Reference Tables
Approximate recording times
The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the actual recording times will vary
depending on the subject.
For AVCHD movies:
For MP4 movies:
* A single scene can be recorded continuously for 12 hours; at that point, the camcorder will stop.
Approximate number of photos
The photo size and number of photos that can be saved on a 1 GB memory card are summarized in
the following table. However, the actual number of photos that can be recorded will vary depending on
the subject and shooting conditions.
