RECORDABLE TIME OF MOVIE (VIDEO)
The recordable time will vary depending on the video recording quality: See page 94 for the setting
of video recording quality.
Movie recordable time on one disc (on single side) (when recording only movies)
Note:
No movie can be recorded on SD memory card.
Although the movie quality mode or wide-screen (16:9) mode can be changed midway for recording on DVD-
RAM/DVD-RW (VR-mode) disc, it cannot be changed on DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R disc once the mode has
been selected.
If you record in XTRA mode at high temperatures, the DVD video camera/recorder will heat up and the maximum
transfer rate will be limited to approx. 6 Mbps, so the best quality will not be obtainable.
If a disc recorded is used at high temperatures, normal playback may be impossible: Turn the DVD video camera/
recorder off once, wait until the ambient temperature becomes lower, and then operate it again.
