are no moving parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a camcorder
that is smaller, lighter and faster. In fact, using the Quick Start function ( 34) you can
open the LCD panel and start recording within approximately one second.

memory card ( 36). Refer to the TV's instruction manual for more details.
