    What 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 with the Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator.
    ≥Since the recording method is different from an ordinary DVD video etc., the data is not compatible.

    Before using
    1
    Handling of HDD (Hard disk 
    drive)
    The unit is equipped with the built-in 60 GB* HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount 
    of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following 
    points.
    * The usable HDD space is generally calculated as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of this 
    unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024k1,024k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes. 
    Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller.
    ∫Do not expose the HDD to 
    vibrations and shocks. 
    Due to the environment and handling conditions, 
    the HDD may be subject to partial damages or 
    may not be able to read, record, and play back 
    data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or 
    shock, and do not turn off the power during 
    recording or playback.
    If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, 
    such as a club or similar venue, the recording 
    may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording 
    data on an SD card is recommended in these 
    places.
    ∫Back up data periodically.
    The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid 
    erasing data due to static electricity, 
    electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, 
    back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l90, 
    100)
    ∫If the HDD experiences any 
    abnormality, back up data 
    immediately.
    Failure in the HDD may produce continuous 
    noise or choppy sound during recording or 
    playing back. Continuous use will cause further 
    deterioration, and may eventually disable the 
    HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy 
    the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc. 
    immediately and contact consumer support. 
    (l141, 142).
    Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be 
    restored.
    ∫Operation may stop in hot or cold 
    environments.
    If the surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold, 
    the unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.
    ∫Do not use the unit in low 
    atmospheric pressures.
    The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of 
    3000 m or higher above sea level.
    ∫Transportation
    When the unit is transported, turn off the power and be 
    careful not to shake, fall, or impact the unit.
    ∫Falling detection
    [ ] is indicated on the screen when it detects a 
    falling state (a weightless state). In that case, 
    HDD operation noise may be recorded. If the 
    falling state is detected repeatedly, the unit may 
    stop the recording or playback operation in order 
    to protect the HDD.
    ∫HDD access lamp [ACCESS HDD] A
    ≥The lamp illuminates while the HDD is being 
    accessed (initialization, recording, playback, 
    deleting etc.).
    ≥Do not perform the following operations when 
    the lamp illuminates. It may damage the HDD 
    or cause a malfunction in the unit.
    jOperate the mode dial
    jTurn the unit off
    jInsert and remove the USB cable
    jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock
    Indemnity about recorded content
    Panasonic does not accept any responsibility 
    for damages directly or indirectly due to any 
    type of problems that result in loss of 
    recording or edited content, and does not 
    guarantee any content if recording or editing 
    does not work properly. Likewise, the above 
    also applies in a case where any type of repair 
    is made to the unit (including any other non-
    HDD related component).
