[
REC MODE]: SP
Recording media: The internal memory or “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media
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).
