advanced optical multi-layer
coating that offers less glare
and flare with increased
contrast. This results in vivid
image brilliance, true-to-life
colour saturation and perfect
renditions of subtle tones. The
additional T* coating on the
lens further reduces unwanted
glare and flare.

perform optimally, such as when
shooting through a window or in
a crowded environment.

English to English (Simplified),
Canadian French, Latin American
Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese.
DVD
Format Video Recording

device used). After finalizing
the disc in the camcorder, the

Disc™ players and even
PlayStation® 3 video game
consoles.
