Motion pictures recorded with this camera can be dubbed onto DVD or video cassette 
with a DVD or video recorder. This method is useful as it allows dubbing to be performed 
even with devices that are not compatible with high definition (AVCHD) images. Picture 
quality will be reduced from high definition to standard definition.

•  To stop recording (dubbing), first stop the 
recording on your recorder, before stopping the 
playback on the camera.
  Do not use any other AV cables except the supplied one. When using a TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, always change the camera’s ‘TV ASPECT’ 
setting (P.25) to ‘4:3’ before dubbing. Motion pictures copied in the ’16:9’ setting will 
appear vertically stretched when viewed on a 4:3 TV screen.
 Pressing the camera’s ‘DISPLAY’ button and turning the LCD display off is 
recommended during dubbing operations. (P.42)
 For details on dubbing and playback methods, refer to your recorder’s operating instructions.
