[STD PLAY], [ LONG PLAY]
When [HD STANDARD] is set to one of
the DV standards, you can change the
video quality and as a result, also the
recording time available on the tape.
Recording in LP mode extends the
available recording time on the tape 1.5
times.
Depending on the condition of the tape
(long usage, imperfections, etc.) you may
notice some video problems (blocky video
artifacts, banding, etc.) in the playback
picture when playing back recordings
made in LP mode. We recommend using
the SP mode for important recordings.
If you make recordings in both SP and
LP modes on the same tape, during
playback you may notice some video
problems in the picture at the point where
the recording mode changes.
When playing back in this camcorder
tapes recorded in LP mode with other
devices or vice versa, you may notice
some problems in the playback picture or
the sound may stop briefly.
