*1 “Exif” is a file format for still images, established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). Files in this format can have additional information such as your camcorder’s setting information at the time of recording.

*2The unique pixel array of Sony’s ClearVid CMOS Sensor and image processing system (new Enhanced Imaging Processor) allows for still image resolution equivalent to twice that of the image sensor’s effective pixel count.

*3 The focal length figures are actual figures resulting from wide angle pixel read-out.
