1This camcorder supports Exif 2.3 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between

camcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camcorder’s image data at the time of shooting

is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.

Reference Tables

Approximate Recording Times with a Fully Charged Battery Pack

The usage times in the following tables are approximate and were measured under the following conditions.

Actual times may vary.

- Only the LCD screen was used.

- “Typical recording” times measure recording times with repeated operations such as start/stop recording,

zooming and turning on/off the camcorder.

The effective usage time of the battery pack may decrease when using a bright screen setting, when recording in

cold surroundings, etc.
