Using Panasonic HDC-TM700 camcorder. On page 66 of the downloaded manual, it lists four recording modes, HA, HG, HX and HE; but, all are listed in the manual at 1920x1080. HA favors picture quality and HE favors file size.
The recording times available on a given media are different; but, aside from that I cannot find any information anywhere that tells me (aside from file size) what is different about the files these recording modes make.
My guess is that the compression is different. In other words, the least compression is at HA (and maybe less lossy) and more compression at HE and therefore maybe more lossy. Is that right? If not, then what?
It would be nice if someone could refer me to some documentation on this.
Here's the manual if you care to download it. Relevant pages are 66 and 147; but, aside from file sizes being different, there's nothing of value there.
