Full-HD images that bring out all the beauty of your memories.
High Definition vs. Standard Definition: What's the Difference?
HD images contain 5 times as much info mation as standa d
images HDTV has 080 ho izontal scan lines SDTV has 576
That t anslates into much highe esolution and much fine
detail With HD images on an HDTV pictu es a e so clea and
sha p that you can see textu es The shift in the indust y
f om SDTV to HDTV is well unde way Fo shooting once-in-a
lifetime scenes that you want to captu e in full beauty an HD
camco de is the best choice
Standard Definition
High Definiition
Each strand of hair and individual
eyelash is captured in clear, distinct detail.
• 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 MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4 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.
*In HG (high image quality mode. 1920 x 1080 full HD recording with a Panasonic home use camcorder refers to recording with 1,920 pixels in the horizontal direction and 1,080 pixels in the vertical direction.
