FEATURES
Your Optimus Model 130 MovieCorder cam-
corder combines all the features of a video
camera and a portable VCR in one lightweight
package. Using standard VHS cassettes, you
can record and play back home movies any-
where. The low-light (1 lux) CCD imager
makes special lighting unnecessary in most
situations.
You can also use the camcorder as a VCR to
play back a tape or copy to a VCR.
This camcorder has many special features
that make operation simple, convenient, and
versatile. Be sure to read this manual carefully
and completely so you can understand and
enjoy all of your camcorder’s features.
