What is so special about recording on flash memory?

Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory or on a memory card (SD or SDHC card2) 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 ( 37) you can open the LCD panel and start recording within approximately one second.

If your high-definition TV features an SD memory card slot and supports AVCHD specifications, you can easily play back your high-definition recordings directly from the

memory card ( 39). Refer to the TV's instruction manual for more details.4

What is Cinema Mode?

Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ CINE MODE] recording program

(	45). Combine this recording program with the 24 fps progressive frame rate
[		PF24] to get the enhanced effect of the 24p Cinema Mode.

4Discs created with the optional DW-100 DVD Burner that contain recordings in MXP mode cannot be played back on AVCHD-compatible devices. Use the DW-100 to play back such

discs ( 86).
