AVCHD Lite
This is a data format suitable for playback on high-definition TVs.
This format enables an extended recording time in high-resolution
compared to motion pictures recorded in Motion JPEG at the
same picture size.
MOTION JPEG
This is a data format suitable for playback on computers that
allows even small picture sizes to be recorded. The data format is
useful when there is little space left on a memory card or when the
motion picture file will be attached to an e-mail from a computer.
The ‘REC QUALITY’ options vary based on the setting.
If a card is not loaded in the camera, the motion picture is automatically recorded in
‘MOTION JPEG’ (REC QUALITY: QVGA).
Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ can be played back in AVCHD-compliant
equipment only. Playback is not possible in equipment that does not support the
AVCHD standard (such as conventional DVD recorders), and so check the compatibility
in your equipment’s operation manual.
Please confirm the detailed information on the following website.

Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format cannot be played back on non-
AVCHD-compatible devices (standard DVD players, etc).
In some cases, motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ and ‘MOTION JPEG’ may have
poor image quality or sound quality during playback or may not be able to be played back
even when using equipment supporting these standards. The recording information also may
not be displayed correctly. If this happens, play the motion pictures back using the camera.
Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ are not compliant with DCF and Exif, and so some
information (such as the picture number and white balance) are not displayed during playback.
Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’ or above is recommended for recording motion
pictures.
The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.
Using a high-speed card with a specified speed (e.g. on packaging) of at least 10 MB/s
is recommended when ‘REC QUALITY’ is set to ‘HD’, ‘W V GA’, or ‘VGA’.
Motion pictures cannot be recorded to MultiMediaCards.
To play back motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format using a computer, please
use the ‘PHOTOfunSTUDIO’ software on the CD-ROM supplied.
