Note

  • The times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.
  • The maximum continuous recording time for a movie is approximately 13 hours.
  • The 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 the media. Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the overall recording time.
