Notes
• Movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], [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, you must store your
movies on a Blu-ray disc.
• To watch 60p/50p or 24p/25p movies on a TV, you need a TV that is compatible
with 60p/50p or 24p/25p. If you use a non-compatible TV, the movies are converted
to 60i/50i and output to the TV.
