NOTES
•
In
LP
mode, recordings
are
more liable to
be affected
by
imperfections of the disc
used or recording conditions and you
may
experien~e
some anomalies (blocky
video artifacts, banding, skipping audio,
etc.) during playback.
We
recommend
using
XP
or
SP
mode for important
recordings.
•
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.
Zooming:
Optical,
Advanced
and
Digital
Zoom
The camcorder offers three types
of
zoom when recording movies: optical,
advanced and digital zoom
{In
(CMDRl~i'.;D
mode, only the optical
zoom is available.)
You
can also change
the zoom speed.
