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 internal memory space will be slightly 

smaller than the size shown below despite 

displaying both free and used internal memory 

space.

DCR-SX30E/SX40E: 4,000 MB

DCR-SX31E/SX41E: 8,000 MB

DCR-SX50E/SX60E: 16,000 MB

Since there is a management file area, the used 

space is not displayed as 0 MB even if you 

perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 58).

Tips

Only the information of the medium selected 

on [MOVIE MEDIA SET] (p. 55) is displayed. 

Change the medium setting if necessary.
