Tips
• Figures such as 9M and 6M in the table show the average bit rate. M stands for Mbps.
• You can check the recordable time with [MEDIA INFO] (p. 71).
• When you use a double-sided disc, you can record images on both sides (p. 117).
• See page 33 for the recordable time ona "Memory Stick PRO Duo."
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 of media. Movies containing
quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and this reduces the overall recording
time.
