Enjoying High-Definition Video with your
Camcorder
Preserve your most treasured memories, be it unforgettable scenery or cherished
moments spent with family and friends, with high-definition video recordings of a
quality second only to actually being there.
What is High-Definition Video?
Your camcorder features a full high-definition image sensor (Full HD CMOS) that captures
video at a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels1. This results in video recordings of
unparalleled high quality, fine detail and lifelike vivid colors.
How does full high definition compare with standard-definition TV broadcasts?
Approximately 5 times the number of pixels.
Almost 90% more scanning lines.
“Full HD 1080” refers to Canon camcorders compliant with high-definition
video composed of 1,080 vertical pixels (scanning lines).
What is Cinema Mode?
Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ Cine Mode] recording program
( 45). Combine this recording program with the 25 fps progressive frame rate
[PF25] to get the enhanced effect of the 25p Cinema Mode.

1Video is recorded at this resolution only when the recording mode is set to MXP or FXP mode.
In other recording modes, the picture is resized to 1,440 x 1,080 pixels before being recorded.
Even in that case, the picture captured is detailed enough to render richly detailed recordings.

Enjoying High-Definition Video with your Camcorder
What are the advantages of a hard disk?
Your videos and photos are recorded on the built-in hard disk or commercially available
SD/SDHC memory cards2using AVCHD specifications3. This Double Media recording
system gives you longer recording times for more high-definition videos and photos.
• You can shoot approximately 11 hours ( 120 GB HDD) or 5.5 hours ( 60 GB
HDD) of video in MXP mode, which offers the highest video quality under AVCHD
specifications.
• The camcorder records video and photos in unused space on the recording media so
you need not worry about accidentally recording over important videos.
• You can immediately access the scenes you want to play back from an index menu.
• You can easily manage your video and photo collections with the supplied editing
software: ImageMixer 3 (movies) and DIGITAL VIDEO Solution Disk (photos).
Can I play back my high-definition video on other
devices?
Needless to say, you can connect your camcorder to an HDTV to enjoy your recordings
with family and friends ( 79). You also have the following options:
• You can easily play back video recorded on the memory card by inserting the
memory card directly into AVCHD-compatible TV sets and HDD or DVD recorders
that feature an SD/SDHC memory card slot4. For details, refer to the instruction
manual of your TV or digital video recorder.
• You can play back AVCHD discs of your recordings created using the optional
DW-100 DVD Burner (80) on the DVD Burner itself or on AVCHD-compatible
DVD players or Blu-ray Disc players5.
2For details about memory cards that can be used with this camcorder refer to Using a Memory
Card ( 29).
3AVCHD is the new standard for recording high-definition video. With AVCHD specifications the
video signal is recorded using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression and the audio signal is
recorded in Dolby Digital.
4Depending on the device used, correct playback may not be possible even if the device is
AVCHD-compatible. In such case, play back the recordings on the memory card using the
camcorder.
5AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be created with the optional
DW-100 DVD burner. Use the supplied software ImageMixer 3 to back up such scenes.

Important Notes About the Hard Disk Drive
Your hard disk camcorder allows you to shoot and store many hours of video.
However, there are differences between recording onto a hard disk and recording
onto other media. Make sure to follow the points below when using your camcorder.
For more details, refer to Handling Precautions ( 113).
Back up your recordings periodically
Make sure to transfer your movies and photos
to an external device such as a computer or
digital video recorder ( 80) and back them
up regularly and especially after making
important recordings. Canon shall not be
liable for any loss or corruption of data.
Do not subject the camcorder to
vibrations or strong impacts
The hard disk is a high-precision device.
Vibrations, strong impacts or dropping the
camcorder may result in permanent data loss.
Keep the drop sensor activated
whenever possible
The drop sensor ( 96) detects when the
camcorder is dropped and activates a
protection mechanism to help prevent hard
disk damage. Turning this function off will
disable the mechanism. Even if this function
is set to [ On] and the camcorder is
dropped, hard disk damage can occur.
Do not disconnect the power source
while the camcorder is on
Always turn the camcorder off before
removing the battery or compact power
adapter.

Important Notes About the Hard Disk Drive
Do not turn off the camcorder while the
camcorder is on and the ACCESS
indicator is on or flashing or while the
camcorder is in standby mode
Doing so may result in hard disk damage or
permanent data loss.
Use the camcorder within its operating
temperature range
If the camcorder's temperature becomes too
hot or too cold, recording/playback may stop
in order to prevent hard disk damage.
Do not use the camcorder at high
altitudes
Turning on or using the camcorder in places
with low atmospheric pressure, such as at
altitudes higher than 3,000 m, may result in
hard disk damage.
Initialize the hard disk when movies
cannot be recorded/played back
normally
As movies are recorded and deleted over
time, hard disk fragmentation may occur,
which may reduce performance. Initialize the
hard disk should this happen.
Protect personal information on the
hard disk
When the hard disk is initialized or recordings
are deleted, stored data is not physically
erased. Remember this when disposing of the
camcorder or giving it to another person.
