Notes
  • The shooting time may vary depending on the shooting and subject conditions, [REC Mode] or [Audio Format]. [Details]

  • The number in ( ) is the minimum shooting time.

  • You can shoot movies of a maximum of 40,000 scenes.

  • The maximum continuous shooting time of movies is approximately 13 hours.

  • Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the shooting scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the shooting time of the media. Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are shot at a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the overall shooting time.
