≥The recordable times shown in the table are approximations.

≥This unit records in VBR (Variable Bit Rate). VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a recording with a lot of movement is recorded, the recording time is reduced.

≥Mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image in the following cases. jWhen there is a complicated pattern in the background

jWhen the unit is moved too fast

jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded (Particularly if it has been recorded in [LP] mode.)

≥If you record still pictures on an SD card, the recordable time available for the motion picture will become shorter.
