Other Features (3.0)

iCHECK - Remaining battery life can be monitored by pressing and holding the iCHECK button located in the LCD cavity. A black screen with blue text and a green battery meter will appear, displaying the remaining percentage of battery life, record mode, and remaining record time.

Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) - This feature allows you to operate the SC-MHX10 with certain Samsung universal remotes controls.

Digital Effect - If you don’t plan on throwing your footage into an NLE for the ultimate video effects, the Samsung has provided some classics: Black and White, Sepia, Negative, and Art.

Fader - To start off scenes with a mysterious tone, use the Fader effect to eerily or romantically fade into the action.

LED Light - We’ve seen penlights with more juice. The LED light is pain to get to as well, nestled deep within the Administrative menu.
