b Notes
• The aspect ratio of images recorded with HD (high definition) image quality is 16:9 (wide).
z Tips
• Figures such as 16M and 14M in the table show the average bit rate. M stands for Mbps.
• You can confirm the current recordable time with [MEDIA INFO] (p. 76).
• If you use a double-sided disc, you can record on both sides of the disc (p. 125).
• For details on recordable time for movies on the "Memory Stick PRO Duo," see page 31.
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.
Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and this reduces
the overall recording time.
