definition (HD) signal of either the 1080i specification*

1

 or the 720p specification*

2

 using 

efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to 
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio 
data.
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that 
of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high 
definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD 
discs, hard disk drive, flash memory, memory card, etc.

Based on the AVCHD format, your camera records with the high definition image quality (HD) mentioned
