Other devices compatible with AVCHD format that does not support High Profile
Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format
This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main Profile for MP4 format recording. For this
reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other
than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
You can play a high-definition image quality (HD) disc only on AVCHD format playback
devices. A DVD player or DVD recorder cannot play back a disc recorded in high-definition
image quality (HD) because they are not compatible with the AVCHD format. In addition, if
you insert a high-definition image quality (HD) disc recorded in AVCHD format into a DVD
player or DVD recorder, you may not be able to eject the disc.
Notes on the LCD screen and lens
The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99%
of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots
(white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording.
Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Be careful not to bump the movable lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.
Notes on the flash
When using the flash, the flash pops up automatically.
The flash may go down automatically.
