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). And you can record a maximum 
of 40,000 MP4 movies and photos collectively.
The maximum continuous recording time of

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.
