Each recording time is measured under the following condition:

[REC MODE]: SteadyShot

When the LCD backlight turns on

Typical recording time shows the time when you repeat recording start/stop, switching the MODE ramp, and zooming.

Times measured when using the camcorder at 25 C (77 ˚F) (10 C to 30 C (50 ˚F to 86 ˚F) is recommended.).

The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder.

Tips

You can record movies of a maximum of 3,999 scenes with high definition image quality (HD), and 9,999 scenes with standard definition image quality (SD).

Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of the media. Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at

a higher bit rate, and this reduces the overall recording time.

The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.
