∫ About the recording format for 
recording motion pictures
You can select from either AVCHD or iFrame 
recording formats to record motion pictures 
using this unit. (l 61)
AVCHD:
You can record high definition quality images 
with this format. It is suitable for viewing on a 
large format TV or for saving to disc.
iFrame:
This is a recording format suitable for 
viewing and editing with a Mac (iMovie’11).
When using the iMovie’11, you can import 
motion pictures in iFrame format quicker 
than with AVCHD. You can also make the 
file size of the imported motion picture 
smaller than when importing AVCHD.
≥ It is not compatible with motion picture 
recorded in AVCHD format.
∫ Indemnity about recorded 
content
Panasonic does not accept any 
responsibility for damages directly or 
indirectly due to any type of problems that 
result in loss of recording or edited content, 
and does not guarantee any content if 
recording or editing does not work properly. 
Likewise, the above also applies in a case 
where any type of repair is made to the unit
 (including any other non-built-in memory/
HDD related component).
∫ Handling of built-in memory 
[HDC-TM80]
This unit is equipped with the built-in 
memory. When using this component, pay 
attention to the following points.
Back up data periodically.
The built-in memory is temporary storage. In 
order to avoid erasing data due to static 
electricity, electromagnetic waves, 
breakage, and failures, back up the data to a 
PC or DVD disc. (l 100, 110)
≥ Access lamp [ACCESS] (l 18)

∫ Handling of HDD [HDC-HS80]
This unit is equipped with the built-in HDD. 
While the HDD is capable of storing a large 
amount of data, there are a few things to 
look out for. When using this component, 
pay attention to the following points.
Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and 
shocks.
Due to the environment and handling 
conditions, the HDD may be subject to 
partial damages or may not be able to read, 
record, and play back data. Do not expose 
the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not 
turn off the unit during recording or playback.
If the unit is used in a place with loud 
sounds, such as a club or similar venue, 
the recording may stop due to sound 
vibrations. Recording data on an SD card 
is recommended in these places.
Back up data periodically.
The HDD is temporary storage. In order to 
avoid erasing data due to static electricity, 
electromagnetic waves, breakage, and 
failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD 
disc. (l 100, 110)
If the HDD experiences any abnormality, 
back up data immediately.
Failure in the HDD may produce continuous 
noise or choppy sound during recording or 
playing back. Continuous use will cause 
further deterioration, and may eventually 
disable the HDD. If these phenomena are 
observed, copy the data on the HDD to a PC, 
a DVD disc etc. immediately and contact 
consumer support. (

152, 153)
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot 
be restored.
