Notes

The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable 

time.

Tips

You can record movies of a maximum of 9,999 

scenes.

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.
