Notes
The recordable time may vary depending on the recording and subject conditions, [REC Mode]
[Details] and [ Frame Rate] [Details] .
The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.
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 (STD). And you can record a maximum of
40,000 MP4 movies and photos collectively.
The maximum continuous recording time of movies is approximately 13 hours.
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.
