Notes
The recordable time may vary depending on
the recording and subject conditions and [REC
Mode] and [ Frame Rate] (p. 51).
The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable
time.
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 (STD). And you can record a maximum
of 40,000 MP4 movies and photos collectively.
The maximum continuous recording time of
movies is approximately 13 hours.
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.
