NOTES

For MP4 movies, you cannot review the last movie recorded if, after you recorded the movie, you performed another operation such as opening a menu.

Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)

The camcorder offers 5 recording modes for recording AVCHD movies and 2 for MP4 movies. Changing the recording mode will change the recording time available on the memory. For AVCHD movies, select MXP or FXP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording times.

For MP4 movies, you can choose one of two bit rates. Bit rate indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video. Select 4 Mbps for smaller file sizes and faster uploads.

The following table gives approximate recording times.
