What is so special about recording on flash memory?
Your videos and photos are recorded in the built-in memory ( only) or on a memory
card (SD or SDHC card) using AVCHD specifications
2
. Recording on flash memory means
that there are no moving parts in the recorder unit of the camcorder. To you, it means a
camcorder that is smaller, lighter and faster. In fact, using the Quick Start function ( 32)
you can open the LCD panel and start recording within approximately one second.
If your high-definition TV features an SD memory card slot and supports AVCHD
specifications, you can easily play back your recordings directly from the memory card
( 33).
What is Cinema Mode?
Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ CINE MODE] recording program
( 39). Combine this recording program with the
25 fps progressive frame rate
[PF
25] to get the enhanced effect of the 25p Cinema Mode.

AVCHD is the new standard for recording high-definition video. With AVCHD specifications the

recorded in Dolby Digital.
