Features of the High Definition Video Camera
This unit is an AVCHD format video camera for recording highly detailed high definition images to an 
8cm (3z) DVD disc.
You can watch images in high-resolution HD video if you connect this unit and a high definition TV and 
then play back the images. (l90)
AHigh Definition images (1440k1080):Number of available scan lines 1080
BStandard images until now (720k480):Number of available scan lines 480
High definition images
≥High definition images have more than approximately 2 times the number of available scan lines and 
more than 4 times the number of pixels compared with standard images.
≥The still pictures above are images for explanation purposes.
ªWhat is the AVCHD?
This is a format for recording and playing back highly detailed high definition images.
Images are recorded based on the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec for compressing images and audio is 
recorded in Dolby Digital. It is compatible with various discs such as DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R and 
DVD-R DL.
About the compatibility of discs recorded on this unit (Be careful about the following)
≥They are not compatible with devices other than those that support the AVCHD. (Refer to the 
operating instructions of the device for details.)
≥There are some cases where the recorded motion pictures cannot be played back, even if the device 
supports the AVCHD. In such cases, play the recorded motion picture with this unit instead. 
≥Do not insert them into devices that are not compatible (DVD players, computers, etc. that do not 
support the AVCHD) as they will not be played back.
≥A format message may appear when you insert a disc into a device that is not compatible. (If you 
accidentally format the disc, the pictures you recorded will all be deleted.)
≥We recommend setting [AUTO PROTECT] to 
[ON] (l88) to prevent important scenes being 
deleted by mistake. (This function’s default 
setting is [ON].)
Existing DVD recorders, DVD players, 
computers, etc. that do not support the 
AVCHD.
Very clear high definition pictures
Important Notice
Do not insert discs which have been recorded in AVCHD format into devices which do not 
support the AVCHD format. In some cases the disc may get stuck in the device. The disc will 
not play back on devices that do not support the AVCHD format.
