∫About the recording format for recording motion pictures

This unit can record motion pictures in either AVCHD or MP4 formats.

AVCHD:

This is a format for precise, high-definition video. This format is best used when the video will be displayed on a high-definition TV, or saved to a disc and watched on a computer.

MP4:

This is a simpler video format best used when extensive editing is needed, or when uploading videos to the internet.

Motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD] or [MP4] may be played back with poor picture or sound quality or playback may not be possible even when played back with equipment compatible with these formats. Also, the recording information may not be displayed properly. In this case, use this unit.
