Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its full auto mode, the user-friendly Sharp VL-A131U Hi8 camcorder enables you to simply point and shoot to capture hours of fun video memories. It also features a 3-inch LCD and 16x optical zoom magnification.

With its 270-degree variable angle, you can hold the VL-A131U in a variety of angles to record over people and objects or take to shots close to the ground. You can even record yourself by rotating the view screen 180 degrees. The VL-A131U also features several digital effects (black and white, sepia, NEG) that can be viewed without affecting the original recording.

Sharp's advanced circuitry allows recording down to less than 1 lux (the light of one candle about one yard away from the subject) and eliminates complex lighting arrangements and harsh floodlight glare. The backlight compensation feature also adjusts only the dark parts of a shot to optimal brightness levels, and leaves the bright sections untouched, so they don't become glaringly washed out.

This package comes with the VL-A131U camcorder, one rechargeable NiMH battery, one lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, remote control (and batteries), AV dubbing cables, wrist strap, and lens cap.
