time for each recording mode of the

Notes

The calculation for recording media space is 1 

MB = 1,048,576 bytes. The fractions less than 

MB are discarded when the recording media 

space is displayed. The displayed size of the 

whole hard disk space will be slightly smaller 

than the size shown below despite displaying 

both free and used hard disk space.

HDR-XR100E/XR105E/XR106E: 80 000 MB

HDR-XR200E/XR200VE: 120 000 MB

Since there is a management file area, the used 

space is not displayed as 0 MB even if you 

perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 71).

Tips

Only the information of the medium selected 

on [MOVIE MEDIA SET] (p. 69) is displayed. 

Change the medium setting if necessary.
