Hello! I’m Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. Let’s talk about consumer camcorders. What about remote controls are they useful? Well, they’re great if you want to get into the picture. For instance, I can say get me closer, send it back, I can start and stop it. Also the display, take it oh you can’t see that here, let me get you a little closer then. Ah! The convenience, potato couch videography yes! The display here has a mirror mode that as you flip it, it will in fact flip around here to the other direction. So if I go ahead and look at myself on the display it’s corrected in flips and then I can turn it back. You can also take the display and fold it back into the side of the camera here, so it’s all the way where you can still see it. It is a very useful tool. That’s the way for you to get into the action though, we’ll just kind of flow back out here, compose your shot. Whenever you have the photo mode I can hit photo now “hey! How are you doing? I am good.” Here’s the sound but it locks the picture.
