Maintenance and precautions
What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition
digital video camera format used to record
an HD (high definition) signal of either the
1080i specification
*
1
or the 720p
specification
*
2
, using efficient data
compression coding technology. The
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital
or Linear PCM system is used to compress
audio data.
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable
of compressing images at higher efficiency
than that of the conventional image
compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format enables a high definition
video signal shot on a digital video camera
recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs,
internal hard disk drive, flash memory,
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, etc.
Recording and playback on your
camcorder
Based on the AVCHD format, your
camcorder records with the HD (high
definition) image quality mentioned below.
In addition to HD (high definition) image
quality, your camcorder is capable of

“Memory Stick” media is a compact,
portable IC recording medium with a large
data capacity.
You can use only “Memory Stick Duo”
media, which is about the half size of
standard “Memory Stick” media, with your
camcorder.
However, we do not guarantee the
operation of all types of “Memory Stick
Duo” media on your camcorder.
• This product cannot record or play data that uses
“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a
copyright protection technology that records and
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.
• “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media formatted by
a computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not
have guaranteed compatibility with your
camcorder.
• Data read/write speed may vary depending on
the combination of the “Memory Stick PRO
Duo” media and the “Memory Stick PRO Duo”
media compliant product you use.
