Tips
You can record movies of a maximum of
3,999 scenes with 3D, 3,999 scenes with high
definition image quality (HD), and 9,999 scenes
with standard definition image quality (STD).
The maximum continuous recordable time of a
movie is as follows.
3D: about 6 hours 30 minutes
2D: about 13 hours
If you want to record up to the maximum
recording time indicated in the table, you need
to delete the demonstration movie on your
camcorder.
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.
