Movies are recorded in AVCHD, which is designed for
playback on HDTVs. Select this recording standard if you
plan to show off your movies and you want to impress your
audience with fantastic picture quality.

Movies are recorded in AVCHD using Story Creator
(A 67), which allows you to create compelling video
stories. Because Story Creator mode records in AVCHD,
your movies will look amazing when played back on an
HDTV.
By recording movies in MP4, your movies are smaller in
size but retain high quality. This is especially useful for
playback on portable devices or sharing on the Web.
