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 (SD).
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.
The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable 
time.
