You can record movies of a maximum of 9,999

scenes.

The maximum continuous recording time of

movies is approximately 13 hours.

Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit

195
Rate) format to automatically adjust image
390
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.
