ttThe above table shows values for regular recording. With native recording, even longer recording times are available depending on the system mode. (page 48)

ttIn the case of 32 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/2 of the above recording times, in the case of 16 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/4, and in the case of 8 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/8.

ttIndicated capacities include management and other area, so the space available for recording is less than the values in the table above.
