Maintenance and precautions
Recording and playback on the
camcorder
Your camcorder can record 4K (QFHD)
and HD (high definition) based on the
XAVC S format.
This uses a Long-GOP video compression
format for recording.
Video signal*: MPEG-4AVC/H.264
3840×2160/25p, 1920×1080/50p,
1920×1080/25p
Audio signal: LPCM 2 ch
Recording media: Memory card
* The camcorder is not able to play back data that
is recorded in XAVC S format using settings
other than those described above.
Recording and playback on the
camcorder
Based on the AVCHD format, your
camcorder records with the HD (high
definition) image quality.
Video signal*: MPEG-4AVC/H.264
1920×1080/50p, 1920×1080/50i,
1920×1080/25p, 1440×1080/50i,
1280×720/50p
Audio signal: Dolby Digital 2ch, LPCM 2
ch
Recording media: memory card (sold
separately)
* Data recorded in AVCHD format other than the
above mentioned cannot be played back on your
camcorder.
• Because the AVCHD format uses a data
compression system, images may be distorted in
scenes where the image, angle, or brightness
changes drastically. This is not a malfunction.
• A memory card formatted on a computer does
not have guaranteed compatibility with your
camcorder.
• Data read/write speed may vary depending on
the combination of the memory card and
memory card compliant product you use.
• Damaged or lost image data will not be
compensated for, and may occur in the
following cases:
– If you eject the memory card, turn the power
off on your camcorder, or remove the battery
pack for replacement while your camcorder is
reading or writing image files on the memory
card (while the access lamp is lit or flashing).
– If you use the memory card near electric
fields, magnetic fields, or other sources of
electromagnetic noise.
• It is recommended to make a back-up of
important data on the hard disk of a computer.
• Do not attach a label or the like on memory
card.
• Do not touch, or allow metallic objects to come
into contact with the terminals.
• Do not bend, drop or apply strong force to the
memory card.
• Do not disassemble or modify the memory card.
• Do not let the memory card get wet.
• Be careful to keep memory card out of the reach
of small children. There is danger that a child
might swallow it.
• Do not insert anything other than the compliant
size of memory card into the memory card slot.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use or keep the memory card in the
following locations:
– Places subject to extremely high temperature,
such as a car parked outside in the summer
– Places under direct sunlight
– Places with extremely high humidity or
subject to corrosive gases
