*1“Exif” is a file format for still images,
established by the JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association). Files in this format
can have additional information such as your
camcorder’s setting information at the time of
recording.
*2The unique pixel array of Sony’s ClearVid
CMOS sensor and image processing system
(new Enhanced Imaging Processor) allows for
still image resolution equivalent to the sizes
