* :The built-in memory contains music files and image files (image mix frames), so the actual recording time may be shorter than the listed values.
** A single scene can be recorded continuously for 12 hours; at that point, the camcorder will stop for about 3 seconds before resuming recording.
Caution
Bit rate indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video and also affects recording time available on the memory. If you select 50P or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at 50 frames per second, progressive.
Movies recorded in 50P or MXP mode cannot be saved on AVCHD discs. Use an external Blu-ray Disc recorder compliant with AVCHD Ver. 2.0 specifications to copy those movies onto Blu-ray discs.
The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the actual recording times will vary depending on the subject
The following types of MP4 scenes will be recognized as multiple files on other devices.
- Scenes exceeding 4 GB
- Scenes recorded at 35 Mbps exceeding 30 minutes
- Scenes recorded at a video quality other than 35 Mbps exceeding 1 hour
Depending on the TV, you may not be able to play back movies recorded in 50P or 35 Mbps.
When the video quality is set to 50P or 35 Mbps, dual recording, decoration and faders are not available.
When the shooting mode is set to [Cinema], recording in 50P or 35 Mbps is not available. When the shooting mode is set to [Baby], recording in 50P is not available.
