The Vivitar DVR 850W is a handy digital video recorder that incorporates a lot of features making videography and photography an enjoyable experience. What really makes capturing videos and photos enjoyable are the clear and excellent images that come out of your camera. The DVR 850W is equipped to help you with this, both on land and underwater up to a depth of five meters.
This camera has four modes –video, camera, playback, and setup. Within each of these modes there are numerous adjustments that can be made to vary the operation of the camera.
In the video mode, you can adjust the resolution, white balance, exposure, and color effect of the images. When capturing still photos under the camera mode, you can also reset the same settings mentioned in the video mode, plus flash setup, self timer, and date stamp. The settings you need to set when viewing videos or still pictures on the camcorder, TV, or computer are accessible through the playback mode. In the setup mode, you can modify the operating format of the camcorder such as the auto power off option, buzzer, LCD screen brightness, TV output, date and time, and light frequency.
The image resolution of the DVR 850W is rated at eight megapixels giving a digital video resolution of 640×840 (VGA) and 320×240 (QVGA), and for still pictures, a maximum resolution of 3320×2490. Instead of a viewfinder, the camera has a 2.4-inch TFT LCD with an adjustable brightness that can improve visibility even under sunlight.
The internal memory of 128MB is understandably too small to store your videos and still photos, but this can be augmented by an SD memory card up to 8GB. Power is supplied by a lithium ion battery.
