 FAQs 1.
Q1. What is the advantage of the flash memory used
in Samsung camcorders?
A1. The flash memory used in Samsung camcorders
provides you with the power and flexibility you'd
expect from a Samsung camcorder. First, the
high-speed flash memory allows you to start
shooting video in a mere three seconds with its
Quick Start function. The flash memory enables
the camcorder to transfer data at a high speed

does not contain any moving parts, making it
durable and resistant to the wear-and-tear of
frequent use. This reduces the chance of losing
precious moments from an accident. Finally, the
small size of the powerful flash memory is the key
to the camcorder's light-weight, compact design,
