NOTES
• Recording in LP mode gives you a
longer recording time; however,
depending on the scene being
recorded, the picture and sound
recorded in LP mode may be distorted.
We recommend using HXP or XP mode
for important recordings. If necessary,
initialize the hard disk ( 61).
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate
(VBR) when encoding the video data so
the actual recording times will vary
depending on the content of the scenes.
