: Provides full control over all settings, including shutter speed, aperture, and gain.

The camcorder offers a variety of manual and automatic modes accessible via the power/mode dial:

: Employs a technique that shifts the green CCD to maximize resolution (achieving quality comparable to 410,000-pixel systems) and improves dynamic range for better performance in low light.

: Utilizes three separate 1/3-inch CCD sensors (one for each primary color: Red, Green, and Blue) to provide superior color reproduction and image detail compared to single-chip models.

: Allows you to manually set the focus/aperture while the camera manages shutter speed.
