key features of your HD camcorder

The HD camcorder is capable of recording and playing back both Full HD (high definition: 1920x1080) and Standard Definition (SD) image quality. Select the recording image quality, Full HD (high definition) or SD (standard definition), before recording.

ENJOYING IMAGES WITH FULL HIGH DEFINITION (HD) QUALITY

You can view recorded movies with Full HD (high definition) image quality.

This HD camcorder offers 1080i resolution with a sharper image than previous SD camcorders (576i). It also supports widescreen recording with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Recordings made in Full HD (high definition) image quality will fit widescreen (16:9) HDTVs.

If your TV is not a high definition TV, movies with HD (high definition) image quality will be displayed with SD (standard definition) image quality.

-To enjoy Full HD-quality images, you need a TV supporting 1920x1080i input. (Refer to your TV user manual.)

-To enjoy HD-quality images, use an HDMI or Component cable.

The multi-AV cable does not support HD-quality images so it down-converts them to SD-quality images.

The image is recorded in 720x576p when the quality is set to SD in the HD camcorder.

Movies recorded at SD (standard definition) image quality cannot be converted to HD (high definition).
