Moving Images for a Moving Experience  
Shoot up to 60 minutes in Video Camera mode of high quality MPEG-2 videos on the supplied 4GB  
Microdrive®. A selection of recording modes lets you choose more quality or more shooting time. The highest  
quality ULTRA mode records at a constant bit rate of 8.88 Mbps with AC 3 audio*1 — comparable to the DVD  
(average 4 Mbps video/9.8 Mbps maximum) data rate — for essentially DVD quality with the same video and  
audio format as a movie DVD. And the 2.12 Megapixel CCD*2 offers the high-resolution capabilities needed for  
high-end digital videography.
