adjusts lighting conditions automatically.
