Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication betweencamcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camcorder’s image data at the time of shooting is usedand optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.2 Recordings made with the [PF25] frame rate are converted and recorded on the hard disk/memory card as 50i.
