REFERENCE

- When printing still images, use the following guidelines as a reference for selecting the print size.

L (2048 x 1536) : To print photos up to A4 size.

M (1440 x 1080) : To print photos up to L size (9 x 13 cm, 3.5 x 5 in.) or postcard size (10 x 14.8 cm, 4 x 6 in.).

S (640 x 480): To send images as e-mail attachments or to post on the Web.

LW (1920 x 1080) : To print photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Wide-sized photo paper is required.

SW (848 x 480) : To print photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Wide-sized photo paper is required.

CAUTION

- Depending on the number of images on the memory card (Windows: 1,800 images or more; Macintosh: 1,000 images or more), you may not be able to transfer images to a computer. Try using a card reader.

- Connection to a PictBridge-compatible printer will not work when the memory card contains 1,800 images or more. For best performance, we recommend keeping the number of images on the memory card under 100.

- The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the camcorder to

mode.
