When recording video, the length of time required for recording de pends on the REC mode
setting (such as FX, HD FH, SP, etc.) on a cam era used to shoot the video, and the number of
scenes the video contains. Typically, more time is required to record videos onto a disc if the
video was recorded with a higher image quality (bit rate) setting. The chart below provides a
general estimate of time required to record.

required for recording is the same as the playback time of the video.
