Here you can also choose how you want to organize your imported video in the Event Library. And finally you will need
to choose the size you wish to import, either Full – 1920x1080 or Large – 960x540.
On the Ag-hmC40 camcorder, when you connect your USB cable
to your computer, the LCD display on the camera will prompt
you to touch either the PC or Printer Device button. Touch PC.
The Printer Option here is for the still picture functionality of the

Since your Panasonic AVCHD camera records in full
1920x1080, you should select Full.
