Performance Features
5.3 Mega Pixel 1/2.8” CMOS Image Sensor

CMOS image sensor that can record video at
1920x1080/60Hz and still images at 2400x1800 pixels.

8cm BD-RE/-R/DVD Drive

quiet and highly reliable 8cm BD/DVD drive which
is compatible with five types of industry standard discs:
BD-RE/-R, DVD-RAM/-RW/-R.

30GB Built-in HDD
Enables the hybrid camcorder to record up to four hours
of 1920x1080 video or eight hours of 1440x1080 video.

Hitachi Exclusive High Resolution Image Processing LSI

the 5.3 Mega Pixel CMOS image sensor and improves
picture quality by reducing noise and delivering vibrant
colors.

With the 1-touch dubbing feature users can burn entire
movies saved on the HDD to BD. Alternatively, you
can create your own highlight reel by selecting on the
highlight scenes.

Transcoding

the HDD to be transferred to standard definition DVD
