1When recording still images with the drive mode set to [SINGLE], this menu item will appear only if you press the FUNC. button while reviewing the still image within the time selected for the [REVIEW] setting (or immediately after recording it, if set to [OFF]).

Recording mode: You can choose between XP (high quality), SP (standard play) or LP (long play).

Approximate recording times with the supplied DVD-R blank disc are as follows: XP : 20 min., SP : 30 minutes, LP : 60 minutes.

Recording in LP mode gives you a longer recording time; however, depending on the condition of the disc (long usage, imperfections, etc.) the picture and sound recorded in LP mode may be distorted. We recommend using the XP or SP mode for important recordings.
