∫About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
The picture quality or sound quality of recorded  motion pictures may be deteriorated even 
when they are played back with the compatible devices. Also, recording information may 
not be displayed correctly. Use this unit to playback in such case.
•
If you want to use another device to play back motion pictures recorded in [FHD/60p], [FHD/
30p], [FHD/24p] of [AVCHD] or if you want to tr ansfer them to the device, a PC installed with 
“ PHOTOfunSTUDIO ” or a compatible Blu-ray disc recorder is required.
•If you want to use another device to play back or edit motion pictures recorded in [MOV], a 
high-performance PC environment or a PC installed with “ PHOTOfunSTUDIO ” is required.
•Please check the following website about the compatible devices for details.

•“ALL-Intra” refers to a data compression method in which each frame is compressed. The file 
size of motion pictures recorded in this method becomes larger, but this method can prevent 
the loss of image quality because editing does not require re-encoding.
•What is bit rate
This is the volume of data for a definite period of time, and the quality becomes higher when the 
number gets bigger. This unit is using the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation for 
“Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period of time) is changed 
automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened 
when a subject with fast movement is recorded.
