USING YOUR CAMCORDER ABROAD

Each country or region has its own electric and color systems.

Before using your camcorder abroad, check the following items.

Power sources

In countries/regions where 1080/60p is supported, you can view the images with the same HD (high definition) image quality as that of the recorded images. You need an NTSC-system-based and 1080/60p compatible TV (or monitor) with an HDMI or Component cable connected.

Viewing videos recorded with SD (standard definition) image quality

To view images recorded with SD (standard definition) image quality, you need an NTSC-system-based TV with Audio/Video input jacks. A component cable or Multi-AV cable connected.

On TV color systems
