Ok, thanks for the green light clarification.
Since the viewfinder on the HC-32 is black and white,
there's no color. So it's just a white circle for me.
That's my only complaint so far about the HC-32, is B&W viewfinder.
The HC-42 has a bit better CCD, and color viewfinder,
but only 10X optical zoom.
I like the 20X optical zoom on the HC-32.
It has 800X digital zoom, but that's pretty useless.
I turn off all the digital zooming.
