New BenQ M22 Camcorder Launched in the Middle East

Dubai, UAE, 15 February 2011: BenQ, digital lifestyle provider and Red Dot award winner, has enhanced its camcorder line-up with the launch of the new pocket-size 1080p Full HD M22 camcorder.

Picture-enhancing advancements together with smart functionality and intuitive operation set the new BenQ M22 camcorder apart. With a host of features including: AF Lock; Face Exposure Tracking; Touch Exposure and EIS (Electronic Image Stabilizer), the M22 enables users to professionally record moments and events as they unfold.

“The new BenQ M22 is designed to be the perfect on-the-go accessory. Its convenient pocket-size together with the versatility of a dual power supply, which can be charged both through a power adaptor or USB cable, enables the BenQ to travel easily from important celebrations to day trips to long vacations,” said Manish Bakshi, General Manager of BenQ for the Middle East and Africa.

The BenQ M22’s AF lock is one of its most prominent features, ensuring captured videos are blur-free with utmost clarity and true-to-the-moment colors. This function is especially helpful when there are moving objects in the background or when lighting conditions are unstable. The AF lock keeps the focus set on the user’s desired subject whilst maintaining the chosen lighting mode.

Face exposure tracking and touch exposure tracking capabilities further complements the AF lock function, by automatically detecting faces and seamlessly adjusting the exposure to ensure faces are always rendered in detail and natural colors. While the touch exposure tracking feature allows users to make adjustments by allowing them to tap on the 3” touch screen to optimize exposure on the desired object.

Difficult lighting conditions can be managed with the night mode and backlight compensation features which support users when recording during the night or when a subject is dark due to a bright background light. The new camcorder will also appeal to aspiring filmmakers for its motion detection feature which will auto-start recording as soon as motion is detected.

The BenQ M22 is priced at AED 699.00 and will be available in the UAE from mid-February 2011. For more information, please visit http://www.benq.ae/
