“Exif” is a file format for still images,
established by the JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association). Files in this
format can have additional information
such as your camcorder’s setting
information at the time of recording.

The unique pixel array of Sony’s
ClearVid CMOS Sensor and image
processing system (new Enhanced
Imaging Processor) allows for still
image resolution equivalent to twice that
of the image sensor’s effective pixel
count.
