Notes
• Movies recorded with the [60i 24M(FX)/50i 24M(FX)]/[24p 24M(FX)/25p 24M(FX)] setting in [Record
Setting] are converted by "PlayMemories Home" in order to create an AVCHD recording disc. This
conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality. If you
want to keep the original image quality, you must store your movies on a Blu-ray Disc.
• To watch 24p/25p movies on a TV, you need a TV that is compatible with 24p/25p. If you use a non-
compatible TV, the movies are converted to 60i/50i and output to the TV.
