∫ About the recording format for recording motion pictures
This unit can record motion pictures in either AVCHD or MP4 formats.
AVCHD:
This is a format for precise, high-definition video. This format is best used when the video 
will be displayed on a high-definition TV, or saved to a disc and watched on a computer.
MP4:
This is a simpler video format best used when extensive editing is needed, or when 
uploading videos to the internet.
∫ About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
Motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD] or [MP4] may be played back with poor picture or 
sound quality or playback may not be possible even when played back with equipment 
compatible with these formats. Also, the recording information may not be displayed 
properly. In this case, use this unit.
For details on MP4 compatible devices, refer to the support sites below.
