The videocam actually uses 2 x AA battery to operate. This can be a good point as you can easily pop into any 7-11 stores to refill your pack when you run out of power. The speakers are actually located slightly above the battery house.

At the front is where you can locate the lens. Directly underneath the lens is the flash and the infra red port where it communicates with the remote controller I mentioned earlier. More on this in a bit.

The Microphone and Macro switches are loacted here. Turning the lens from left to right will switch the mode from Macro to Portrait to Normal mode.

Enough of talk about the looks. Let’s start exploring this videocam.
Installation of the videocam was a breeze as it uses USB. Just hook one side of the USB cable to the videocam and the other end of the cable to your computer or laptop. Most computers will be able to recognize the camera automatically. Drivers are provided in the CD if you have problems using the default drivers in Windows Operating System driver database.
One can easily retrieve videos, pictures or MP3s directly without the need to for additional software since it is recognized as an internal drive. The folders are easily identified with titles such as My Computer\Removable Disk0MOVIE or Computer\Removable Disk\MP3, etc.
