≥ The recording is in high definition picture quality no matter what recording mode is used to record.
≥ Maximum continuously recordable time for one scene: 12 hours
≥ The recording is paused once when the recording time for one scene exceeds 12 hours, and the
recording will automatically resume after a few seconds.
≥ This unit records in VBR (Variable Bit Rate). VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount
of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a recording with a lot
movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.
≥ Use time in the row of 4 GB in above table as a guideline for the time that can be copied onto one
DVD disc (4.7 GB).
≥ Recordable time using the battery (l 19)
≥ Mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image in the following cases.
jWhen there is a complicated pattern in the background
jWhen the unit is moved too fast
jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded
(Particularly if it has been recorded in HE mode.)
≥ Many repeated recording and deletion of motion pictures may reduce the usable time for recording on
an SD card. In that case, format the SD card using this unit. Since all data recorded on the SD card
will be deleted once the SD card has been formatted, save important data to your PC etc.
