When an HDV-compatible video format (SP
1080/60i, SP 1080/50i, or SP 1080/24P) is
selected, you can record the same images as those
recorded on the memory card in this camcorder
on an external device connected to the
i.LINK(HDV) connector, or record the playback
picture of the external device on the memory card
in the camcorder.
Nonlinear editing conforming to the HDV format
is also enabled.

• When the video format is not SP mode, signal
input/output via the i.LINK connector is not
enabled, even if "i.LINK I/O" is set to "Enable."
• When a cable is connected to the i.LINK(HDV)
connector during playback, the display returns
to the thumbnail screen.
• Use the i.LINK(HDV) connector only for one-
to-one i.LINK connection.
