Enjoying High-Definition Video with your Camcorder What are the advantages of a hard disk? Your videos and photos are recorded on the built-in hard disk or commercially available SD/SDHC memory cards2 using AVCHD specifications3. This Double Media recording system gives you longer recording times for more high-definition videos and photos. • You can shoot approximately 11 hours ( 120 GB HDD) or 5.5 hours ( 60 GB HDD) of video in MXP mode, which offers the highest video quality under AVCHD specifications. • The camcorder records video and photos in unused space on the recording media so you need not worry about accidentally recording over important videos. • You can immediately access the scenes you want to play back from an index menu. • You can easily manage your video and photo collections with the supplied editing software: ImageMixer 3 (movies) and DIGITAL VIDEO Solution Disk (photos). Can I play back my high-definition video on other devices? Needless to say, you can connect your camcorder to an HDTV to enjoy your recordings with family and friends ( 81). You also have the following options: • You can easily play back video recorded on the memory card by inserting the memory card directly into AVCHD-compatible TV sets and HDD or DVD recorders that feature an SD/SDHC memory card slot4. For details, refer to the instruction manual of your TV or digital video recorder. • You can play back AVCHD discs of your recordings created using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner ( 82) on the DVD Burner itself or on AVCHD-compatible DVD players or Blu-ray Disc players5. 2 For details about memory cards that can be used with this camcorder refer to Using a Memory Card ( 31). 3 AVCHD is the new standard for recording high-definition video. With AVCHD specifications the video signal is recorded using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression and the audio signal is recorded in Dolby Digital. 4 Depending on the device used, correct playback may not be possible even if the device is AVCHD-compatible. In such case, play back the recordings on the memory card using the camcorder. 5 Discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be played back on other devices (as of June 2008). Use the DVD Burner to play back such discs ( 82). 7
