It’s an HD World.
With the Q3HD, it’s never been easier or more fun to shoot great
videos. Select 720p or 1080p for amazing clarity and detail no matter
where or what you’re shooting. It also includes two standard definition
(SD) formats for those times when a smaller file size is needed.
With a new lens and imaging sensor, the Q3HD captures exceptionally
clean video that is compressed with the high quality H.264 video codec.
It also has a larger aperture, which lets more light into your movies.
And with its 4x digital zoom, the
Q3HD gets you closer to the action.
Turn it sideways…
Zoom made on-the-go viewing better
than ever with the Q3HD. Simply turn the camera on its side and press
play. Watch your videos anywhere with its “widescreen” color LCD screen
and built-in reference speaker.

Bring up the lights.
With the Q3HD, you can choose among three different lighting
settings. This makes shooting video in challenging lighting conditions
easy. For most situations, choosing “Auto” will give you the best,
clearest results. You can also select “Concert Lighting”, which will
automatically adjust for rapid changes in stage lights and compensate
when the stage goes dark. Choose “Night” for maximizing any available
light in the lowest light conditions.
Sound makes the movie.

education, sports or travel, the Q3HD’s pristine audio is so realistic
your movies will transport you back to the moment, to relive over and
over again.

With two on-board, studio-quality condenser mics configured in a
wide 120° X/Y pattern, the Q3HD gives you true depth and stereo
imaging, making your movies sound as if they were recorded on a
Hollywood soundstage.
The Q3HD also displays audio meters, allowing you to quickly monitor
and set your levels. Set the gain to High or Low to record in soft or
loud environments. Or use the Q3HD’s Auto Level to automatically set
the right recording level for any given situation. And now with two
settings for Auto Level Gain Control, we’ve made it easy to get great
sound no matter what you're shooting. For outdoor shoots, we highly
recommend using a windscreen over the mics.
