The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable
time.
Tips
You can record movies of a maximum of 3,999
scenes with high definition image quality (HD),
and 9,999 scenes with standard definition image
quality (STD).
The maximum continuous recording time of
movies is approximately 13 hours.
If you want to record up to the maximum
recording time indicated in the table, you need
to delete the demonstration movie on your
camcorder.
Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) format to automatically adjust image
quality to suit the recording scene. This
technology causes fluctuations in the recording
time of the media. Movies containing quickly
moving and complex images are recorded at
a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the overall
recording time.
