Note on Recording mode
Your camcorder records and plays back in the SP (standard play) mode and in the LP (long play) mode. Select SP or LP in the menu settings. In the LP mode, you can record 1.5 times as long as in the SP mode.
When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing the tape on your camcorder.
