High Definition is today’s new standard in video format. Possessing 1080 vertical screen lines, HD contains four times more visual information (with better colour reproduction) than existing video formats. It’s a revolution in video history – just like when colour TV replaced black and white! In addition to recording HD videos with an HD Handycam®, you can also enjoy TV, movies, games and photos – all in HD quality. For variety and level of enjoyment, nothing beats HD. And by this year end, Singaporeans can look forward to the launch of an HD television channel – a first of its kind in South East Asia. The move to HD can only grow bigger with time. That’s why the time to switch to HD is right now! |
| All the HD Handycam® are also compatible with SD ( Standard Definition ) Recording |
