8 Simple and Innovative Design
The new BD camcorder distinguishes itself from conventional camcorders with a smooth flowing, simple
and innovative design. The lens portion implemented a large aperture expressing its high quality, and the
round body is a motif of the BD. The left portion of the camcorder is UV coated to protect the body from
scratches and to maintain shine. The operation buttons promote ease of use with a cursor button next to
the LCD and an auto lens cover that activates with the power switch.
