    Still Features
    The NSC-GC1captures stills up to 5MP (2592 x 1944), with additional resolutions of 3MP, 2MP, and VGA (640 x 480). The camcorder features a built-in flash that can be set to on, Slow Synchro, or off. In Slow Synchro mode, the shutter speed is automatically dropped for shooting in low light environments. When engaged, a histogram display is visible in the top right corner of the screen, displaying the exposure level. Though histograms are useful, the NSC-GC1 does not have exposure control in still mode. In this case, you are forced to find adequate natural lighting, or take a gamble with the Slow Synchro feature. The NSC-GC1 also offers a red-eye reduction setting and function guide.
