  • Each recording time is measured when the camcorder is recording high definition image quality (HD) movies with [REC Mode] set to [Standard ].

  • Typical recording time shows the time when you repeat recording start/stop, switching the MODE lamp, and zooming.

  • Times measured when using the camcorder at 25 ˚C (77 °F). 10 ˚C to 30 ˚C (50 °F to 86 °F) is recommended.

  • The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

  • The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder.
