ENJOYING IMAGES WITH HIGH DEFINITION (HD) QUALITY
You can view record video with HD (high definition) image quality.
• This HD camcorder offers 720p resolution with a sharper image than previous SD camcorders (480i).
It also supports widescreen recording with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
• Recordings made in HD (high definition) image quality will fit widescreen (16:9) HDTVs.
If your TV is not a high definition TV, movies with HD (high definition) image quality will be displayed with SD
(standard definition) image quality.
- To enjoy HD-quality images, you need a TV supporting 1280x720p input.
(Refer to the user manual of your TV.)
- To enjoy the HD-quality images, use an HDMI or Component cable.
The multi-AV cable does not support HD-quality images so it down-converts them to SD-quality images.
• The image is recorded in 720x480p when the quality is set to SD in the HD camcorder.
Videos recorded at SD (standard definition) image quality cannot be converted to HD (high definition).
