HDC-SX5
HDC-SD5
• AVCHD is a new standard for recording HD signals onto memory cards, DVD discs, and hard disks. It uses the H.264 standard to achieve
more than twice the compression of conventional MPEG2 and MPEG4 standards.
• AVCHD motion images recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played from a device that does not support the AVCHD standard.
• Do not insert a disc containing AVCHD-recorded images into a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. The disc cannot be played on such
a device, and it may not be possible to remove the disc once inserted.
