NOTES
• Scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be saved onto AVCHD discs
using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Use the supplied software
ImageMixer 3 SE to back up such scenes.
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.

corder to
