„„AVCHD mode

*1 Use a memory card of SD speed class 4 or above when recording with PH mode/HA mode. Recording cannot be performed with a memory card of lower than SD speed class 4.

*2 Use a memory card of SD speed class 2 or above when recording with PM mode/HE mode.

*3 PH mode: This is the highest quality mode in 1080i/720P format. PS mode: This is the highest quality mode in 1080P format.

*4 Use a memory card of SD speed class 6 or above when recording with PS mode. Recording cannot be performed with a memory card of lower than SD speed class 6.

•The camera utilizes the VBR recording system. VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate, a recording system where the bit rate automatically varies (volume of data per given time period) according to the subject being shot. Therefore, recording times will be shorter when fast moving subjects have been recorded.

•Control space is included in the displayed capacity, and available recording capacity will be smaller.

•Continuous recording time is a maximum of 12 hours (when using the AC adaptor).

•Recording can be sometimes restarted even if it was paused due to shortage of space.

•Even for the same memory card, the recording time differs depending on conditions such as the recording format or recorded images.

•The recording time of a memory card may shorten when record and delete are repeated often over and over. In that case, format the memory card with the camera. When a memory card is formatted, all data recorded on the memory card is erased and cannot be restored. Save important data to your computer.

•Use a memory card of SD speed class 6 or above when using the VFR function. Recording cannot be performed with a memory card of lower than SD speed class 6.
