• This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard
recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera
records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a
smoother, more realistic image. Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format
can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p-supported devices.
• While aboard an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On].
On GPS-compatible devices (DSC-HX90V only)
• Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you use it.
• If you do not record the location information, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off].
