•The zoom, Quick Start function, power saving modes, etc. operate the

same way in mode as in mode. For details, refer to Dual Shot Mode (042).

Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)

The camcorder offers 5 recording modes. Changing the recording mode will change the recording time available on the memory. Select MXP or FXP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording times. The following table gives approximate recording times.

Operating modes:

[FUNC.] 8[MENU] 888[Recording Mode] 8 Desired recording mode 8[a]

NOTES

•Scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be saved onto AVCHD discs using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Use the supplied software ImageMixer 3 SE to back up such scenes.

•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.
