* Available video clip recording time is shown when a re-formatted card is inserted. * Photo capacities and video recording times are approximations only and may vary according to the memory card type and manufacturer, the subject and the 

shooting conditions. Particularly, when a low-speed SD card is used with HD-SHQ mode, consecutive shooting may be limited to only a few seconds. * When continuous recording time exceeds approximately 13 hours for audio, the file will 

be saved, and the subsequent data will be saved in a new file. Similarly, when the recording file size exceeds 4 GB, the file will be saved and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. (A new file is automatically created for every 4 GB. 

Although recording will continue until stopped, recording of video clips and sound will stop while files are being saved.)

The 2-megapixel of the Xacti WH1 enables beautiful 
photos with vivid color and intricate detail. 
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format creates small, easy to 
handle files, and longer recordings. The Xacti WH1 also 
connects directly to a large-screen 16:9 HDTV.

2M Photos & 720p Videos

The WH1 is capable of high-speed sequential shooting at 
13 frames per second (up to 29 frames) in [2M] mode, 
ensuring that you won’t miss important shots. It also 
allows sequential shooting at 13 frames per second (up 
to 30 frames) in [1.1M] mode.

High-Speed Sequential Shooting

A waterproof design* lets you shoot at the beach, by the 
pool, or on ski slopes without worrying about submerging 
the camera or getting it wet from rain or snow. This lets 
you record action that would be impossible to capture 
with other cameras.

Waterproof (3 m)

The Xacti WH1 incorporates a high-performance 30x 
optical zoom lens with a maximum aperture of F1.8, 
allowing distant subjects and people to be captured in 
beautiful quality. Combined with the 50x digital zoom, up 
to 1,500x zooming is possible.
