Tips
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.
