When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD

screen. In such cases, you can turn on the LCD backlight ( 26) or

adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the [LCD Bright- ness] setting.

The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.

The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-

corder to mode.
