When an HDV-compatible video format (SP
1080/60i, SP 1080/50i, or SP 1080/24P) is

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.
Notes

to-one i.LINK connection.

picture being shot with this camcorder is output as
