What are the advantages of flash memory? Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory ( only) or on commercially available SD/SDHC memory cards2 using AVCHD specifications3. Recording on flash memory means that there are no moving parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a camcorder that is smaller, lighter and faster. In fact, using the Quick Start function ( 48) you can open the LCD panel and start recording within approximately one second. Any New Functions? Pre-recording When pre-recording ( 68) is activated, the camcorder starts recording video continuously into a temporary 3-second memory. When you press the START/STOP button, the scene recorded will have started 3 seconds before you started shooting. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording. Face Detection With face detection ( 72), have the camcorder automatically detect people's faces and use this information to adjust the focus and set the best exposure for beautiful videos and photos. Video Snapshot Discover a new fun way to shoot video with video snapshot scenes ( 66). Shoot short (approx. 4-second) scenes and arrange them into a video clip set to your favorite background music. Cinema Mode Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ Cine Mode] recording program ( 65) with the 24 fps progressive frame rate. 2 For details about memory cards that can be used with this camcorder refer to Using a Memory Card ( 41). 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. 9
