Select between HD video in the AVCHD or MP4 format for highest quality or easy transfer and
sharing. AVCHD provides premium video that can be enjoyed on large screen HDTVs, and is ideal
for capturing precious memories at special occasions, family vacations and other moments you
want to treasure for a lifetime. MP4 is great for those moments that you want to quickly share on
your social networks or store on the cloud. MP4 produces smaller files optimized for web viewing
and makes wireless transfer a breeze (on select Handycam camcorder’s with Wi-Fi feature and
optional accessory ADP-WL1M).

microphone, giving you a clearer and more enjoyable sound experience.
