Page 5 of 5 Ease Of Use The best part of this digital takeover is how it has simplified the process. From capturing video to editing it on your computer, creating quality videos has become incredibly accessible to just about anyone. The term “point-and-shoot” usually is used to describe consumer digital cameras that are easy to turn on and use immediately. The same term can be rightfully applied to this new collection of compact, intuitive camcorders. Fully automated controls allow you to start using the camcorder right out of the box, without any prior experience. Preprogrammed modes for sports, nighttime and other specific shooting situations choose the most appropriate settings for these conditions. If you’re experienced or prefer to control the settings yourself, on the other hand, there’s also the option on most models to manually adjust things such as focus, exposure and white balance. High-speed interfaces make transferring the video to your computer easy. FireWire (IEEE 1394, i.LINK) is the norm in the majority of digital camcorders, except the DVD format, which uses a USB 2.0 connection. In that case, you’ll most likely transfer the data directly from the disc, a much faster and simpler process. There’s a variety of affordable and easy-to-learn software programs that let you edit your video, add transitions, music, titles and other special effects, then burn the result onto DVDs to share with friends and family. Now that you’re familiar with some of the specifics of digital camcorders, you’re ready to confidently create beautiful videos for personal or professional use with greater ease and at an affordable price. It doesn’t happen often, but isn’t it great when you can spend less and get more? Thanks to the constant advances made in digital camcorder technology, we now have that opportunity.
