Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)
The camcorder offers 3 recording modes. Changing the recording
mode will change the recording time available on the memory. Select
XP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording
times. The following table gives approximate recording times.
NOTES
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the
scenes.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to mode.
