≥The recording is in high definition picture quality no matter what recording mode is used to record.

≥This unit records in VBR (Variable Bit Rate). VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a recording with a lot movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.

≥Recordable time using the battery (l 16)

≥Mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image in the following cases. jWhen there is a complicated pattern in the background

jWhen the unit is moved too fast

jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded (Particularly if it has been recorded in HE mode.)

≥Many repeated recording and deletion of motion pictures may reduce the usable time for recording on an SD card. In that case, format the SD card using this unit. Since all data recorded on the SD card will be deleted once the SD card has been formatted, save important data to your PC. (l 92)
