South Flaw
Life isn’t always easy for lefties like us. Sure, our south-pawed approach doesn’t affect our ability to walk or breath or sleep or do many other necessary day-to-day things. In fact, our lives go on mostly un-hindered.
But there are those little things that really get us. Like, taking guitar lessons; even the most seasoned right-handed teacher will be given pause by the alien, seemingly upside-down way that we hold our instrument. And then there’s eating in a booth; if you don’t think about the positioning before you sit down, you and your righty neighbor may end up enjoying a meal full of awkward nudges as you work your knives and forks in opposite directions.
So yes, we’re often overlooked and uncomfortable. But not always. Like with this Samsung SwitchGrip HD Camcorder, for example. Not only does it have all the trimmings of a fine camcorder – a 2.7” wide LCD screen, the ability to capture video in 1920 x 1080/60i HD, Optical Image Stabilization, etc. – but it also features SwitchGrip technology, which means you can hold it with your right or left hand.
Maybe Samsung CEO Lee Kun-hee is one of us, or maybe he just knows that he can win us over with nothing more than a modicum of convenience. But hey, whatever the reason, all that really matters is the acknowledgment, right?
Features
- SwitchGrip technology ensures that when filming the LCD screen adapts to how the camcorder body is being held. Whether you are left- or right-handed, shooting in difficult positions or combining recording film with other activities, you can always maintain perfect control over your video
- Featuring an intuitive and clearly visible record button, the HMX-Q10 offers the best and most convenient operating system on the market, as it eliminates the need to have many separate buttons and keys to control the camcorder
- Easy Operation via the 2.7” wide LCD screen allows the user to perform a variety of functions, including a pause function allowing you to stop and work out the best angle for your recording experience, the ability to turn the camcorder on and off, and playback mode so users can immediately review their footage
- Captures video in 1920 x 1080/60i HD, and includes an OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) Duo system to compensate for hand-shaking better than ever before, creating a stable, clear video every time—even when walking or moving around
- Its 10x Optical Zoom Schneider-KREUZNACH Varioplan-HD lens provides incredible close-up detail, and the Smart Optical Image Stabilizer guarantees rock-steady shooting
- Includes a 5MP BSI CMOS sensor, which records with twice the sensitivity of normal CMOS sensors, dramatically reducing noise and distortion while also enhancing recording quality in low-light conditions, so great quality video can be captured in any situation
- Upgraded version of Samsung’s Smart Auto scene recognition technology, which analyzes key elements of the composition of the footage such as brightness, motion, color and subject and then selects the most appropriate settings to produce the best results possible
- Samsung Record Pause technology has also been introduced, allowing the user to take brief pauses in filming before re-starting, so they don’t need to merge files when finished
- With the intuitive LCD touch screen, powered by the new Smart Access UI, users can record and review their videos easily and enjoyably
- Easy Manual Mode setting, you can access and calibrate the entire breadth of easy-to-use manual features (White Balance, Exposure Values, Backlighting, Self Timer, and C.Nite) through the intuitive interface
- Streamlined and compact body can easily be carried anywhere
