NOTES
• AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be cre-
ated with the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Use the software on the
supplied Video Tools CD-ROM to back up such scenes.
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to mode.
