You can record movies of a maximum of 3,999 scenes with high definition image quality (HD), and
9,999 scenes with standard definition image quality (STD).
The maximum continuous recording time of movies is approximately 13 hours.
If you want to record up to the maximum recording time indicated in the table, you need to delete the
demonstration movie on your camcorder.
Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit
the recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of the media. Movies
containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the
overall recording time.
