The above recording time is for normal recording. Recording in native mode will extend recording time depending on system mode.

·· “Recording format list” (Page 164)

Use of 32 GB, 16 GB and 8 GB P2 cards will provide 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8, respectively of above recording times.

The indicated capacities include a management area so the total area available for recording is somewhat smaller.

Splitting clips recorded on P2 cards

This camera-recorder will automatically generate additional clips for a continuous recording on an 8 GB or higher capacity P2 card when the recording exceeds the durations given below. Even so, a P2 device will handle such clips as a single clip in thumbnail operations (display, delete, recover, copy, etc.). Such recordings may be handled as separate clips by nonlinear editing software or a PC.
