Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set
the picture quality/recording time. There are six standard
settings available, which allow you to choose a balance
between picture quality and recording time.
When Manual Recording is set to On (see Manual
Recording on page 134), a further option will be available
(MN1–32, LPCM or XP+, depending on what you set).
See also Recording time and picture quality on page 80 for
more information.
