Best for night time recording
With the built-in LED torch and Night Mode function, the M23 is capable of clearly capturing video images at night. The night mode is designed to automatically set the right settings in low light situations, while the LED torch brightens subjects and can light up objects within 1 meter. It can illuminate any area, resulting in clear images in the dimmest of backgrounds.
5x, portable 1080p FHD
The M23 is packed with a 5x optical zoom, a 5MP CMOS sensor as well as a 3”touch screen display, and is also portable enough to shoot 1080p FHD video.
Touch exposure
When recording video, simply touch the portion of the scene that needs adjusting. The M23 automatically will set the level.
Dual SD card slots
No more worries about running out of storage. For extra storage capacity and added flexibility, the M23 includes not just one but two SD card slots: one for general SD cards, the other for micro SD cards in cell phones. If one SD card is full, no problem. The M23 will automatically switch to the other one, doubling your capacity, doubling your fun.
Motion detection
Even if you were late in pushing the record button, the motion detection feature automatically initiates filming as soon as the subject moves.
