When creating AVCHD discs using “PlayMemories Home” from movies recorded in [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)] or [60i 24M(FX)]/[50i 24M(FX)], the image quality is converted and it is not possible to create discs that have the original image quality. Converting image quality takes time. To record movies with the original image quality, use Blu-ray discs.
-
To create a Blu-ray disc from movies recorded in [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], you need to use a device that is compliant with AVCHD format Ver. 2.0. The created Blu-ray disc can be played back only on a device that is compliant with AVCHD format Ver. 2.0.
