The UC-X40Hi was developed as a compact video camcorder with the emphasis on easy editing functions. Compactness was also enhanced with the use of a lithium-ion battery. Upgraded playback functions included forward/reverse single-frame playback, forward/reverse slow-motion playback and 2x playback. In addition, its powerful 22x optical zoom lens can deliver 44x zoom power when combined with the digital zoom.
