You can change the recording sound format with
[Audio Mode] (p. 53).
When using a Sony memory card.
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 recording times of
movies are as follows.
3D: about 6 hours 30 minutes
2D: about 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.
Notes
The recordable time may vary depending on
the recording and subject conditions and [REC
Mode] and [
Frame Rate] (p. 53).
The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable
time.
