Introduction
The HF S21 is a dual flash-memory camcorder, with a 64GB internal flash drive
and
two
SD memory card slots, allowing for continuous “Relay Recording.” This
means a very extended record time is possible. As well as a viewfinder, it features
a sharp 3.5” LCD touch screen where all menu selections and functions can be
adjusted.
Features like Touch & Track allow you to achieve sharp focus and precise exposure
for any subject, simply by touching the image of the subject on the LCD screen.
The camcorder has a max. resolution of 1920x1080 and can shoot multiple frame
rates including 60i, 30p, & 24p. The lens has a focal length of 6.4mm – 64mm and
a 4X optical zoom with a 200X digital zoom.
The touch screen menus allow users to setup manual focus, aperture, exposure,
and many other features. A user-assignable knob (see item 7 on page 2) allows
for manual adjustment of focus, exposure, mic level, and aperture.

Note:
The camera has physical buttons
and
touch screen buttons. In the following notes,
words in brackets
[SAMPLE BUTTON]
refer to these buttons; the text indicates
whether you would “press” a physical button, or “touch” a button on the screen.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
