sensors with approximately 207 million effective
pixels, for full HD resolution (1920 × 1080). The
new image sensor technology enables the capture
of very high-quality images, with a sensitivity of
F12 (59.94i) / F13 (50i) and an SN ratio of 59 dB.
S×S memory cards as recording media
Using S×S memory cards, the camcorder offers
nonlinear capabilities such as instant random
access and file-based operation.
Light weight, low power consumption
Design features such as CMOS image sensors,
custom video signal processing ICs, and S×S
memory card recording enable fanless operation
and power consumption of 15 W or less. The
camcorder's light weight (3.2 kg (7 lb 0.88 oz))
and low center of gravity make it easy to carry on
the shoulder while ensuring superior stability.
HD recording using the "MPEG-2 Long
GOP" codec
The camcorder records 1920 × 1080, 1440 ×
1080, and 1280 × 720 HD images using "MPEG-
2 Long GOP" codec compression. It offers a
choice of bit rates: either 35 Mbps (HQ mode) or
25 Mbps (SP mode).
By utilizing an efficient compression format, the
camcorder records high-quality HD images for
long recording time of approx. 100 minutes at 35
Mbps (HQ mode) or approx. 140 minutes at 25
Mbps (SP mode) on a single 32-GB S×S memory
card.

possible.)
It also supports recording and playback of SD
signals (both NTSC and PAL). The camcorder
has an optional capability to record and play back
