Notes
• Movies recorded with the [60i 24M(FX)]/[50i 24M(FX)] or [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, 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.
