stunning detail and clarity with exceptional
video (1080 lines of resolution - HD Mode or

as many (1.8x) viewable colors than
currently possible. This provides a more
accurate and vivid color range, for a more
natural, lifelike overall experience.
DVD Format Video Recording
The DVD recording format, in both MPEG2
(SD) and AVCHD delivers digital picture
and sound quality comparable to that of
MiniDV and High Definition, but on DVD.
Playback of these DVDs couldn't be simpler
(depending upon the playback
device used). After finalizing the disc in the
camcorder, the disc can play back in most
DVD Players (SD), computers, Blu-Ray Disc™
players and even PlayStation® 3 video
game consoles.
